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.

If you take a specific number of hours of courses in a specific field of study you have earned a major in the category and earn a degree in that discipline. If you take another number of hours of study (less than the major) you minor in another discipline. Often minors are not v relevant but it was for me. I was a biology major in college and minored in philosophy (believing the diversity would help me get into med school). Having a philosophy major/minor is not a prerequisite to obtaining admission to most grad schools if you have autodidatically learned the relevant procedure and material but it sure helped me gain admission to my first choice grad program and receive a fellowship when I changed gears and decided I wanted to obtain a Ph.D instead of an MD.
