Accounting vs. Economics vs. Mathematics Undergraduate

<p>I am dead set on doing a double major, I just have been lost on which combination would be best for me. Which of these three majors would be most beneficial. I understand that accounting degrees are most stable, but I'm looking in the long run. My goals are to earn the most money I can, but not be bored with what I do. I'm thinking of Econ/Math double major since I know the econ grad requires lots of math, but I'm not 100% sure because there is so many options. Should I even try to include Finance? Should I do Econ and accounting? What is best in the long term in making a nice salary?</p>

<p>I would do Accounting + Computer Science/Computer Engineering</p>

<p>Does anyone know of some decent schools in the midwest for these undergraduate programs? I live in Nebraska and school are very limited here when it comes to good schools.</p>

<p>Do you really believe there is a specific combination that we can tell you that will guarantee these things you want? Take some classes and find out what you enjoy.</p>

<p>If you are not at a college yet, find a program in Mathematical Economics. It will give you the most challenging curriculum in both categories.</p>

<p>Econ + math if you have plans to go to grad school.
IMO, this is the only combination that makes sense.</p>

<p>Yea econ/math is a pretty popular combination that looks good for a lot of jobs.</p>

<p>I’ve heard of Economics/Mathematics majors making it into the I-Banking world if you are interested in that. I’d say lean more towards Accounting due to stability and more business skills which is very helpful and useful for employers and a big advantage for economic recession like now. Accounting can still allow your career to open up and branch out, so don’t let your degree simply dictate the future of your career because you may have an accounting degree, but not work as one your entire life.</p>
