Majors for pre-med?

I know that you can major in anything and still take the pre-med reqs, but are there certain majors that make more difficult in terms of fitting in both requirements for the major and the pre-med track?

I’ve been thinking of doing a Econ/Math major, while taking the pre-med course reqs. However, none of the courses line up in both, so would that mean I would have to fit in a ton of electives just in order to be pre-med? I also understand that majoring in either Chemistry or Biology lines up almost directly with the pre-med courses, but I just can’t see myself excelling in either. In addition, if I decide that med school isn’t for me, I’d be stuck with a degree that in the real world doesn’t open too many career doors.
