Yes, I agree with you there, but I thought you meant that even if the “more challenging” major did not coincide with your target career, you would still give it extra points in your consideration because it was more challenging. For example, if one wanted to go into the Finance industry, and he/she was also going to a university with a top business school, it would be silly to major in engineering or physics just because they are more “challenging,” when the person’s goal is finance and the top business school will give him an equal chance as engineering/physics. But if i am understanding you correctly now, your career goals coincide with both economics and engineering, and you are concerned about employers’ perception of the challenge of each major, and not its challenge to you personally. I completely agree with that.

The moment you start to feel an unworthy pursuit challenges you, i.e., you focus on difficulty instead of contribution and accomplishment, is the moment you know something isn’t right.

One of humanity’s most foolish statements.
