Which Degree Track Should I Choose?

Hey Guys, I needed some help and I thought that there is no better place to ask than here. I currently major in Finance with a minor in Mathematics (with an intention of taking 1-2 addition math courses above the requirement.) My school has two tracks for a finance degree: General vs Risk Management and Insurance. I do plan to go into Sales and trading (mostly trading or structuring). Should I switch to the RIsk Management and Insurance Track or should I continue with general finance? The both offer the same four to five core courses then with general finance I can choose 3 other finance electives while with the Risk Management and Insurance concentration I have to do two risk management courses and two insurance courses. What should I do?
