Are minors looked at by jobs or are they not important?
I'm thinking about taking on some minors to further my education, but I've heard that minors don't matter to employers. Is this true? Are minors just as important as majors? For more context, I am currently a Theatre Arts major and English and Creative Writing: Publishing major. I want to get rid of my English and Creative Writing: Publishing major because it is not what I am passionate about. I am passionate about theatre, and I want to pursue a career in the business side of theatre. The dream would be to be an Artisitic Director of a theatre. I was thinking of adding minors in Marketing and Graphic Design, and possibly others, because adding a Business major would add too many semester hours and credits onto my workload. Would employers look at and take into account my minors, or would they solely look at my major(s)? Are minors considered an important aspect of my education to employers?

How to decide between a major in film or finance?
I'm torn because my film teacher said that you don't need a degree to work in film, but isn't that the same with accounting?

What second major or minor should I pair with psychology?
I'm currently a junior in high school and a dual-enrollment student with my local community college. We did an assignment in the CC where we needed to plan out how exactly we would transfer to a four year university. When doing so, I was looking at the college I would like to go to and in their Bachelors degree in psychology, they require a second major, minor, or other "certified program." I'd like to be a clinical psychologist, and I'm not sure which second major or minor (possibly program?) would pair best with the clinical psychology part. I was considering biology, but I'm not sure if it would be better to major or minor in it along with the psychology major. I appreciate any advice or feedback, even if it doesn't fully answer my question. :)
What would be the best major for someone planning on applying for the FBI?
I’m getting ready to apply to colleges and this entire time my plan has been to major in criminology (or homeland security if offered) and minor in sociology. But, before that I plan on going to the marine corps but doing reserves so I can go to college while enlisted. I would like to switch to active duty after graduating college, and after finishing my contract I’d like to apply for the FBI. This has been my plan for quite a while but now I keep seeing things saying criminology and sociology are useless majors for the FBI and that “they’re not competitive enough”. Should I switch my majors (if so, what would suit me better), or should I stick with my original majors? Thank you in advance for the help!

What should I major in? I am stuck between three options.
Summary: I like quantum mechanics and how it relates to chemistry and of course, physics, but pure math also captivates me. I’m having trouble deciding between three majors. The majors are math, physics, and chemistry. For some background, I am a rising freshman in high school. I have experience with all three subject areas. I’ve been interested in chemistry since third grade. I started memorizing the order of the elements and eventually finished. I tore through books and bored my family. I am currently self-studying physical chemistry, and I’m really enjoying. I’m currently focusing on quantum chemistry. It was the branch of chemistry that really stuck out to me. Other areas aren’t as interesting to me. I’m also currently self-studying higher level math just so I can understand physical chemistry better. Now, for physics, I’m really only interested in quantum mechanics, acoustics, low and ultra-low temperature, and maybe the chemical part. Classical mechanics doesn’t really interest me. I’ve attended a physics camp and toured the labs. I fell in love with the low temperature lab. I will come back to the camp as a mentor in future. In fifth grade, I loved particle accelerators. We had an independent project, and that’s what I made my video on. Now for math, I love math. It’s my favorite subject. As previously mentioned, I’m thoroughly enjoying self-studying math. I enjoying teaching others what I learn as well. I want to learn all of the math in world. I get visibly excited when a math topic I like is discussed. Pure math interests me the most. I’m not opposed to double majoring or having minors. I’m planning on going to grad school. For careers, I’d like to become a researcher or work in academia, but I really can’t decide what field. Is there a major that combines the three fields?

I want a job where I can really connect with others by providing services like counseling, humanitarian deeds, focusing on physical but mostly emotional health , and also being able to do research on social groups and personal interactions with others (that is based on the individual) to better understand the community and to assist that community overall.
