law degree OR economics degree -> law conversion

Hi I’m in y12 and I picked maths economics and further maths
i initially wanted to pursue economics at uni but now I’ve found interest in law, specifically international law. although i do still like some aspects of economics im not sure i want to spend 3 years at uni studying it and not enjoying it. on the other had i do really enjoy law and im willing to commit to a degree for it as i find it interesting

However, would it be more practical to do economics first and then a law conversion (so that if i ever do change my mind later on i have options) or just do law at uni as soon as i finish y13. i do think the economics and then law conversion may be more practical but i know there’s some aspects of it i don’t really like (econometrics, the probability and statistics side and calculations, pure economic theory)
on the other hand i think id really enjoy the law degree itself and was initially planning on this in the first place but I just want some opinions on this

Economic theory, econometrics, and probability and statistics make up I think most of what an economics degree actually entails at most universities?
What is it in an economics degree that you are interested in?

Lawyers sometimes make things worse. They can often make things better. Economists ruin almost everything and rarely if ever make things better.
Society could function without any economists. Society would struggle to function without lawyers. They are less valuable than doctors, but a lot more valuable than economists. I am talking about real value, not wage and fee market value.

More like the behavioural economics and like the application to real life i thjnk is the most interesting

so ur saying its not worth studying economics? I thought that having it as a degree would be somewhat valuable and would appeal more to employers, especially if the degree is from prestigious universities
im definitely leaning more to the law side though, I agree I do think law would be more practical especially for me.
the only thing Im worried about would be how oversaturated it is, which Initally made me lean towards economics more

Honestly that seems like a rather small area of the course and you don't seem interested with what would make up the majority of the degree. It doesn't sound like it's a good fit for you...

Hello,
I definitely recommend going for a law degree if you enjoy the subject more! Your career prospects with either degree will be very similar. The only jobs that would be closed to you if you do a law degree would involve the exact statistical subjects you have said you don't enjoy. Law degrees are very highly regarded, and graduates can break into a range of fields. Enjoying the subject you are studying will help you achieve better university grades, which will also be beneficial for your applications. Don't overthink it!

hi thanks for replying!
I see ur a law student and I was just wondering if you know anything about job prospects within international law or international criminal law? I wanna do a role that works closely potentially with the UN or the international criminal courts but it isn’t made clear on exactly how to get into these kind of roles
