How does the major and minoring thing in college work? I kinda have 2 interest of what I want to do in life.?
I am currently a high school sophomore. I know i may want a carrer in acounting and/or forensic sciences. (Theres something called forensic accounting, ive been told which you look at criminals finances and stuff like that?
Do i major in accounting or forensics? Is there like a minoring thing I've heard of which i can?
Do I just take a mix of those two interests? Im so confused right now?

You will probably not get a job in your minor field. Here's a sample of quarter-hours for a major vs. minor. Major in engineering - 190-201 credit hours including all pre-requisites and gen-eds. Minor in economics - 25 credit hours, no pre-requisities or gen-eds for anything. Think about your job prospects with only 4-5 classes (minor) vs. all the people who took 2+ years of only their major.
Accounting is a safe option that will be in demand, good earning potential, and decent security in many cases. As the other person said, forensics is kind of fad-dy.

Forensic Science is so popular right now because of all the T.V. shows, so a lot of colleges incorporated them into their colleges just recently, so they aren't going to be that good.
Accounting is a safe career that will always be open.
You major in your favorite field, minor in your secondary favorite field.
If you major in Accounting, you will need to take a couple Accounting classes a semester, but if you minored in it, you would only need about 12 or 15 hours, depending on the school.
