Most Useful Skillset for Finance

I wanted to know what skillset is best going to compliment skills in finance in the near future. I hear that CompSci is all the rage now because of automation. If I were to double major or choose I minor, would a double major in Finance and CompSci be helpful in the future for finance jobs? Or is a finance major alone okay? I know that companies like multitalented individuals with a solid STEM background.

you’ll be fine with any major minor as long as you have a big dick and major balls young man

 

Yeah that makes sense, Isaac Asimov said that the only jobs left for humans will be to help maintain automation. What is the best college path for this? A double major in finance and CompSci?

Well I'm not 100% sure yet but I most likely want to do M&A out of college. Do you have a rundown of what skillsets are most important in some common finance roles?
