Should I take physics or economics?Hi,
I'm a student doing GCSE's at the moment and am moving to a college next year. I hope to take at AS level:
-Maths
-Further maths
-Goverment and politics
-Chemistry
-and either physics or economics
I'm not sure which is the best choice for me. I enjoy physics at school and I know it uses maths which is something I can do. However I think economics sounds interesting. The problem with economics is I'm not sure whether it's looked at as a hard subject and whether it just isn't as good as physics as an alevel.
Please help

Re: Should I take physics or economics?Physics and Economics are both good a levels, physics complements maths and f maths much better but I didn't find it too maths heavy. Go where your heart pleases you, you can always drop one / switch it in the first few weeks.

Re: Should I take physics or economics?Yes I've been thinking about that just it looks really interesting and I thought it might be different from the other as levels. I forgot to add chemistry to the subjects I'm taking. Don't know if that makes a difference(Original post by Repressor)
I'd probably drop the government and politics and do both physics and economics instead.

Re: Should I take physics or economics?do economics, its easier than physics in the sense you can always come up with an answer if you think long enough and very interesting too. but it depends on whether you want to do eco related stuff in the future.
but physics is very mathsy and tough to get your head around. -

Personally,
I'd take the economics as with math further math and economics you would be more than set for applying for the top economics courses at uni.
Although, that does rather leave chemistry a little isolated in the science area.
