I studied economics in undergrad, and I'm in computer science now in grad school.
If I could choose again, I'd try math in undergrad or, if I was stuck with my econ BA, I'd study applied math in grad school.
Math really seems like the way to go if you find it interesting (which I do...I'm just not a math savant). The most interesting parts of my econ degree involved relatively heavy (topology, advanced calculus/real analysis) math courses.
