Does a quirky major look attractive?

I can choose between Mathematical Economics and B.S Economics. I'm wondering whether the math part of the major will help me stand out. The math department at our school is kinda shitty that's why I'm considering if a quirky major is going to be worth it. P.S Not gonna foce myself obviously into math obviously. I don't love math but I do like it

Study what you enjoy and what you can get a higher GPA in. Sure Mathematical Econ might look more impressive, but major really doesn’t matter for banking. Do whatever is less stress and enjoy college.
