Second Major?

I know that majors don't matter all that much if you are knowledgeable. With that said, however, considering I am majoring in Finance what second major would help build a more useful skill set (It probably differs depending on what job a person wants to pursue after wards but please explain in what ways). Econ? Accounting? Something outside of business?

Thanks

If anything major in finance as your second major. Accounting really helps with understanding financial statements and if you can't land a FT gig you can always fall back on accounting.

 

Econ's not bad either. Especially if you get into econometrics and the real statistical stuff. You can do a lot with an economics degree
