Economics vs Finance Major?

[System]

Right now, I'm still deciding between majoring in economics or finance. What are the positives and negatives for both? I'm definitely doing an accounting major, but I want to know if one of them complements with accounting more?

[Planck's constant]

I believe that Finance complements Accounting better

Finance definitely.

Although if you do choose economics - then you'd probably the 2nd person ever (after me ^.^) to double in these 2 majors.

I would recommend Finance simply because the pre-requisite subjects required for Accounting are usually also required for Finance - as such you find most Commerce students tack on the Finance major. Also, the things you do in the Accounting profession (especially if you do choose to go into the big 4 or become an auditor) - will require quite a bit of knowledge in the Financial World.

finance

dont forget you can also do economic subjects as part of your finance major so you aint missing out on much on economics + electives as well

finance compliments accounting better, but what do you want to do when you graduate? because i know that people at places like dfat and quite a few banks prefer economics over finance, but if you want to do something like s&t then finance definitely.
