If you agree to stop using the word redpill on this board I'll explain to you why or why not you should care about your minor

dont minor in business. even business majors are having trouble making it in the world. a business minor will be even worse off.

minor in computer science, math, or physics. that will get you a programming job.

Fair enough. I just like it as slang for "explain to me", not the other connotations it's gotten.

How important are minors? Not OP, I'm biochemistry, 1 more class for math minor and 1 more class for Chem minor. Already plan on math minor, is it worth the extra class for a Chem minor.

You don't need a minor.

That's it. Unless you're trying for some very specific field with requirements they perfunctorily added on to annoy people.

No matter what major it is, you don't need a minor. It's your choice if you want the extra work

You don't need to have a minor.

The CSE minor at my school is pretty unforgiving length-wise (17 hrs and a 3 hr pre-req. course). Would a couple classes do anything?

I know I don't need one in the sense of it being a graduation requirement, but would anything help? I'm willing to put some extra work in as long as I can still finish on time.

A couple classes will help but not really in the grand scheme of things.

You will be a terrible programmer if you don't get at least that minor (assuming that you don't do any programming in your own time. If you do do programming in your free time, post that online and it might be enough to land you an interview).

Im glad I got loads of maths credits as they have given me enough hours to teach maths. I didn't minor in it, just have them. Many of the places I work require a masters with at least 18 credits in whatever subject. I guess you could consider those credits a minor...but I always felt people got minors when an advisor said, "oh, hey, one more class and we write more on the degree sheet."

Unless your degree requires a minor or you are within a class or two of finishing one anyway, I wouldn't bother with a minor. With your extra time either take classes that just sound interesting or deliberately don't so you can work/socialize/study better for your major.

I don't know if this is nearly as true if you have grad school in your sights, but if you're heading out into the work force, you don't need a minor unless the job you're gunning for tells you that it's something you should get. And by and large, they don't.
