Ken’s Answer

It will be challenging. However, the most important question is "Is it necessary?" The only way to find out is to talk to those who are doing what you think that you want to do and get their opinion from their experience. Many times you can get enough experience in college in theater through extra curricular activities to suffice or you could major in on field and minor in another, which would be less stressful. From my years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, here are some tips:

Ken recommends the following next steps:

The sooner you start on this process and the more time and effort you spend on it will have an impact on your education/career journey - so start now. You are not only getting valuable information, but you are developing networking connections that will greatly benefit your journey. 80% of people who get jobs and succeed in their career areas do so through this personal one on one in person networking process. Best of luck!!
Locate professional associations to which professionals in your career area of interest belong, so that you can get to know and talk to others in the that career area.

Talk to the person in your school who tracks and works with graduates to arrange to meet, talk to, visit, and possibly shadow those who might be doing what you think that you might want to do based on the testing.
Talk interest and aptitude testing to see in what career areas your personality traits most match with people in those areas.

TLAURENTONI’s Answer

Twofold majoring isn't hard. What number of courses does a significant regularly require in the division? 10-12 out of your 40? You'll actually have a lot of electives after twofold majoring. A marginally more troublesome test, contingent upon your school, is getting a twofold degree.
