As an economist I wish more people would follow the math/econ option and add CS coursework. Unfortunately, most economist are scared to venture beyond Excel, Stata, and SAS, and I believe this creates a professional focus on static models.

Careerwise, not studying CS has not impacted my income, but it may have impacted my ability to get a job in CS. However, I blame this more on my own inability to signal CS competency.
