Quick answers
Can a minor help me get a job?
It can strengthen your case for roles that use its skills, but it does not guarantee an offer. Employers also look at projects, internships, and experience.
Will a minor delay my graduation?
It can, if it adds courses that do not overlap with your major or electives. Checking overlap and your remaining semesters before you commit is the safest way to know.

Start from the roles you are curious about, then see which minors build those skills. Compare two options before you decide.
