Are minors useless to employers??

We don't call them employees in God's house but minors are always encouraged to get involved.

What skills did you acquire in your minor? Are they useful for the job you are applying to?

That's what you need to be asking yourself. Same for your major for that matter.

Personally, I've never found minors to be helpful in any situation.

I've always found them very, very useful.

Yes, list it, it can help.

That depends how useless your major is, OP.

If your minor applies to the job you're applying for more than your major, then yes, bring it up. I have a minor in education (was considering a double-major, but discovered how much I hated teaching) which helped me get a job in tech training

Unless you're in a very specialized field, most employers don't really care about what degree you have, they just want you to have one. College, for the most part, gives you a broader understanding of the world as a whole, and teaches you to get along with the other boys and girls. I never interview based on a degree or grades, but rather experience and personality and the right fit for the work environment,

I'm pretty sure it depends on the minor, OP, and the field, and the minor in relation to the major and the field and position within that field.

Obviously.

You have a degree?

Bring back beautiful, black coal. I love the smell!

After your first job, no one gives a fuck about your education.

What about my Program?

I think it can be useful, if you have thought ahead. I know people on DL tend to scoff at Philosophy, but, depending on the program, it can give you skills in or knowledge of logic and argumentation. Also, if your minor shows balance (say, Engineering major, Art History minor or vice versatility) that can make you appealing if the job involves creative thinking.

They are quite useful until you get caught.

If applying for your first job right out of college, yes, mention your minor in your resume and application. The prospective employer knows you won't have much if any work experience and this will help convey your overall educational experience. Also note any extracurricular activities (staff writer, project leader, volunteer, etc.).

Unless you’re applying for a job at GOOP or a recreational marijuana dispensary, I can’t imagine a minor in philosophy is going to help you much.

In the modern economy there are lots of jobs that rely on skills that you should have learned or at least became familiar with during your education r8. Not all of course, but it isn't that rare.

But for god's sake, never mention your shady dealings in the used book trade.

[quoteE] Are minors useless to employers??

I hate to tell you pal, but most majors are useless to employers. The number of people working in professions their degrees trained them for is alarmingly small. Outside of scientific and highly technical professions most employers are more interested that a prospective employee had the intelligence and maturity to get a degree. What their field of study was is many times inconsequential.

Not the cute ones.

Not if they want to set a melancholy mood.

Whenever I see a minor listed on an application, I do take a second look. I think this applicant obviously worked extra hard in school.

Def list it, particularly if it could be something that helps the business--computer science, business. Even philosophy

Then again, commercial acting seems quite lucrative. I ran look at the insurance dud with the emu.
