I have my Associates degree in marketing/ business admin. I am transferring to a 4 year college for my bachelors degree. I have several choices of what to specialize in but I want to choose something that will withstand this economic crisis. I delight in all the choices so I was unable to narrow it down that way. This is the list of choices: accounting, actuarial sciences, computer information systems, economics, finance, hospitality administration, managerial sciences, marketing real estate, and risk management and insurance.

Presently in the US, you can either take economics or finance.
I would vote for economics. The reason is that economics is, from that list, the most fundamental degree. It underlies a variety of other more applied areas in business. It has the broadest scope to it.
