Didn't want to hijack the AP thread, but I notice that the idea of the "useless minor" keeps popping up. So, I have to ask, why are minors useless?
I am a freshman advisor and I encourage all but the nursing majors (they have no extra time in their schedules) to think about a minor. Why? because it's the chance to study another field in more depth. Why is the in depth study of another subject area a useless endeavor? Only because it doesn't increase marketability in the business world? And while it's merely anecdotal and not commonplace, I do know people who've made careers or gotten feet in the door because of a minor.
Back in the day, at the small LAC I attended, we had to have a minor unless we were double majoring.
