[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A very unimpressive student at my college was a triple major.  The three majors were nearly identical in requirements.  The idea that he triple majored made him into a walking joke.[/quote]

But there are plenty who are not like that.

I double majored.  CS (from Eng School)/Engineering  and Music Performance.  Long before it was popular.  I had nearly 6 years of courses to cram into 5 (and I took more music courses than required, so really took 6.5 years of classes in 5).  And this was way before AP was popular (I had two AP courses offered at my HS)  There was no overlap.  There were others who did CAS and Music (that was more popular as only 5 years of courses so "easier" to complete).

Can you walk me through the logic on this?  I am not paying for an extra year or two of college for my kid to double major where the majors aren't complementary.  I get majoring in say Economics and French and then working for the IMF (I don't even know if the IMF wants someone like this...but I assume it helps).

Was this because you wanted to be a professional musician, but needed practical skills so you could support yourself with a day job while you pursue music?
