    Hey, I recently dropped German due to my inept ability to speak languages. I am left with the choice of picking up Geography or Economics for my 6th year, which one would you recommend?

    thanks

    I found geography to be the most horribly boring subject, but I didn't do economics, so by default, I'd choose economics. Plus, the economics course is about half the length of geography's.

    Econmics is ment t be very good and easy,but it depends on the teacher allot more than other subjects((Excluding Languages and math)).

    People have told me its reallye enjoyable,and seeing as its a one year course I'm half tempted to pick it up myself this year.

    I would definitely do geography.I did economics and geog for the leaving. There is a lot in geog but it is easy to learn and i found it quite interesting.And you do a project which is worth 20% of your overall mark so it helps with gaining points.I found economics difficult even though I am brilliant at business.There are a lot of graphs and statistics to learn in it and I found it very boring.

    I did eco but didnt do geography... I loved economics altho at times it can be really boring.

    Having an interest in the economy will be a huge help. It's a relatively simple subject.

    I heard that geography is good too and pretty easy.

    EDIT: Jus realised I didnt really answer ur question haha!
