Hey guys
I just want an insight in accounting, economics and marketing as I am deciding between them.
I have already decided on choosing finance as one of my majors but im not sure which other subject should I major in
I really don't like Balance day adjustments in accounting,haha

Please give me some suggestions and the types of work that will be presented in each subject
thanks

Best job prospects: Accounting
Most interesting (subjectively): Economics
For da lolz: Marketing

Obviously the 2nd and 3rd points are my opinion. I can't stand essays for dayz.

Most employable: accounting
Most useful in the real world: economics

Accounting/finance is by far the most popular dbl major (those kids are everywhere); simply because it opens up the most employment opportunities.

Eco/finance is a (distant) second; mostly taken up by the more ambitious kids (who are looking at IB, MC or the JD program).

Definitely agree the above posts.

Would it be a bad idea to major in Economics and Accounting?

You'd be the only other person (other than me) to do that. It'll be "interesting", but be aware that they are at the opposite end of the Commerce spectrum.
