<p>I'm currently a freshman at a T35 University and participating in Navy ROTC. After I graduate, I'll serve, at the very minimum, 5 years active duty in the Navy but am more likely to serve 8 or more because I want to be a Naval Aviator (that requires more training, thus more required service). After I fulfill my service, I'm thinking about possibly going to business school, and later working in finance and/or starting my own company (I know this is a long way down the road)</p>
<p>The Navy places a high emphasis on quantitative pursuits and I received a scholarship because I declared major in Math/Statistics.</p>
<p>However, my main interest is international affairs, politics, and economics. I have quite alot of validated classes and could fairly easily double major. My concern is whether I should double my Math/Stats major with Financial Econ, Econ, IR, or Polisci. Polisci/IR is easier and I think I could get a 4.0 in the major (I got an A in a junior/senior class last semester) but I'm worried if I majored in IR/Polisci then I'd lose much hope of working in finance/business. Econ is harder and I'm a little worried my grades in upper level Econ classes will hurt my GPA and disqualify me from top grad programs.</p>
<p>My question is, since I won't be applying to graduate schools for at least 5 years after graduating, does my major really matter? Will the T10 business programs care if I got a 3.95-4.0 with IR/stats as compared to a 3.7 with FinEcon/Stats? Will an IR major hurt my employment chances coming out of the Navy?</p>
