How Is Economics Harder than Business?

<p>On a few forum threads, some people said that Economics was harder than business. How so? Is it solely because Economics is more theoretical, or are there other reasons?</p>

<p>Also, which degree has more promising job prospects? In other words, which degree tends to fare better in the job market?</p>

<p>I hear that Economics has much more higher level math.</p>

<p>This depends on the school and the degree program. It can vary widely. You really have to look at each on. Generally a BS will require more math, however a BA in Econ may be no more heavy then your Bus degree, or even less so. There is no singular answer for this.</p>
