Finance/economics with business minor - where to apply

Hi

I'm currently doing a Bachelor's degree in Finance and economics with a business minor (currently in second year, expecting a first class honors in finance and economics and an upper second class in business).

Anyway, I wonder if minoring in business was a good choice? I mean, it seemed good at the time - you get a combination of finance and economics and you'll have an understanding of business as well (and I feel I have).

Will it be hard to get admitted to a Master's degree with this combination? Where would you suggest I go from here? Where might I have a chance at getting admitted? I could see myself working in a lot of areas, but where would I have the best shot at getting a job later? I understand no-one can be 100 % sure, I just want to know your thoughts on this combination

My degree is 2/3 Finance and economics and 1/3 business

Thank you in advance (sorry about any grammatical errors - I'm quite tired right now)

Why wouldn't a Bachelor's degree in Finance and Econ by a good choice? It's the most logical choice if you plan on a career in something finance-related. And from what I've experienced, most firms don't really care about your minor.

As with everything else, your competitiveness for admission to a Master's program depends on lots of factors. How is your GPA? Do you go to a target school? Extracurriculars? You're not giving us much information to work with besides your major and minor. It's hard to evaluate your competitiveness for admissions, internships, etc. without any more information.
