Hi,
I am pursuing Undergrad Math degree (BSc) and planning to do Second degree in Econ (BA).
After double degree i am going to take either few introductary accounting courses or finance courses (just to have some basic knowledge of business courses).
I was wondering in what field I can work after my studies ?
Is it true that Math Undergrad degree is not that useful???.....i heard people saying that why would employers hire with somebody degree in Math !!! is that true :( :(
Thats why i want to get some knowlede of business courses after i get Undergrad degree...
Thanks...appreciated

No! Who told you that no one hires people with bachelors degrees in Math? They are dead wrong! I can't think of a single insurance company or a company that deals with science or engineering that would pass up a Math & Econ major. Investment banks on Wall Street would be looking for you too. Best part - most of them will pay for an MBA if you need it.
There are TOO MANY apathetic business degrees being churned out. Employers are looking for students that are actively engaged in quantitative majors (like, math) over students that are just in business to get a job.
That said... finance would be most in line with your other majors. You may want to take a personal finance class - if not to help your future job search, but to help you take care of your own finances later.

Mathematics is one of the most useful degrees out there. Who wouldn't want to hire someone who can think critically and solve problems.
When you add a second major in Economics and a few finance and accounting classes -- you have a very marketable person.
