Major in Psych or Stats

Hi guys,

I'm currently a senior and was thinking about changing my major from psychology to statistics. I'm not entirely sure what I want to do after college, but I wanted to work in data analytics. I feel that majoring in statistics would give me an edge in that field, since a lot of my coursework focuses on coding and statistical methods. If I were to do so, I'd have to stay for an additional semester.

Or I can stick with my psychology major and just minor in statistics, which would give me that experience as well. The only issue is that I feel like employers only look at the majors and not minors when looking at an applicant. I have also heard about how psych majors do not get job offers unless they go to graduate school. I'm not interested in going to graduate school, since I'm a little burnt out from working while being in school currently.

Does a psych degree or a stats degree have a better ROI?
