What minor or double major would you pick for a bs in aerospace engineering?

"AES students are also encouraged to consider a technical minor or double major in electrical engineering, computer science, applied math, engineering physics, astrophysical and planetary sciences, or atmospheric and oceanic sciences."

-CU Boulder Aerospace engineering requirements page

I'd like to know what subject area you would find most useful paired with aerospace in the job market.

I wouldn't double major in anything. It is a waste of time. You are better off getting really good at aerospace enigneering than getting kind of good at several things.

would you recommend a minor at all?

Honestly, minors very, very rarely help you. Unless you are looking into jobs that require very specific competencies that can be enhanced by a minor, most people just aren't going to care.
