Agree with all of this.

OP- you need to look at the actual course content. It’s easy to say now that you’ll do either business or econ- but actually enjoying the courses you need to take is something else entirely.

You do not need to major in “business” if the goal is marketing, for example. Majoring in applied math (i.e. statistics) or psychology (with a strong statistical bent) is sometimes seen as a more rigorous path, depending on the company. In the companies I’ve worked for, marketing majors (or concentrations) are often seen as the “low rigor” version of a statistics major. High on content (which goes out of date every couple of years) and low on analytics (which go out of date in decades, not years).
