Adding minor studies on CV

before having studied i studies in Engineering (mining), and eventually quit when i realized the jobs and lifestyle would suck. Would it be innaproiate if i put this in my CV (for future reference)?:

B.A Finance Minor Geochemistry

???

looks funky but might raise eyebrows? Not that care, since i already work in ST, but still...what you all think?

so not in my case...despite the cal 1 cal 2 cal 2 diff calulus, introduction to earth chemistry....etc...?

your saying i shouldnt put it, even if it gives cred to my claim of being more quanty than the average Ba in Finance?

 

well, i got more than a minor (did about half of my bachelors), but i never bothered to get it recognized, since i just left. Just realized now i could do it... i know its not a self-awarded accolade,...that made me laugh.thanks for advice

dude that's an interesting situation. on the one hand, that shows a certain i-don't-live-my-life-off-a-fucking-checklist ballerness, which is admirable, whether or not it was conscious. on the other, contact your damn school and see if you can still - somehow! - get the official recognition !!!!

thanks..well, i hated it, left, never looked back..got into finance, got ok grades, then back-office, then risk, now S&T... thing is most ppl here are academic achievers..ie they have masters...not me...so i just wanted more bragging rights.

thanks..ill officially tell ppl i got a minor is this shit

 
balbasurI got a question in response to this should you put minor gpa as well ?

i dunno know. have you ever seen a minor gpa? it may be legit for all i know. but it somehow makes me think of someone putting "remedial math (MATH 116) GPA: 4.0". haha, i might be exaggerating.
