  • I studied Economics for 3 years. It has changed my life (I'm not lying...). Today I review my experience studying for an economics major, economic degree and let you know what surprised me about my studies. This video should help you decide if doing an economics degree is a good choice for you.

    Economics is a very popular major and degree. Some people get stuck between choosing a business, finance, accounting or economics degree and this video should help you choose. Economics degree in UK. Economics Degree in the US. Economics degree in Australia. With Alevel results day around the corner, this is the perfect time to bring out a full review of my Bsc economics and finance degree. It's a high paying degree meaning if you study for an economics degree or an economics major you should have a good salary and make good money and it shouldn't be too hard either ;). Is economics a good degree? Is economics a good major?

    Could you make a vid on the job prospects of an economics degree, and also talk about the difficulty of getting a job with good salary and an average working time. Or could you do a vid talking about how Economics differs from a business or finance degree in terms of prospects as it seems harder but seems to have similar destinations. Good vid btw

    I'm a 3rd year economics student doing both business and economics, I'm taking intermediate economics right now and the math is definitely a grind. I'm a little older so some of the calculus has been daunting, but it is not insurmountable! The concepts are very interesting and have definitely expanded my perception of things, and my gf who is doing her masters in ecological biology is always interested in my studies because so many of the concepts can be applied in ecology. While it's hard, I"m definitely loving my program and have no regrets, its a massive messy complicated subject but has so many different facets and domains within it. There's no nice secure set career path for a B. Econ because there are many to choose from, and the understanding you gain seems to permeate into your entire perspective of the world.

      It's so that no particular store has the locational advantage. Imagine icecream vendors, ones on the left of the beach and the other's in the middle of the beach, the one on the left has 25% of the beach closest to him while the one in the middle has 75% of the beach closest to him. By moving closer together both get 50% share of the area. Obviously preferences will decide who goes where but it helps having the greater share

    • @amandaarcher7919

      Because every seller wants the largest share of buyers, and going away from the cluster is risky, so most competing sellers are located closer together

      No no, other replies are all wrong, The most basic explanation comes down to both economics and psycology. If there's a coke vending machine your brain starts to analyse that do you want a coke or not. If there's a pepsi and coke vending machine next to each other you take the factor of not taking anything out of the picture and start deciding if you want the pepsi or the coke, Thus increasing the sale of both vending machines

    What I wanted from Economics was both to understand the world and earn money. As dad pointed out, he was spending a lot of money and I worked to earn money for College. The high incomes and all are a huge draw as well as being able to learn about the world. I've spent most of my childhood working for my parents to make them happy and all... and they do brag about me. I hope it is everything I've been promised.

    The maths side of things certainly varies. At my uni BSc economics requires A level maths which is always a good indication of how quantitative it's going to get. No BA option. The 1st term of my 1st year we were thrown straight in with multivariate calculus, linear algebra, and statistics, econometrics followed in the second term. And yes the history module is a beautiful thing. :)

    I just graduated with a Bsc International Economics and Trade degree at the University of Nottingham China campus. I'm Indonesian.To be frank, if I could turn back time I would have gone for International Business Management or Finance and Accounting, here's why. Yes, an economics degree does have loads of good value like the analytical skills, understanding the economy, etc. However I feel like if you're not going to do any economics work or be an economist it's lacking lots of stuff. Let's start with say, if you want to go into anything business related like Marketing, Management consulting, etc. It's lacking in a lot of stuff related to the field. Of course you can always learn it outside your degree, but from my experience why would you want to spend money learning stuff that's not relevant for you, when you could have made use of the time on more productive modules? What about the finance field? You can go there with an econs degree. But from my experience I feel like people with an accounting or finance background would be much more competitive. They simply learn and know more stuff than us economics students. I'm not sure about econs and finance, but I did take Financial economics, monetary economics and the finance stuff was very..... limited I had to learn much much (and much) more from certificates and google. Lastly, even the econs modules, are too mathematical, which I believe makes things a lot more complicated than necessary and actually gives way less intuitive insight than if the theories were written in simple words and graphs (This was my biggest complain. Aside from Behavioural Econs which gives more economic insights in my opinion than the rest). The econometrics side.... decent. It's good. I used STATA and MATLAB. Nobody in the private sector nobody uses these other than economists and academics. They use Excel, Python, SQL. Does Economics teach these? No. Even if you want to go to highly analytical jobs, these jobs would prefer computer scientists over us. Not saying economics is a bad degree, but from personal experience I feel that it's lacking lots of stuff, unless you want to be an economist. Personal thought. Complete honesty here.

      Economics is thousand times better than computer science. There's many options in economics than comp sci, comp sci degree is usually useless because there's no degree requirement you can do comp sci work without degree but Econ degree is totally worth it you can't do econ work without degree. Economics has such highest paying careers like investment banking, private equity etc.

      Not at all, literally no university requires you to study Economics as an A level when applying. When it comes to getting an offer once again they do not care if you studied it, it comes down to your personal statement mostly and how likely you are to achieve the grades to meet the entry requirements. So make sure your personal statement really portrays how much you’re passionate about studying Economics and that you work hard to have good predicted grades. Best of luck :)

I agree with you on Maths as you’ll definitely need it if you want to do straight Economics, and I found Maths A level very interesting, however for Chemistry although you did get a 9 I say look at what’s gonna be taught at A level first, watch videos etc bc for me I got a 8 and 7 in Combined Science, Chemistry was my favourite one, tried it at A level and dropped it after a week because I just didn’t enjoy anymore and felt that if I carried on with it I just wouldn’t be happy in general. So I say do your research for Chemistry check what exam board your potential colleges/sixth forms will be using and look at the past papers etc and see if you still want to do it (don’t just choose a subject bc you did well in it at gcse make sure it interests you) you will be surprised at how different subjects will be from gcse and a level

      @@Xarishher Concerning your 3rd and 4th choice I found that I had no free time doing 4 A levels (which was another reason why I dropped chemistry) and doing 4 A levels doesn’t put you at an advantage when it comes to applying to unis they would rather have you doing 3 A levels and getting A*AA than doing 4 and getting something like AABB so keep that in mind. I’d say base your options on what really interests you for me I also liked languages and really enjoyed business and as my sixth form wouldn’t allow me to do Business and Economics I did Maths Business and French I really enjoyed each subject and I am still reusing some of my A level notes here which really saves me time as I don’t have to go through all the lectures etc. My key point is that make sure you choose subjects that spark your interest and that you know you’d do well in. You’ll also have to talk about them in your personal statement and talking about something you like is much easier. InshAllah I’m wishing you the best in your exam and drop me an email when it’s time to write your personal statement I’ll be more than happy to send mine and help.

    What they don't say is that you need at least a Master degree in Economics for it to pay off. So you need to study for at least 6 years minimum and even get to PhD so 6-11 years.
    Otherwise you end up in fields like finance or related with just a bachelor.
