Most optimal/relevant major for economics with actuarial studies? (1 Viewer)

[imnotandy]

Hi, I come here to ask for your own opinions on which economics major I should choose with my double degree with actuarial science.

There is econometrics, economics, or financial economics. What I know so far is that econometrics or financial economics is ok?

Damn, probably finance - is that possible?
If you actually want to work in front office/M&A/IBD and have a commerce related degree, more likely than not, you'll be tested on finance/vals/sector knowledge in interviews. Only usually people from completely different backgrounds (e.g. Maths/Science) get excused. So it might be a good idea to do Finance if you can. If not, maybe Economics?
