I have a choice between three:

BA joint honors in economics and finance
BA joint honors in economics and accounting
BASc joint honors in economics and math

In your opinion, which one is the best choice? And can you make references to:

a) The variety/types of jobs that would be open for me after graduation (with or without going to grad school)

b) How my degree will fit into the global market in the next 5-10 years - I'm looking at North America and Asia in particular

Thank you in advance!
 
If you want a job out of your bachelor program: accounting. This is as accounting has the most demand, by a huge margin. Undergrad econ itself gives you no job.

If you want to seek out grad studies in econ: math. This is as grad econ programs are mathematically intense and you will not even qualify (even as an econ major) unless you have substantial coursework in math.
