So I'm in my last term of school and have accepted a job at a financial group starting May 1st. I'm considering dropping a few courses in order to prepare for a relocation and spend more time studying for the CFA. By doing this, my program changes from Mathematical Economics to just Economics. My question is this: will this have any implications on my employment? I should note that the official offer letter did not have any contingencies, so I don't believe they will be verifying my program or even proof of degree. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

The CFA doesn't require THAT much sacrifice on your part. Assuming you're going into a field where the CFA is valued, it is very likely that the hours are relatively relaxed too. That being said, changing your degree might have adverse consequences. Your firm hired you based on your MathEcon degree, maybe assuming that your program was more quantitative. The offer letter may not have stipulated anything, but this shit would definitely pop up if they are conducting a background check (which I think the FINRA/FCA would certainly require of firms).
