A double major isn't a waste of time by any reasonable
definition. I think having a major in math can be useful in
understanding some types of inventions even if it doesn't help
attract a job offer.

There is no such thing as too much eduation, and a double major
can be completed in 4 years if doing so is a priority. I
completed a double major in EE and physics. If you get some AP
or other credit for a few courses, it really isn't all that
difficult to do.

Certainly those are the most significantly considered factors.
