I don’t know exactly what I want to do with my life, but I know I want something to do with numbers. But numbers can be used scientifically, or used in business. I was just curious, how difficult is it for a Physics or Math major to obtain a job in business? All businesses have quantitative analysts, and Physics/Math majors can do that. But at the same time, I might not necessarily take the traditional “business” courses, I would just be able to do the math.

My ultimate plan might be double majoring in physics and math, and specializing in economics with the math major. Does that seem a valid option in order to have a broad degree?

Any ideas or opinions?
