I am currently a freshman at a semi-target trying to decide what I should declare as my second major. I am trying to decide between accounting and business analytics. My first major is finance. I enjoy both and believe that my grades would be pretty equal in either major. So which one do I choose? Accounting seems smart, but analytics is the next big thing. Would business analytics be helpful at all in IB?
Thanks

I got my degree in Accounting (so my response is bias)
I have worked as an accountant as well. I know financial analyst roles recruiters contact me because of my accounting background. basically to be in finance - companies like people with accounting background in general.
I was a finance major first, but i switched over to accounting. it gave me more value and it was more challenging IMO.
as for business analytics? eh, those technical tools you can learn on your own.
