I am going to address some of the sentiments expressed in this thread. 1. This is not a choice between having a minor and not having a minor. This is a choice between having a minor and having a certain amount of free time slots available for any combination of 1)random electives, 2)part-time internships/employment, 3)freelancing, 4)side projects. 2. As far as your career goes, a minor will have very little impact. It will just be a line on your resume. However, side projects and work experience is going to be much more impressive. 3. If you are interested in certain fields (philosophy, economics, business), then you could consider just taking a selection of interesting courses from each, rather than tying yourself down with a minor.
