<p>I am utterly lost. Should I double major? Does it even matter? I am still a child (17 more or less a child). I am a math buff, well at least I like math. But, I love business. I've done PFEW program and JA company program, and I loved it. In both programs I was in the finance department. I like finance, its chill.
But, I am worried about job secruity and salary. Also, I've heard that getting MBA in 5 years isn't as useful as it sounds because the lack of job experience (clarification?) So I thought a double major would be safer for employment and possibly increase starting salary (even by a little, every cent counts). </p>
<p>These are the double majors I've heard that are good combos:
Finance + Statistics
Finance + Computer Science
Finance + Engineering (?)
Economics + Statistics
Economics + Computer Science</p>
<p>Opinions on those combinations?
Which one would give me the most job secruity for the future?
Which one would give me the highest salary?
Which one is the most versatile?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about which combination will ‘give you’ the highest salary. Several factors are implicitly included, such as which institution’s name is on your undergraduate diploma. </p>
<p>Since you’re still in high school, I am pretty sure, at least at my university, that the introductory courses for Economics and Finance are the same courses; Introduction to Economics, Microeconomics, and Macroeconomics are all required to focus on either major, so you have quite a few more years to worry about specifying one and not the other.</p>
<p>However, out of the combinations that you’ve outlined, I would imagine that Finance/Economics and Computer Science is the most lucrative, most versatile, and safest combination, simply because financial institutions are seemingly always looking for those interested in technology.</p>
<p>For your MBA, I would not worry about that just yet, especially because you’re only 17. In many instances, if you establish a good relationship with your firm, it may subsidize the tuition for your MBA program.</p>
<p>thank you very much</p>
