How about doing something you might enjoy? If you are good enough in any field of commerce, earnings shouldn't be an issue.

Do accounting with finance or economics if you want a double major - you can't do a double major with actuarial studies due to accreditation subject requirements. I think a double major with Accounting and Finance is the most common.

You can do certain double degrees in BComm, like Accounting/Finance.

My mistake, I didn't read carefully. I assumed he was talking about majors since OP is talking about second major.

you can't do actuarial and finance together, however one of my friends recently completed a finance phd and is now beginning actuarial studies while working etc. will take pretty long but is worth it.
