Minor vs Major

Hey guys, welcome back to the blog! So today I am going to answer so big misconceptions that everyone including myself has had about the Minors and Majors in college.

Let me start of with a question: How many credit hours do you get from most classes except for labs?

I'm sure you knew that it was 3. And I am sure you know that labs such as Chemistry 1 lab are 1 credit hour because most of the times they are complimentary to the main lecture class.
Fun Fact: I found out last week that for most colleges the class number's (you know the 1302 English) second number is normally the number of credit hours you earn through the class. So if your class is BIOL 1106 you receive 1 credit hour and most likely it is a lab class that compliments your main lecture class.

Sooo, anyway back to the main subject: Minor vs. Major.
Some friends of mine have ask me about the differences, what they should get and what's easier. So let me start of with the fact that the answers to those questions are very dependent of what job you want in the future. If you want to be in business maybe get a major in business and minor in a foreign language or communication or whatever compliments your professional goals. Personally, I want to be a Biochemist who does research in Alzheimer's so I will major in Biology with a concentration in molecular and Cell Biology but I am also planning on majoring in Spanish. Why in Spanish? Because of the fact that I think it is a very interesting language and it is one of the fastest growing languages. Most recent breakthroughs in medical science have been in Spanish speaking countries especially Mexico. That is why these to majors are right for me. If you do not know yet what you want to do please do some research, talk to professionals, get internships to test the field, because you should know what you are working for hen you enter college.

So without further ado:

Minor	Major
Requires about 18 credit hours Example Minors	Requires about 120 credit hours  Typical Degree Plan
Minors do not give you a Bachelor's degree, but they do give you a diploma (in most cases).	Degree: Bachelor's degree (B.A., B.S., B.B.,B.A.A.S. etc.)
Many majors do not require perquisites	Most majors at least 15+ hours of Major requirement that have to be completed on top of core requirements before you can start classes that actually pertain to your major
Minors often compliment you Major with a quick overview of key elements	Majors give you more time within a subject/ go more in dept
Minors look good on a resume	Your major is the most important part of your resume
Your college might not offer them in the subject area you are interested in	You should pick a college that offers the major you want
You can get a Master's degree from a minor	You will look like a better candidate when applying to a master's degree pertaining to your major
2-1 concept: if you have 1 major you should get 2 minors	2-1 concept: if you have 1 minor you should get 2 majors

Thank you guys I hope this helped somebody!
