to major or not to major?

Donna Jo is attempting to convince me to upgrade my linguistics minor to a major. She isn't singling me out, mind, but her conviction that everyone should major in linguistics is such that she contacted each of the senior ling minors individually to tell us what we would each have to do in order to switch to being a major. In my case, since I'm already writing a thesis in psycholinguistics, all I would have to do is take Structure of Tuvan in the spring and sign up for the senior seminar (fall and spring, if I'm not mistaken). It's even remotely possible that they wouldn't make me take Structure of Tuvan since I've taken three years worth of Japanese--the requirement is that you have to take a class on the structure of a non-Indo-European language, or else speak a non-Indo-European language--but I'd have to check on that.

I admit, the idea of getting an extra major for not very much extra work is quite tempting. I have to ask myself, though, what I would get out of it. Would having a linguistics major rather than a minor be useful to me after I graduate? I'm not really sure. My feeling at the moment is that any career I wind up persuing will be one where what I majored in doesn't particularly matter. Isn't that the idea behind a liberal arts education anyway? Is "because I can" a good enough reason to add a second major? Are there any advantages that I'm overlooking?

I admit, at the moment my biggest hang-up is the fact that the senior seminar is on Friday afternoon, which is the same time as Drum & Dance Ensemble, which I'd been planning on trying out. So on the one hand I have a major in linguistics, while on the other hand I have three more hours* of taiko every week.

Meh.

*Probably not three hours, actually, given that the class also includes African drumming and dance. I'm not really sure how the division of time works.
