Little bit of maths+economics vs accounting major

Hi, I've been trolling these forums for a while now. I previously wanted to pursue a career in auditing but, from what I've read on these forums, a career in trading seems more interesting to me. I'm fairly new to the world of finance so I don't know much yet.

I'm currently a uni student in Australia doing a Bachelor of Commerce. And I'm having a bit of trouble deciding what subjects to do. I have decided that I want to major in finance. And with the remaining subjects I have available, I can decide to do a major in accounting or I can use those subjects to study a mixture of economics and maths but with no majors in them (btw: I don't think we have such things as minors at my uni). Basically, I have 8 spare subjects available. To get a major in accounting I need to study 8 subjects. So I can use those 8 on accounting or a mix of maths and economics.
