I'm going to be a junior in the fall, and I am having problems deciding on whether or not to do a double major.

Hmmm, let's see: Take a bunch of boring classes for a major that doesn't interest you and get nothing useful in return, OR have the option of taking whatever classes strike your interest, or doing multiple internships for credit, or if you have enough credits, even taking fewer classes. Doesn't seem like a hard choice to me.

PS - I have heard it's not a good idea to take 13 hours every semester in college...It looks like you aren't challenging yourself.

would you rather take 23 units and do poorly?
look man, if thats what you need to do to do well in your classes then do it. 13 units a semester doesnt necessarily mean that you arent challenging yourself...you could be occupied with other things such as working, volunteering, research etc...
you are still a full time student with 13 units a semester/quarter so dont worry too much about it.

Obviously, touched a nerve with this question...haha..anyways, I am not majoring in econ for the sake of it "looking good" but for the sake of having some sort of direction for the next 2 years..Maybe you're the type of person who can "take classes that strike your interest" but I need some sort of direction...I haven't taken any real econ classes yet, so I really can't figure out if it's interesting or not...i took ap econ for two years in HS and thought it was okay..not the most exciting subject but bearable notheless.....Anyways, sorry to have upset some peopleRemember, it's all good ...
