What is the benefit of incorporating a minor into a college degree?

I am thinking of adding a machine learning minor to my psychology major in college. However, I am unsure if this is the right path. I am not well versed in computer science and simply wanted to gain knowledge on the topic. Any advice is appreciated.

Can I follow product design successfully with ease after taking Biology instead of maths because that's what I'm interested in ?

How do I follow a path of product design by taking PCB and a seperate design course. I have no interest in maths even though my dad says it's almost compulsory. I was unable to do maths since a low grade. Biology has always been a strong subject. But can one pursue design by choosing it? If yes, what is the success rate? Currently in class 11 pursuing design.

The best advice I have gotten when starting a new career or path is to become part of the conversation. How can I help pass this advice along?

Entering IT, I did not have a degree or background. Becoming conversational with IT, tech news, home lab projects, and nerd culture helped me learn by immersion. Fields like cybersecurity and AI require people to be immersed in information and to be connected by the culture. How can I demonstrate this to people trying to enter fields like AI, IT and cybersecurity? How can I share this idea to inspire new students/ workers or seasoned professionals? How can I apply this advice to different fields? This specific question is because I find myself often being asked "how can I get into (usually AI or cybersecurity)". As someone who is actively touching both fields but is not an expert in either, I find myself sharing news, blogposts, videos, and books on the topics. After when I try to strike up a conversation about the topic I find many of them are simply uninterested in the topics and don't want to immerse themselves into current events and breakthroughs. Many of them want a credetial and a job but are uninterested in how the field is evolving or trying to bring active change to that field. How can I inspire self learning? How can I help kids in school that are eager to grow into a field understand self motivation and self learning?

While I always do my best in interviews—maintaining good eye contact, staying calm, and speaking steadily—I've noticed that even though they seem to like me, I haven't been selected yet. I appreciate any advice or tips that could help me improve and succeed in these opportunities. Edit: I got the job! Just waiting to hear back about training. Thank you all for the advice!
