Dear Shantanu,
Yes, you do have a lot of opportunities if you have the combination of these subjects. I don't know in which field you are interested more. But what I am saying here is from my perspective.
I would advise you to go for BBA (specialisation in Finance will be preferred). After that learn some programming language like python and R.
The reason why I am saying is that with this, you can easily have a good grasp to learn ' Financial Data Scientist'.
Shantanu, this is might be too early to make you make you aware about all this stuff, but trust me, these days the companies like IBM, NVIDIA, Microsoft, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, etc., are offering the handsome salary packages to these professionals.
Only opt for financial data scientist course if and only if you have a great knowledge and understanding of some subjects like Finance, Mathematics, Programming/coding, logical and technical reasoning.
Hope this helps.
Upvote the answer if you feel satisfied.

Good luck.
