    Its all about the teacher! Seriously!

    Geography may be easier, but if the teacher for it is garbage(like mine) don't do it just cause of its reputation as an 'easy subject'

    My german teacher actually managed to make me WORSE from my junior cert standard all down to his ability to teach the language-consisting of reading newspapers which he translated word for word every day

    Sound guy but crap teacher:)

    Geography isn't very time consuming considering it is mostly the same as the JC stuff on the course. Same idea with a bit extra material.

    History isn't time consuming at all any more than accounting or Biology. Don't believe all those rumours.

    Are you serious? Do you even do history and geography?

    Do you enjoy either of geography or accounting? Are you better at one?

    Well I would go for the one that a) I enjoy b) am good at and c) one that's useful to my future.
    For me geography was the way to go (I did geology in college). I loved it in school (one of a minority) and enjoyed double geog on a thursday morning in 5th year lol.
    Geography is a broad subject, covers a lot of bases and you need to know most of it. But if you enjoy it/find it relatively easy then you shouldn't have much of a problem. Learning things.

    Accounting I've never done but I know my brother had a great teacher up to 6th year and hten had a crap one and he just dived in the class. I don't know how hard/easy it is to learn/keep up with, but if you enjoy and are good at it, then go for that.

    End of the day it's a personal choice, nothings going to be easy, but you need subjects for the future, and ones you can do well in.

    You don't NEED a science. You're advidsed to take one. I thought you weren't doing medicine. Drop French because you don't need a language for Medicine -or do you. What college are you going to? You won't need a language at the I.T.'s.

    But you don't need a language for the IT's. The IT's have come up a lot in recent years offering great courses. Plenty of people don't do science and get on grand. I wouldn't worry about people advising you to do one. THat's the Dept. of Education worrying about the SCience sector and people doing higher levels maths not getting A's every year. Worry about yourself and not what the teachers tell you.

    Flip a coin. Its depends what you prefer, because both of them have positives and negatives. Accounting, your either good or bad at it and geography, its a broad broad course!

    Maybe drop the French and take up Italien/Spanish if available. Think they are easier. Take on Geography and Accounting. Drop the biology. Physics would be an easier course. So I'm told. Biology is hard, worse than Geography. Higher level maths takes up a lot of time. Maybe drop to ordinary level and take up the accounting then.

    Well you have to cut corners. Everything won't work out nicely. What about dropping HL maths. That takes up abour 1.5 hours a night. A lot of time.

    Ok, just to clarify, the OP is looking for info/advice on accounting and geography LC only.
    Please just give your advice, and OP take it on board, people are giving you information but it's your choice at the end of the day.
