Carl Icahn was a philosophy major, his career prospect turned out great.

CS is more practical, gets you a job as a programmer if you end up not wanting to do Wall St. Applied math makes you think but it's not applicable to real life, but I know plenty of math majors who do well in their fields.

Finance, you can learn it on your own, guess doesn't hurt to minor in it if you need guidance on some basic set of finance course to take.
