    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.
