According to the University of Washington, "Minors will not necessarily make you more attractive to graduate or professional programs or employers. For example, if you want to go into management, but you have always been interested in music, a major in business and a minor in music will satisfy your personal desire to learn more about music and perhaps teach music lessons on the side.
Double-minoring allows you to explore two areas that interest you personally or that you think you may want to specialize in during graduate school. Since most graduate school students pick a specialty, a double-minor will help you on your way to choosing that specialty.
Finally, double minoring can help you professionally, if you think you will be applying for jobs outside of your major area. For example, a major in political science with a double minor in business and accounting can help you get a fallback job. Anything is possible, provided that you are willing to put in the time.
I still ended up with a double major and three or four minors. You can acomplish anything so long as there is pleasure to be found in it. Best of luck to you. Honestly, the only reason to minor in something is if you are truly interested in the topic. In that case, go ahead. Why do you want to have two minors, anyway? Were the requirements for those minors hard to accomplish? Most people I talk to tell me a double-major is already more than most people can accomplish. Of course it is, but it means you will have take courses in your chosen major and minors and very little else.
Minors are often not really worth the effort. Honestly, in the real world, people care about what you majored in. I have yet to see much of anyone interested in my minor in English. Other than that, its almost not worth the time. Not because they help my degree they do but because I love the classes.
It looks slightly better. Students have the option of choosing a minor that relates to their chosen career paths or picking a field of study that interests them and exists outside their field of study.
A major is the field of study that you select and agree to spend much of your time in college working in or on. Majors might include history, psychology or business. A minor is completely separate from your major.
While you might take 30 credit hours or more of courses relating to your major, you can usually fulfill you minor requirement after taking just three or four classes, and some of those classes may be required for graduation. A minor may or may not have some connection to your major. Jessica Rogness of The Daily Californian , recommends that you select a minor that relates to your future career and a topic you feel passionate about. Good luck Bahara.

I think when it comes to major and minor selection, students should look into what he or she enjoy the most. I, too, was a double major with a minor. My selection was based on what I enjoyed and how the major and minor subjects complement each other. For instance, research the minor that you are interested in by going to the subject department.
If there is a teacher who teaches the subject, ask information about it. Majors and minors help in the job market, but developing the skills that are being taught in the classroom should be highlighted.
My minor was philosophy and at first, one may think what does that have to do with psychology. If you look in a little deeper, philosophy helps in thinking outside of the box and critical thinking.
