Looking for opinions on this path(psych,business,cognitive science.)

My current path is psych ba with business minor. At this rate will graduate january 2022 if this is all i do. Choose psych bc i had a solid background in it already, chose business because im set to inherit a business from a family member in the future but honestly dont want that to be the only thing i do and i want to create my own path outside of that and retain a little involvement in that business when im older.

Ive been trying to diversify my skill set so ive begun learning coding/web development the past few months too (self-taught) bc im interested in it . Almost went for BS CS but the CS degree is set up so that it’s impossible to graduate without adding 3 years more on which i cant afford. Is it worth double minoring in business and cognitive science ? I love tech and working with others to solve problems. If i made the switch to double minoring, i already would have 9/18 of the requirements if i started working towards cognitive science minor next semester. I’d push my graduation date back a semester or maybe 2 max which i think i can afford. Cognitive science minor seems like it might be the best way to combine psych with the computer knowledge im interested in learning. Id need to take intro to cs, an upper level psychology&language course(which also counts towards psych major) & and an upper level philosophy course to achieve that. What do you think? I would appreciate anyones thoughts on this.

I’m dedicated to taking alot of time on my own self teaching computer science-like concepts to gain more knowledge in related areas. Regardless of double minoring or not, I still plan to work towards certifications in certain computer skills like different languages such as python java css, web and app development, etc.

I am considering depending on where i end up in a few years continuing education in something related to human-computer interaction when i am more financially stable and gain more professional experience + work on tech projects in my free time to experiment.and build a tech portfolio despite not having a degree in tech.
