A level buisness or Economics, retaking student

To anyone who has completed A level Business or Economics, would you recommend the subject, and why. I am retaking 2 A levels and can't seem to decide about the 3rd, business/economics. I previously did geography. I don't need this subject for my UCAS application as it will be used as a filler subject.

Any opinion would be useful.

I did both economics and business, I got A* in business and A in economics (and A* maths). I regret doing business, I should’ve picked another stem subject, business is not that helpful, it’s also boring, econ is harder but defo the better option.

Take Econ as u can use it also at uni if u go into more Econ or finance accounting etc. very useful just general and very interesting also a bit more difficult than biz. Biz is almost a guaranteed A/A* but Econ is way more respected by unis. Overall Econ
