Should I change from Physics to Economics

    Hi There,

    I'm in 4th Year (In my school we pretty much start the Leaving cert 5th year in TY)

    and I've chosen physics as one of my subjects, I'm finding it very dull & boring and just quite frankly am not bothered, On top of this my Teacher is also dull & boring despite being a nice guy.

    I'm considering moving To Economics, Its pretty much my only other option, I have an interest in it, But from what I remember Junior Cert Economics Chapter in Business was pretty dull and based on too many formulas.

    I'm more interested in a career in business so maybe economics is a good mood,

    Only problem is Physics is my only science subject...


    Advice?

    Is Economics relatively easy to get an A in? Or Impossible? Is it worth the switch or should I struggle on with Physics, How do I even know I'll enjoy Economics when I start it?

    Kind Regards,

    Jack Leonard

    My economics teacher said 2.1% get A1's..
    There are formulas and you have to get the definitions exact or you don't get the marks

    Edit: With physics about 8% achieve A1's

    Hmmm, Maybe thats a problem, I don't need very high points (I'm looking for around 480+)

    I should be alright learning a good few formulas, but if the course is filled with them that could be troublesome, Definitions are fine.

    The formulas are in the log tables :)
