Business Studies, Finance, Economics, Accounting, what the hell is the difference between all of them?
Nothing. They are all cuck majors that are about to be unemployed by CS majors using big data to take their jobs.

Business Studies: The science of business and how it works
Finance: How to manipulate and manage your money
Econmics: The science of how money moves, in small and large scale
Accounting: How to manipulate and manage other people's money

Which is the best to get a degree in?
>>1400168
I have an Econ degree and it's more about how firms make decisions but the movement of money is somewhat part of it

I would consider actuarial a STEM subject. Heavy math+stats where the only business classes you take are the finance ones.
>>1400196
Accounting if you are going to get 'eh' grades and want a secure, realistic 9-6 that allows you to climb the corporate ladder and be rich later in life by becoming partner.

Finance is okay tier on it's own as there are alot of people that aim to work in finance with not as many job spots as accounting so banks and fund teams can be selective with who they choose. Best mixed with accounting or any quantitative degree like maths, stats, engineering, physics, CS. Also good to be mixed with other business degrees like accounting or econ. Actuarial + Finance = GOD TIER imo
>>1400196
Economics on its own is pretty crap imo. Alot of biz people have it right and do quantitative degree + economics. Reason being is that like finance, fair few econ grads not that many spots so the banks and what not that hire econ grads can take the best, so, they tend to pick the quantitative kids as they will defs be able to handle it and also provide valuable quantitative insight.

Business studies. Wouldn't recommend, it's better to do a niche thing like finance, accounting or econ.

My uni doesn't have Finance or Econ majors, but would doing a double major in BS(Econ) and BS(Finance) be good?
I recieved a master degree in economics from one of the better universities in Europe.
Let me tell you know that job prospects are ok, but not fantastic.

>Accounting: How to manipulate and manage other people's money
Accountants don't "manipulate money", they present the financial health of a company to investors and creditors.
Or do fucking taxes.
