I'm doing a 4yr combined degree -- my majors are sociology, history, and information systems. I've already been experiencing some doubt as to whether it's a good idea to do two arts major pretty much unrelated to my computer major, but too late to change now. However, I also want to do honours, and I've been thinking whether I should it in history or information systems (IS). Would it be a better career path to focus on IS?, or should I follow my passion and do history honours?

If it helps, I'm an Australian university student and am uncertain of my future career, but I'll probably work somewhere in IT. Ideally, I'd love to work in history but have no idea how to -- being able to get a job is a great concern for my family. (link)
you should stick with IS. information systems are probably more important than history and sociology, unless you plan on becoming a historian or something..but, that doesnt mean you cant take some additional history classes as electives or during the summer. college is a great time to take classes that appeal to you as well as the necessary classes to earn your degree. hope i helped..(im not in college yet..lol)

Well, becoming a historian would be great, but I'm not sure of the feasibility of that idea. =) Thanks for your answer.
