What should I double major in?
School: Canisius College in Buffalo, New York; I'm a sophomore
Current Major: Criminal Justice Post-Grad Plans: Good Law School Why do I need a double major? Quite simply, options. What's most +EV? Business or Finance and it isn't even close. This also happens to be my two least favorite things in the world. What's easiest? Probably History (useless) or Communications (not so useless) What's hardest? Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc. What's useless? English, Modern Language (I'm bilingual, Russian being my birth language), aforementioned History, Engineering So there you have it. What did you major in? Was it easy? Is it useful? Do you recommend me even trying for a double major? Other random thoughts? Here's a picture of Josie Maran for your troubles:

if you want to go to law school, i recommend english. learning to read and write well will get you very, very far.

Patent lawyers are a hot commodity right now, and they make some pretty sweet bank. If you have a demonstrated scientific background, letting you better understand what's being patented, you'll be in great shape.

Re: What should I double major in?
I'm a 1L at Tulane, and drawing on my vast experience, I think you're right that Business or Finance are the best options. A modern language would be great, as that will give you opportunities to work in huge firms offices abroad. I would go with German or Chinese. An english major isn't bad, as long as you realize that literary writing has nothing to do with legal writing. I took history as a major, and it's not bad, as I did tons of reading, analytical thinking, and writing. Anything that's not polsci is probably a good choice. Philosophy would be good. Good luck.
