In general, I don’t advise that people should double major at all unless there is a very large amount of overlap between the two fields. Instead, consider just minoring in economics. Once you fulfill the minor requirements you still have the flexibility to take more economics courses that interest you without the pressure of taking the large amount every semester required for a major. In addition, you can take the time you save by not majoring and spend it on your own personal projects which will probably end up being more impressive to an employer than an extra BA.
