I'm doing a BSc in Economics, heading into my last year and thinking of doing a Masters in Finance as I wanna work as an investment banker. Economics is actually pretty fun if you like looking up information and interpreting it your own way. The good thing about Economics is that it's both a Theoretical and Mathematical science. Unlike other subjects it won't bore you with having to read tons of books and learn tons of theories and definitions off by heart (Biology for example). Yes you do have to know definitions such as inflation or unemployment for example, you do have to know alot of graphs and how to draw them and you do have to know equations to support your argument mathematically, but what I like about Economics is that once you've learnt all these things you are supposed to give your own analysis. In my degree for each question there is no right or wrong, as long as you support your opinion with facts and theory you are solid, there isn't only one outcome as in Maths.
I got some friends who are doing computer science at uni level and you have to like coding. If you don't enjoy doing coding then I'd advise you to stay away from that. Like Jason said a masters is what counts the most and having spoken to many Universities in the UK about a masters degree they all told me that they want their students to have a general knowledge of economics. So, if you decide to study economics its best that for your first Degree you don't go and apply for Finance & Accounting for eg.
