Double major & minor vs 3 minors and random classes?

Okay, I'm not an over achiever I promise...I just have a passion for learning and try to take as much credits as I possibly can a semester.

I am a junior and I am currently trying to major in Public Relations. I can double major in Psychology if I stick with just psychology and PR classes without going "out of my field" e.g. doing art / music / political science stuff that I also want to do... If I go this route and stick with my field classes I'd have a double major in Psychology & Public relations w/ a minor in Spanish..

I'm just wondering if that would even be worth not being able to do "random classes." I am about 9 credits off of getting a double major so I'm so close (I have a minor already) but I'm wondering how much of a significance a double major actually has in the work field / graduate school application process? I'm applying for the AmeriCorps and PeaceCorps, do they pay any attention to that kind of stuff also?

Update:

B.A. Public Relations & B.S. Psychology w/ Minor in Spanish (OR) B.A. Public Relations w/ a Minor in Spanish, Psychology & Fine Arts

    Double Majors are very perplexing to realize and you'd be in school lots longer than you have gotten planned. i've got been a Psych important and merely have been given my affiliate's diploma. At my college I transferred to, i replaced into going to soak up yet another important, music administration, yet i might desire 50+ credit for Psychology to get my Bachelor's diploma and eighty+ to get my diploma in music administration. it would probable take me approximately 5 years to get it accomplished. that would not appear as if lots yet once you spent 2 years getting your affiliate's, it particularly is going to take purely 2 years to get your Bachelor's afterwards, no longer 5! they are able to be accomplished, notwithstanding it particularly is countless artwork and a brilliant quantity of time. surprisingly in case you apart from might desire to minor in some thing. My suggestion is to important interior the single you particularly desire to artwork in. Minor interior the single you ought to apply as a backup, and use all your electives for imaginitive writing instructions.
