Should i major in computer science or finance?

I was wondering if i should major in information systems/computer science or finance. I enjoy taking both computer and business courses but i'm not sure what to major in. I'm transferring to a university in Fall 2010 and i picked information systems but i can still change it to finance if i want. I'll graduate in about 2 years after the fall 2010 semester so i was wondering out of those two majors, which will be well paying and not hard to find? Thanks.

I had the same situation years ago. Well it depends I guess, how do you enjoy the business courses and how much do you enjoy the IT courses, there should be one you like more. I choose IT and really loved it. Finance will get you more job opportunities but I find that IT being more specialize will fetch you a higher pay after a few years. Choose either IT or Finance I will advice against Information Systems because you should be learning applying IT stuff in the business world and that is easy to learn on the job. This will get you no where I can't say about the finance side but in IT world you just made it harder to get a job because you don't have the technical skills needed to perform technical duties as compared to those who graduated with IT or Computer Sciences degree.
