should I take HL (higher level) economics or psychology? (I’m new to IB and I have no pre-existing knowledge on these subjects)

@rosy78 , choose based on your interests. Talk to older students at your school who have done both. Look at the textbooks. It will take more engagement than your SL classes, so it’s important that you like it!
A lot of ideas in economics are interesting, but they are explained through math and charts, so if that puts you off, psych might be a better choice.
thank you, ill ask around. I think that I would be more interested in psych but I feel that studying econ would be better for my future because I would like to go into business for uni because I feel that later on, I would have more options if I were to study business/econ than I would if I were to do psych. does that make sense? I’ve talked to some people because I’m not sure what I would like to do in the future whereas I feel that many kids my age have already decided or got a basic idea, and most people have recommended going into business or econ because it’s quite a wide spectrum. so I guess my problem is that if I do decide to go with psych I worry that I wouldn’t know what to go into for uni.
