[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many employers value two related majors plus a foreign language.

Accounting & finance plus Spanish for one Big Four which acquired & expanded into Spanish speaking markets.

CS/econ/stats/data analysis are 4 majors which--if any combination--are favored by employers.

Creative writing/English/theater triple major for screenwriters.

Astonished by the posters who fail to understand the value of a triple majors as it creates more options for the student in the real world.[/quote]

Once more...employers want you to be fluent in a foreign language which is more important than majoring in a foreign language (and many of those kids aren't fluent).  They don't care how you obtained fluency.

Also, a Big Four doesn't care much at all if you "majored" in finance and accounting vs. just accounting...and if you want to work in a Spanish-speaking market, they want you to speak Spanish, but there are plenty of jobs working in the US.

Screenwriting isn't a job where you are hired really...many screenwriters don't even have college degrees and it is usually project work.  I know plenty of folks that wrote for TV shows (which is much closer to a regular job in entertainment writing), and nobody even asks about your college degree.  It's a combination of knowing the right people and writing lots of treatments and spec scripts.[/quote]
