Red pill vs. Blue pill

Hey all,

I'm a sophomore student at a non-target school. I want to get in the business field of things once I graduate. I'm considering to do a double major with the following possibiliies:

  1. econ/math (red)
  2. econ/stat (blue)

Which combination is the better one?

My minor is middle eastern studies.

If I do the econ/stat I can potentially graduate a semester early.

As far as what I want to do, I don't have a clear idea (possibly consulting). I was hoping if someone could give some input about which track to pick. Thanks.

 

Seriously, you are likening your choice between a second major in mathematics or statistics to red pill vs. blue pill? Drop out of school, learn guitar, move to Amsterdam, sleep outside, and take psychedelic drugs. That's the red pill.

Or you could just go ahead and do your second major in whichever department will let you get the most A's, thus boosting your GPA, which is really all that matters anyway.
