Thoughts on Double Major in Wildlife Biology and Environmental Science Management
Hey guys, I'm a first year Wildlife, Fish and Conservation Biology major with plans to pursue a minor in Geographic Information Systems. I'm not exactly sure what I want to do in wildlife yet, and I'm scared that I'll dig myself into a niche hole where I won't be able to financially stabilize myself to go for a master's degree. The job market is daunting for me long term, so I'm looking for potential academic cushions in case working directly with wildlife doesn't go well.
With that in mind, do you guys think it'd be worth it to pursue a double major Environmental Science & Management? I'm leaning towards yes but I'm not sure if it'd make a difference if I was applying for a job after I graduate. I was wondering if it'd catch an employers eye because it's an additional academic skill set, however I'm not sure if that's better and if I should just focus on my one degree. I'd appreciate your guys thoughts!
