Is it worth it to get a double or even a triple major?

It is theoretically good to have more than one major because it translates into more job opportunities. However, the tuition and time needed increases significantly and for the most part, a job would only require one major.

How important is it to get a job or internship going into college as a freshman?

I want to decide what my priorities are in college. A job is a good source of money and may even be beneficial towards one's future career. On the contrary however, it may hinder my studies if I am too immersed in my job/internship.

Why is it that teens are so reluctant to take eight am classes in college when in reality they'll probably end up working at a job that starts at eight am for the next twenty years?

As a perspective college student I have been advised by numerous college students and admissions officers that I won't have to take early classes when it comes to starting college, when college is meant to be for preparing students for starting rigorous and time structured jobs. #8amclasses
