Is a Cambridge Economics Degree really worth it?

I'm sitting the TMUA in October but I don't know how valuable this degree is compared to a Maths Degree or Joint degree with Maths from another university such as Warwick or Bath? Which one would be paid better and has more career prospects because most people who do Economics at Cambridge end up as analysts or consultants and some IB ( I just looked at a few people) so yes PLEASE help me everyone!
Yes, it's one of the best

Why would anyone want to work for an organisation that was up to its neck in the biggest fraud in history ? The victims of the fraud were the people of a developing country.

OP, a degree can't be valued in purely numerical terms.

"Goldman Sachs rules the world." 😀 lol

I've always 'admired' Goldman Sachs. Because they make almost everybody who works for them a millionaire within a few years of working for them. 😉

You admire fraudsters who steal from some of the poorest people in the World.

As usual, it's not clear if you are trolling, or revealing a remarkably shallow and/or amoral view of the World. Goldman Sachs is a byword for cynicism and dishonesty. The organisation represents everything that is wrong about the international financial system.

Your slavish worship of money is at variance with your claim to be religious. If you're not a troll, you're a very confused person.

I had not kept up with the news about Goldman Sachs unfrotunately. ☹️

I once wanted to work for Goldman Sachs in my teens as so many of my friends also wanted to get into Investment Banking but now it is American and British Law firms and the Big 4 Accounting firms here in London. 🙂

I don't 'admire' Goldman Sachs anymore. Because I told my cousin, who is at UCL studying BSc Economics for her choice of work placement to be: "Bank of England" 🙂 lol So I no longer promote Goldman Sachs as being good and I know they do evil.
