<p>Just wondering if this is a good major if im interested in business and math, as far as getting a good salary out of college. Going to BC if that matters</p>
<p>What about the two do you like? While finance and economics has math in it I wouldn’t call them courses in math, though finance would be more math than economics. There are a lot of majors that combine math with business, it’s just what interests you about business and why do you like about math that would determine your path.</p>
<p>Having a math background may potentially make you more attractive to some quant heavy finance jobs, but you won’t get a higher starting salary. I wouldn’t dissuade you from doing it, but there are certainly easier ways to set yourself apart from other students. If you enjoy math, then take some extra math classes and go from there.</p>
<p>Hey soccersam,</p>
<p>I’m actually a current BC student that is double majoring in Finance and Math right now. My friend is doing a Finance major with a minor in Math. If you’re moderately interested in Math and want to take more practical math classes, I’d definitely recommend doing the major/minor combination. I would have to warn you about the math classes though. The teachers are sometimes a crapshoot and you’ll be working a lot harder than your CSOM classmates. PM me if you have any more questions.</p>
<p>Finance and Math are somewhat similar. You want to show that you are a well-rounded person other than in mathematics/business field. It is best to choose another minor. </p>
<p>For instance, my major is Accounting but my minors are I/O Psychology, Law and Communication. (My school doesn’t allow business majors to dual major so I have no other choose than to have multiple minors.)</p>
<p>Some employers might want to see you are “well rounded” by minoring in something different, but on the other hand, some business employers might want to see that you are directed and focused, and therefore have chosen a minor field that relates to and will supplement your major and is in line with your desired career path.</p>
<p>Yes, you want to choose a minor that complements your major and skills.</p>
