Should I drop my Computer Science minor (Incoming IB Analyst - Senior in college)

Hey guys,

I am a senior in my final semester, and I'll be starting as an analyst after graduating in May. I am double majoring along with minoring in CS. I am almost done with double majors and require 3 more CS electives (about 10 upper division credits - STEM) to finish my minor. I can definitely do it, but it'll take up a decent amount of time. I also work part-time. 

Work more, give my GMAT (don't have pressing plans for business school yet) & spend more time preparing for the analyst gig (also potentially enjoy some more time off in my final semester)

Although CS the minor isn't very useful on the job, I still think I could talk to people about it and portray it nicely. What would you guys suggest?

thanks

 

Just drop it unless you really want the coding skillset, it's not gonna make a difference to how people see you man.
