How is pursuing a double major in Finance and Economics?
I know that there are many threads on yahoo answers and college confidential concerning whether to double major in Finance/Accounting, Accounting/Math, etc; however, this pertains to a specific issue.
I am pretty set on doing Finance unless something catastrophic occurs but how about my idea of Economics? If I were to do Economics, I would definitely be choosing the Bachelor of Science side, and at my school the Bachelor of Science requires a few math courses: Calculus I, II, and III; Mathematical Statistics I and II, and a few required Math electives which are probably going to be Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Mathematical Reasoning/Proof, and Intro to Combinatorics.
I know that some might ask, "why not just get the second degree in mathematics?" but will a degree in pure mathematics really help me in economics and finance? I mean, the BS in Econ would be just as quantitative, I think. Plus, Mathematics majors do not have to take Mathematical Statistics I, II and I would actually like to become an actuary so the statistics part would be extremely helpful, also the Combinatorics. Or perhaps, I might go to graduate school first and get a MS in Statistics. In any case, I don't think just Finance will get me where I want to go because my school's Finance program is not filled with Math based classes other than Business Analysis I and II (Business Calculus). So what would you guys recommend?
Many thanks in advance! By the way, any kind of insight on the matter presented would be greatly appreciated.
Emily--Yes maám. Yesterday, I consulted with them about it, and they said yes.
Rob-- Not that I am down putting your comment, but I am not a high school senior. I'm actually in college right now and already have most of the electives and general education part of college down packed, along with a study abroad experience to Germany. I am definitely willing to continue the hard work.
Rob-- I've also completed a few of the classes already. You make it seem as if it's impossible. With much determination, a steadfast and indomitable spirit, careful planning with one's advisor, and the desire to excel, it is definitely possible to double major. I'm not saying it's easy, but it is definitely possible. Moreover, you do not know me. I assure you that I'm quite the competitor.
Lastly, while I do appreciate your input, discouragement is not really what I would call as insight.

The Lippo Centre is hardly Hong Kong's tallest office complex, but it's one of the most distinctive ones. Originally completed in 1988 as Bond Centre, named after one-time Australian tycoon Alan Bond, who was later convicted of fraud and went bankrupt.
The buildings, completed in 1988, were dubbed "The Koala Tree" because they resemble koalas clutching a tree. No. 89, Queensway, Admiralty.
The golden building is the Far East Finance Centre at No. 16, Harcourt Road. It's just a glass-and-concrete box, but its golden exterior stands out nevertheless.
