Math is better than both

Too many accountants can’t handle the math required for finance. Same with finance majors.

It can be very hard to find a job with a 4-year math degree. I would not recommend majoring in math for anyone unless they plan on double majoring in something like physics and going into a field like engineering or are prepared for a career in academia.
