Would an econ BA hamper my chances at ER?

Doing a BA in economics, not enjoying it or learning anything useful/technical. If I switched to fin/business, I would have to stay at school for around 2 more years. But I have learned applicable topics like accounting, industry research, and modeling through past internships.

I am thinking about switching to math, thoughts?

Also, how late in the game am I to summer 2025 recruiting?

I was a Econ Major who just graduated this month and got into ER; It is very easy if you were in your school's SMIF to demonstrate interest;

as to "Also, how late in the game am I to summer 2025 recruiting?" you're cooked.
