<p>I like economics, and while I'm not bad at math, the stories i read on forums make it scary. I still don't think it's not unbearable, because some of my professors don't like math. But then again, the system has changed with more emphasis on math.</p>

<p>I still want to do research and write papers, so what are my options?</p>

<p>My friend suggested economy sociology, don't know what that is, but it sounds fun.</p>

<p>judging by the fact that you don’t know what sociology is, I assume you aren’t in college yet. You have nearly a decade before you have to decide what you wan’t to do for your PHD. Go get an undergrad and a masters, and come back here if you’re still confused.</p>
