I'm freakng out. Please help!

Hey guys,

So i'm an upcoming sophomore in college and i'm currently in the process of deciding what courses i'll be taking next semester. Sadly, I'm not really sure what double major combination I will do. I am currently a math major and I wanted to add either computer science or economics. Which one is better? I also hear from many people that econ/CS is a great combo. is this true? If so, is it worth changing my major(s) to those two? I'm not 100% sure what I want to do yet, so I wanted a combination that gives me the most opportunity/wiggle room.

Thanks

p.s. I truly love all three of these subjects, so I would be happy In whatever double major.

I would also go math/econ since it leaves you the option to pursue a Ph.D. You can always register for a C++ certificate from quant net or python course on Coursera or Datacamp. Most important thing about CS is Algorithm & data structures & databases.I know that because I enrolled in a CS program out of curiosity. Also I suggest you don't take that much of a math heavy load and just try to fulfill Ph.D requirements.

EDIT: Take a lot of statistics & probability related classes as well.

Consumption smoothing is retarded. If you stay in this game for a handful of years, money will be the least of your worries. Live it up, because this is the one time in your life where you might actually have time to spare.
