Will a dual degree in ME and Applied Math hurt me
(OP)
I am about to graduate with separate BS degrees in Mech Eng and Math and I was wondering whether listing both degrees on my resume would help or hurt my chances of landing a job? I had originally planned on going to grad school so I decided to pursue both degrees for a better math background. I've since decided against it for the time being. Any meaningful advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Anecdotally there are Wall St jobs that combine both, of course.

About the only situation I can see it may be a problem is somewhere that there is some reverse snobbery against more educated folks. However, like rb1957 says it's not like you've got 2 PhD's or even Masters.
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?

Spot on....go where the money is.
However, sanders should consider also geography and business cycles.
I have known chemical engineers that studied and excelled in petrochem engineering, needed the money, but wouldn't consider a move to Texas or Louisiana.
Math & Engineering Mechanics leads you (IMHO) to California, Arizona, perhaps Boston ?
I also once met a guy who who had found his dream job doing advanced airframe design for Northrup. Then the business cycle changed.......
Have you considered teaching ?
