Business Management coupled with Economics or Finance?

I'm currently a Business Administration/Management major at a decent school (avg. acceptance gpa probably around 3.4) and I'm considering doing a second major. I already have 30 credits from high school and I'm taking 5 of my B.A./B.M. track classes this semester already. I thought of doing three majors but I've read that doing so only makes employers consider you less because they see your majors as interests rather than specializations.

Which has a more viable future in terms of employment: Economics or Finance?


I'm not sure where I see myself in five years, but hopefully making decent money at a job I'm happy with. I'm interested in Finance because I'm interested in how a given amount money can be turned into an exponentially larger sum, but I'm also interested in Economics as I'm kind of a theoretical kind of person and I just find it all interesting. If it helps I don't see myself wanting to work long 10-15hr days after I graduate but at the same time if I really get interested in something time flies like nothing.

I was even thinking of switching over to Economics/Finance but I'm really at a confusing crossroads right now.

I'm a pretty decently intelligent person, I scored 2190 on the SATs but my lack of motivation led to me having a 3.0gpa junior year in high school.

Thanks in advance for any insight; don't be afraid to criticize.
