Should I major in Economics?

Recently I started a new trimester at my school (like 3 semesters in a year) and started taking a Econ class for my school’s sophomore year requirements. I find the subject interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s what I want to do. From what I’ve read in other places, economics leads the door open for many careers. This is what I really like with the major. I’m really interested in business, mathematics, politics, law, and maybe even computer science (not so sure about the last one, but looks like something I’d like). Careers I’ve looked at in the past would be becoming a lawyer, an actuary, or somewhere in finance. What I’ve seen is that an economics major is a good replacement for the possible dead end of an actuarial science major or a pre-law major. Is this too good to be true, or should I stick to economics to keep my options open. What I’m really wondering is this major dangerous because it lacks specialization.
