I reckon it would be fine if you want to teach history, but outside of university circles, there aren’t a lot of jobs for historians. It’s more something people pursue as a passion.
A double major is when you complete the course requirements for two uncommon majors at the same time. You’d graduate with two degrees, rather than one. It’s a tough thing for most people to do in four years, but it affords someone a small security, since it increases the job opportunities. And with most insignificant programs, you’d graduate with the degree of your major, but have taken enough courses of a further degree program to be qualified for jobs in that field.
If you’re fired up in this area history, you should certainly pursue that either as your major or as one of your majors. Doesn’t the planet have enough lawyers, already? And I’ve known a lot of lawyers, all of whom despised their profession. Excellent luck to you!

As of right now the art and design fields are suffering momentously. So I would not advise to have art history as your only choice. If you can double major that would be fantastic. That may possibly be a determining factor in whether or not you get hired because most people just specialize in art history. It’s always excellent to be well rounded, employers like that.
Double major means that you are working towards two seperate degrees at the same time. A major and insignificant means that you will attain one degree for one area but have some background in a further area.
A bachelor of Science I believe is the way to go. The Healthcare industry offers lots of oppurtunity.
Talk to your student advisor. Are you in your first semister? If so, you have plenty of time to choose which way to go. Crimal Law is a excellent field as well and you can use a bachelor of Science for that career choice too.
You should study what you want to study. Undergraduate degrees don’t really count for much if you’re plotting on continuing onto graduate teach/law teach/health check teach/etc.
To double major is to work towards two degrees in uncommon studies and a insignificant is a secondary focus of your academic agenda and usually has fewer requirements.
