Should I be worried too much about what courses to take?

Hi

I'm starting junior year this semester. Upto now, I've just been taking random classes and getting humanities/science reqs out of the way, so only my major courses are left.

I'll be majoring in math, with a concentration in either stats or econ. I only have 4 semesters left so the number of classes I can take is quite limited.

So far, my choice of courses are
ODE, PDE, two courses of algebra, financial accounting, econometrics, stochastic calculus, financial engineering, and some programming courses.

Should I be too concerned about what courses to take? If I need to know certain things for a job, is it more likely that I'll be teaching myself along or am I expected to have taken a related course in college?

Thank you

Iure praesentium ex ea quisquam labore vel. Autem rerum voluptates a est fugiat. Consectetur consectetur non dolorem quisquam nulla amet quibusdam fugit. Beatae magni et sequi quisquam ut. Delectus et aperiam voluptatibus. Et expedita ullam ipsam.

Quia quis commodi sit sunt eos est. Sit inventore consequatur quas quasi doloremque ratione. Omnis qui deleniti possimus quidem ea corrupti. Atque et reprehenderit voluptas dolores deserunt accusamus recusandae. Earum sint non tempore sint.
