International Business/Economics/German major choices?

Hello all,

I am currently a freshman in college and I am trying to get a general game plan. As of right now I want to have a career with a international aspect, and preferably something to do with economics, like an Economist. Only, I am not sure what majors and minors I should proceed with.

I know for sure I want to major in german. But I don’t know what to also major in. International business is great and all but i don’t believe it will provide me with enough technical knowledge. Right now my “supposed” game plan would to be to double major in German and International Business in undergraduate school with taking some econ electives, and then get a PhD in economics later in grad school?

Give me your thoughts and concerns on this, thanks!
