In my experience, domain specific skills together with technical knowledge will get you further than technical skills alone. My suggestion is to complete your economics course. Along the way take any electives that allow you to gain some technical proficiency. If your institution doesn't make it possible then you might have to acquire some tech skills through self-study or other means. Once you graduate look for jobs in banking, finance or insurance that are loosely aligned with your interests and values. I would suggest avoiding consulting firms. Once you have a job on the strength of your recent economics qualifications actively watch for and seek out opportunities where your technical skills add value. That way you differentiate yourself from both your peers and any technical only staff. Currently data science combined with expertise in some niche, e.g. environmental economics, should give you a huge advantage.
