    You have to read before you attend class to understand what's going on. Please practise a lot too it helps. You're gonna find it hard to find videos on UA-cam to help you. So try and go through as many texts you have access to.

    Some other reasons I wouldn’t:
    - not as relevant to finance as people think. Maybe bits of macro are (mostly to central banking) but if you want to go into finance an A&F degree would give you more knowledge.
    - lots of maths to learn to actually do economics, you need to fit in a lot of extra maths if you want to study it at a higher level past undergraduate.
    - it doesn’t equip you with a lot of technical skills relevant to the job market. Other than econometrics where you might learn stata or R there is usually little to no options on learning things like sql, python etc. which a lot of jobs/ research requires

    Not only that
    Most of degrees can be studied at home with so much ease and comfort
    and much cheaper too
    Except for the degrees that need practical teaching like medicine and engineering maybe .. but universities today should really change at least the mindset .. they are only trading institutions.. I don’t know when this will change and we are now in 2024

    studying economics at university should have only 1 objective: to become a superior researcher. That is possible only unver supervision. That is why try to write paper per subject. This is the practical in economics degree. LEARN R, Pytho, Econometrics and Simulations then make a judgement.

      I think thats because Economics itself is a very broad discipline, hence the application is also too broad to be of any use by itself. Best thing to do with an Econs degree is to have a specialization/minor/specialized degree. Best minor to do with econs would probably be Computer Science in today’s complicated financial systems. Specialized degrees like financial economics, MORSE, Econometrics, etc etc.
