Finance minor isn’t available at my school and I want the accounting degree so I can still take the more secure accounting route after graduation if I can’t find my way into any investment banking positions because they are so competitive, but I will be taking all the finance courses throughout my semesters so I will know as much as a finance major.

Yes. Math is very important in that field along with knowing about the economy and having an accounting background.

That’s fine, but it doesn’t really matter. The things that matter are your academic performance and the strength of your internships. In order to get an internship, you have to know a lot about current events/the market for your interviews. Spend all your time researching firms to apply for at your career services. Do whatever mix will get you the best GPA. . . they won’t care if you have 1 minor as opposed to 2 if you average a whole grade point less.
Investment Banking is a pretty worthless and unfulfilling industry (have had a handful of friends including myself quit our jobs to move to consulting/non-profit/education/other), but if you want to make a buttload of money, there is no better way.
