Swapping One of My A Levels
I was wondering if it's a good idea to change my history course to Economics and i needed some advice on whether or not this is a suitable choice for me to do because i think economics would be a usefull subject to do but i also didn't do it for GCSEs so i don't know if i would be able to handle it. On the other hand history is a really heavy subject to do and it's necessary to be 100% committed to it.

Checks:
•
Do you need it for your chosen degree? - As far as I know, history is required for some history degrees, economics is not really a required subject for the majority of economics degrees (only 1 or 2 semi-ask for it)
•
What are your other subejcts and do them complement economics or history better?
•
Do you like analytical subjects? If you don't, economics might not be for you
•
Do you enjoy history?
•
Which subject will you regret the least not taking?
"Useful subjects" aren't usually academic; they're usually vocational. Unfortunately, vocational subjects aren't usually respected at uni.
Economics is principally theoretical, not applied i.e. the usefulness of the subject is limited to just ideas.
"Useful" A Level subjects can include: accounting, computer science/IT, modern languages, electronics, digital tech, fashion, law, stats, thinking skills, art and design, business, design and textiles, food science and nutrition, English language.
