I am majoring in geology. I am going to work in mining after getting a Geo master's, get an MBA, and then either start or fund natural resources companies (through entrepreneurship, senior management, banking, or private equity). I also want to spend some time in real estate development, and am curious as to the better plan:
Major in Geology, take lots of Econ classes and others as per my interests, maybe two or three in Architecture
OR
Major in Geology, take some Econ classes and minor in Architecture
Any ideas?

My architecture major friends always spent a ton of time in studio working on their projects. I'm sure the minor won't be as intensive but it'll probably require more time than is needed for someone looking to go into development. If anything, I'd maybe take a class to learn the basics but that's it. Anything more than that is overkill, in my opinion.
If you need some other relevant classes, there may be some applicable ones in public policy or city planning.
