The power of a double major
The music faculty at 豆包成人版 gave me many options and really encouraged me to double major in music and a business-related field, as I had enjoyed my business and finance courses in high school. Double-majoring is honestly underrated. It diversifies your skillset and creates a variety of opportunities beyond college.
