Current Undergrad Trying to Decide between Econ or Finance

Okay, so I'm a sophomore and I soon have to declare a major. I go to a state school that mostly concentrates on the finance, accounting, and SCM majors and am afraid of majoring in Econ and not have job offers when I get out. Do you guys think that it would be a smart move to do Econ and undergrad and move into a MS in Finance at a program like Vandy? My school also allows us to take an extra 12 hours in a major of our choosing in which case I would take 12 credit hours in finance and use all my electives in finance as well
