Explain College Majors and Minors to me like I’m 5 please

292 views

I’m going to college for the first time and I want to Major in Engineering, didn’t realize I had to choose a minor as well and was thinking about Political Science. Do these 2 pair well as far as long term career benefits go? I’m oblivious to this whole college world…

EDIT: Aerospace Engineering, the Astronautical Branch. Sorry for not including in the original post. I’m just a guy who loves space/spaceflight and finally decided I wanted to do something about it by going to school and try to make a difference in the field. My ultimate dreams/aspirations are to work at NASA.

What type of engineering? It makes sense to pair a minor with the type of engineering that you are going to be doing.

Example: You want to do electrical engineering, a music minor might be helpful if you want to work on designing audio equipment.

A civic engineering degree might pair well with some form of environmental minor.

Try and find 2 that pair together for some sort of focused career.
