I minored in Marketing and didn't even put it on my resume. Comp Sci or Accounting would definitely be more useful
Might be an unpopular opinion but I’d do something you genuinely enjoy that might not be as “useful”.
I majored in finance and minored in philosophy. Really enjoyed both for different reasons. It was great to have a minor that I feel like allowed me to use a different part of my brain and develop totally different skills. You could definitely do CS or another technical minor, but since fin is technical in and of itself, it might be nice to explore something totally different that you genuinely enjoy.
This is a good point. A lot of companies dont care what you minored in so if you want a break from technical classes you could minor in like finger painting or something that you would actually look forward to
Philosophy is something that has caught my eye as a minor. Trying to find the right balance for what I want vs what I need. Thanks for the comment
Math and teach yourself to code, python, Java + machine learning is all you’ll need
I minored in some sort of random communications thing to do with e commerce. Took a lot classes I aced with a lot of attractive non business girls so worth it. Just have fun with your minor.
I did Econ and communication studies. Comm studies provides a good talking point especially with co-worker relations and client facing topics. Plus easy A+ and slightly interesting.
If your finance degree does not have a lot of accounting courses built in I would recommend doing that, helpful in general but especially for recruiting purposes.
