Major/Minor for IB

Hey guys, I'm a Freshman at a non-target university in the US right now and want to start working as an Investment Banker after I graduate. I'm currently doing a joint major in Economics and Maths and need some help in deciding in a minor. I am debating between Data Science, Finance and Accounting as three potential options. Finance seems the most interesting to me in terms of the classes I will take and that the things I will learn will actually be helpful to me in terms of IB. But Data Science seems like the future and so  I am not too sure what to do. I feel like I would get a higher GPA with the Finance minor cause I will actually be interested and motivated by the classes I take but I don't know if that's the right move. What do you guys think about this situation?
