MS Computer Science vs MS Finance

I'm currently at a target school, and I am interested in going into IB. As it currently stands, I have two option. In both options I can get a MS within the four years I am here in college.

Option 1: Double major in Econ and CS and get a MSF and then go into IB.

Option 2: Double major in Econ and CS and get a MS CS and then go into IB.

The reason I am considering the MS CS is because it could help me in the further. I'm not sure in what way, but I think it would be useful. Plus, it could potentially give me more flexibility in the future regarding what industry I continue to work in.

The MSF program would be equally good.

Any advice is appreciated!
