Is it better or more valued to receive a degree with a minor or concentration?
I will be receiving my degree in Psychology with no minor nor concentration. I am wondering if I made a wise decision by doing so? I have noticed that a majority of my friends have graduated with either a minor or concentration and I never really understood what that meant. Could it just be like a little bonus/addition to the degree in which it may allow oneself to have more opportunity within a certain field than someone else could do without it? Looking back upon it now, I sometimes wonder if it would have been a more smart idea to at least minor in something. I just hope that for my sake it does not make things harder for myself to land a job. #college-minor #majors-and-minors

is having a minor in college really necessary?
I am asking this because when I started my first year of college I was not planning on having a minor. I have asked a handful of people if it is really necessary and I always get different answers, so now I bring my question to this website for the professionals. My advisor at school is pushing me to do a minor but there is really nothing that interests me enough to pay for classes other than my major. The only way I would pick a minor is if it would help me get a career later on in life. #college #college-major #college-minor #majors-and-minors
