Why do Economics?
Have you ever heard that money makes the world go round? Why do many footballers earn more than the Prime Minister? What caused the ‘credit crunch’? Given issues like these, there isn’t a more exciting time to study Economics. When you read the newspapers or watch television you are presented with economic issues daily because Economics is all around us. If it involves money or resources and how to use them, then it is an economic problem and understanding these problems is central to understanding worldwide issues such as congestion, unemployment, poverty, transport and much much more.
Economics is a highly respected and highly valued subject and opens up excellent opportunities for those who choose to study it. Economists are highly sought after – in fact, they are the second highest paid graduates!
