Need Help!! Economics or Accounting??

[sam-129]

Hey guys
so I'm having a hard time choosing between economics and accunting. I need to take 1 more subject in June 2011 and most of my friends are either choosing economics or accounting.
I need to take something easy because I get bored from these kinda subjects and anything that deals with money
so what do you recommend for me? what's the easiest? or the advantages and disadvantages of both based on your personal experience with those 2 subjects??
Thanks in advance plz guys I need this quickly

Hey, Sam-129.

I've taken both the subjects so i think i can guide yuh here.

First of all, what subjects are yuh taking?

Now, if yuh want to know what an easy subject is, it's probably Accounting. As the AS year is purely a revision of IGCSE's.

However, before further elaboration, i'd really want to know what yer ambition is and what other subjects yer opting fer?

I did both subjects too and enjoyed them a lot.

Accounting - if you understand the core principles it just becomes a bunch of repetition ; quite easy actually.

Economics - A LOT OF THEORY !!!! But its fun as their are no set answers and you can discuss and include a lot of matter in your questions.

BUT you need to really study for  Economics or you will do VERY bad in it.

I'm taking physics, ict, arabic 1st language, math as, and the 5th will be either econ or account. I'm yet to choose between them and I want the easiest for me

so by that you think the easiest for me would be accounting? it seems easy from the way you talk

To be honest I dislike it when a person asks for recommendations for an EASY subject.

Both are hard and if you dont study you will fail no matter which one you take.

If you are hoping to take an 'EASY' subject so you can spend less time on it ; then wake up.

IGCSEs = Hard-work ¹⁰ 

No hard work = bad marks.

^^^ Get it into yer head, Sam-129. As said by my friend, Ari Ben Canaan, If you are hoping to take an 'EASY' subject so you can spend less time on it ; then wake up.


If yuh really want to take an easier subject amongst the two, i'd recommend yuh to go fer Accounting. =]

I totally agree with you. It's not like I don't want to spend my time on any subject, I just hate anything that deals with money and I get bored quickly from these kinda stuff... that's why I didn't take them this year XD
I don't have any idea about those 2 so I'm asking you guys what do u think might be the one 4 me, that's it dude!
