While the economy being in a recession will make it more difficult to find a job in the short term, it is likely that the economy will recover eventually. Getting a second major may not necessarily guarantee a job, and it may be more beneficial to focus on gaining experience and skills in computer science through internships or personal projects. Additionally, it is possible that the recession may not have a permanent impact on the demand for computer science majors. Therefore, it is better to wait and see how the job market evolves rather than invest in another major without strong evidence of the need for it.
