Starting college is full of decisions that you will need to make and at some point, one question you will be confronted with is: Should you double major?

Earning a double major is increasingly popular as it gives you an in-depth understanding of two different fields. It can also make you a more competitive candidate during the job search and, eventually, a more highly paid employee.

Of course, it also means more work and a much tighter schedule.

So, what do you need to know to enable you to make the decision about double majoring and it is right for you?
