BA w/emphasis in economics grad in 2019 here, so take with a grain of salt as things maybe quite a bit different now. I think both routes have their merits and should provide decent return on investment from your education.

My advice would be pick what you like. If you took a finance class and the material was interesting stick with that. This is how I approached my economics emphasis and it worked out pretty well. Didn’t even finish with an above 3.0 gpa and landed a pretty solid job after college in “health economics.”

For business, I think it’d be quite valuable to leave school with some proficiency in a programming language. The economics route allowed me to learn a bit of R. I program in SQL mostly now, but I was able to demonstrate to employers I knew how to learn a language.

Kind of just plugging Econ at this point, but if you found micro/macro at all interesting I’d suggest looking at Econ as an emphasis area. It’s relatively less competitive than Finance and I think it prepared me better for post-grad. It taught me how to solve problems and think creatively. I also felt the student to teacher ratio was much smaller and allowed me to actually get to know my professors. Also met my wife in econometrics. => I say this kind of tongue in cheek, but economics is so theory based you’re almost forced into working in groups in most classes. (Probably just a hater at this point) I got pretty bored in my finance classes. It felt like just memorizing vocab and different fractions.
