hey guys, i just want to know what other subject areas would go well with economics? i was thinking of incorporating my enjoyment of foreign languages into my degree but what are the job prospects like if i do this?
and does anyone know what other subjects might go well with economics? (apart from finance as that is kinda obvious and id also like to see other options :P )

thanks :)

Make sure you do a fair bit of maths, since econometrics sounds awesome. I would have done economics for breadth if I was allowed to do econometrics subjects.

So I recommend doing applied maths aswell (the statistics would probably be taught with economics).
