I'd recommend you take an intro to macroeconomics course. You'll learn about how monetary policy works (interest rates) and that will help you your whole life. Understanding economics helps you understand business trends, investing, and it gives you more perspective on current events.

Maybe it was just the class I took, but I took macro and wished from the first day and ever after that I had taken micro. I felt like one class of micro might have gotten me some information I could actually use in business, whereas one class of macro was far from enough to get a handle on current events or monetary policy.
