Economics or Maths, what do I pick?

Choice 1:
-Maths
-Business
-History

Choice 2:
-Economics
-Business
-History

Defo picking History or Business, nothing changing that. Heard I should pick Economics and Business. I think Maths should be better than Economics, however my predicted grades is around a 6-7,( I think I'll get a 7). I'm set 2 in maths (out of 7, set 1 being the best)

Will Maths be too hard for me?
I'm willing to put the hours in but not sure if I'll be too much. As I subject I don't mind Maths, it's ok but I don't have a deep passion for it. However I think I would do better and I prefer economics

I'm only picking it because unis like it more and I think I'll get a better payed job
(Idrk what im talking about, so please correct me)

So do I pick Maths or economics?

I've heard I shouldn't pick Business and economics
Econ without Maths will limit any eventual Econ related degree choices.
Many top Unis will not accept Econ and Business together - too much overlap.

I'm currently in yr13 doing maths. It's hard but it's managable as long as u do lots of practice.

In terms of ur choices, maths will help keep ur options open and it's true that u shouldn't pick econ and business together as they're often seen as too similar. I'd prob go with maths/econ/history or maths/business/history but tbh u should just pick what u enjoy most and will get the highest grade in.
