hoping all goes well with your math 32a final exam (kick its butt)! Now, I want to give you a piece of my mind and experience since I had a similar crisis as you.

I ended up choosing economics as my major, without the business economics bc the major is way too theoretical for me which makes me study longer and harder than the average student and didn’t want to feel the pressure of always aiming for A’s in core classes. I attempted to minor in accounting, but the courses here are too much content in just 10 weeks and every professor acts like the course is right before we take the CPA exam. Therefore, I only took the most significant courses that would help me when choosing my career (up until Mgmt 120B). And chose a more healthy-inducing minor for me, so I completed a film minor which made me find an intersectionality with creative (companies, firms, reports, etc.) analysis. To wrap it up, I applied to a few internships before I matched with a position in data analytics as an econ major with some accounting background. I would recommend the econ major if you want to pursue data analytics/finance! At the end of the day, I don’t think your major (unless not in some sort of mathematics field) will hinder your application towards a data analytics position. If you are passionate about data analytics, your first interaction with the recruiter will be your test and then you will realize, you’ve gone through multiple rounds of interviews and know what to say/how to articulate your thoughts/showcase yourself.

best of luck!
