RATE MY MAJOR/MINOR FOR FINANCE

I graduate high school this year and I was thinking of pursuing an Economics major and a double minor in Psychology and Environmental Science/Agriculture in college. 

The reasoning behind it is that both the minors are interesting to me (at least right now) and are relatively easy to complete. I understand that college is college and nothing is really easy but I feel that my double minor combo is like a hard minor. 

Also, I think they are somewhat relevant to finance, since trading is a lot of psychology and I want to work in Agro PE/VC long-term. 

I don't know though, what do you guys think as someone currently in the industry?
