Has anyone here majored in STEM and minored in English? Has it done you any favors or does it just take up space on your resume?
Yes. All my source code comments are in perfect iambic pentameter.

I had a friend that did Math/English double major and he emerged pretty happy with it but he said he wish he had done math/philosophy instead

majoring in english is the best meme, don't waste your time
I did a double major like >>9114465
I wanted to prove to myself that both ways of thinking can benefit each other, but all I learned was that STEM students can't think.
I did.
Can't say it's done anything for me professionally, even though I don't think my stem degree has either.
It definitely broadened my horizons in lit from a personal standpoint, but no otherwise.

funnily enough my friend said the exact oppositewho to trust

lmao
I majored in Engineering and minored in Spanish, but mostly because I wanted to apply to med school. My minor was pretty useless and they mostly taught me about how impoverished LatinAmerican countries are and tried to make me a cuck (luckily I'm not a humanitiesfag and saw through the bullshit).
I do read a lot of philosophy and I feel as if it helps train my mind to be better at general problem solving and improves its ability to infer information from text.

There's all kinds of people both in stem and humanities. The only ones you shouldn't trust are edgy dismissive retards.
I'm in STEM with a minor in philosophy, usually people ask about it in interviews and I tell them I like reading and talk a bit about some books I like and it makes them think I'm smartI am not.

>paying money to learn languages in an academic setting, the worst possible place to learn them
How does it feel that you spent thousands of dollars on something that would be better learnt with a couple hundred in rosetta stones and spending time in spanish speaking areas? Were you just uninterested in academia and trying to fill your resume with things you thought sounded useful?

Lots of assumptions there, friend. I already knew Spanish and wanted an easy minor to help boost my GPA and make my resume more attractive. There were only one class I had to go out of my way to take, and the rest occupied humanities slots I had to fill to get my engineering degree.

you've been baited hard

Now this, this is a solid post befitting of lit.
I have. But I didn't minor in English.
