What do I double major in?

Hello WSOers, I'm a freshman at a non-target school and I'm looking to be able to bolster my resume as much as possible so that I still have a fighting chance when applying for internships/jobs at IBs. I figured a good way of doing that would be to double major. My question is, first of all, is it worth it to take on the concurrent degree? and if so, what should it be? I have heard econ, global politics, and accounting as the main suggestions

Finance and Economics or Math. IB is ridiculously difficult. You need to know Finance, Accounting, Economics, Math, and Computer Science. If you have a passion for it, go for it. :)
