I'm a math major and most of the expert data scientists I would recommend are social science graduates.
They have a lot more experience with real-world data and a lot more knowledge about what statistical techniques and assumptions correctly apply in real situations - quantitatively and qualitatively. You simply don't get this knowledge and experience from a maths-led statistics course.
I would be happy to recommend you a history major.
