Default Who would you hire in this situation?

Okay, what if you had two candidates with the same GPA and the same (minimal) work experiences. These two candidates are very young, right out of college.

The two schools rank about the same place in this example and they both got a BA.

Would you hire the Communications major with a journalism/fine arts double minor or the Journalism major with the communications/fine arts double minor?

Helppp. please, I have no clue what to set my degree in.. >_<

I'd hire the journalism major. I know what journalism is, but have yet to figure out what the hell communications is,

Depends on what the job is. I personally don't like hiring people with degrees for leadership roles because they tend to lack real world experience which is what really counts.

I wouldn't hire either one, I'd hire a business major.

Obviously it would depend on your ideal job; however, I'd say Communications major with a journalism/fine arts minor.
