    Economics is great, you actually learn how to think rationally, really good subject that you will either love or hate and that's a fact as most people either love or hate economics there's no such thing as a middle ground really. Don't be surprised if you feel a little lost doing it. Personally the best subject to do in university is geography, it's always interesting, you can never do badly in it, it's a healthy mix of other subjects that's focussed on: space, place and time, really geography looks at anything that happens on space, in a place, over time, so you can look at things like 'economic deprivation in Bray, during the financial crisis' to 'heavy metal contaminant cycling in the barrow floodplain', there's tremendous scope and mixture of stuff.
