Which is a better degree in your opinion?
Economics is better; although I'm a little biased
Better job prospects, higher applicant numbers, harder course, more respected by employers.
And I quote;
"Never has there been a subject so intent on devouring the purpose of all others, as Economics is simply a common theme in society"

Better job prospects
Not necessarily true.
Erechtheus
higher applicant numbers
Not true.
Erechtheus
harder course
Not necessarily true. Come back when you've done a BSc in Psych AND Economics.

Well I'm moving on to A2 in Maths Psyc and Eco, got a B in Eco and Psyc, I'm equally interested in both but I can't make up my mind on which one to study at uni.
with an economics degree, you could go into many different types of career, and it's a very well respected degree by employers. it's a bit insulting the way you can even compare it psychology, which is regarded as a pointless degree by educated employers. it's only really useful if you want to teach or be a psychologist

There are obviously exceptions but statisically I feel I'm fairly safe in these judgements.
EDIT: Compare subject rankings at almost EVERY university
No offence to anyone taking psychology, it's a great degree for certain jobs. But in general Economics is better

This would seem to suggest otherwise. However Phych is becoming more and more respected as a degree, TC do which ever you enjoy.
I'd say as subjects, economics and psychology are heavily different. For economics you need maths, for psychology you need good essay-writing skills. Also psychology involves some lab research or otherwise experiments. The fields economy and psychology can lead into are overall different. I think you asked this before and I suggested you thought about a future job prospect and see if you are actually interested in doing any of the jobs available.
