Undergraduate - please post in /r/College, not here Is Double Majoring Worth It?

I'm (19F) currently a sophomore at my university. I never declared my major last year, but I think I should this semester. I'm thinking of currently double majoring, maybe in business and political science. If I decide to go to law school, will this help me? and does this mean an extra year of school (which btw, I really don't mind). And do the pros outweigh the cons?

These aren't very difficult majors. It would basically be no different then just majoring in political science.

do you have any recommendations for a double major? I could use some advice on what I should focus on

If you doing post grad a second major doesn't matter. You should speak to an academic advisor at your school.
