Switching to Economics

<p>I was originally planning to do some sort of Engineering (maybe Comp. Eng, or maybe CS) but have been bouncing back and forth for a while. I'm currently doing all sciences (Bio, Chem, Physics) with Calculus on the way. But I'm of two minds about it. I don't particularly enjoy Chemistry, which is necessary for a lot of Engineering courses and the more advanced levels of physics seem to be just as bad for most of the people I asked. </p>

<p>I'm currently studying in Ontario, Canada, if that makes any difference.And while I can switch to the UK for undergrad under no circumstances am I going to study in America so I was wondering whether this would be possible: I was thinking of switching to Economics in general then double majoring in both Economics and Math (pure or applied, I haven't yet decided), or maybe even CS as a minor. </p>

<p>My problem is this: I have no idea which would be the better choice, from what I hear people with Engineering degrees -particularly in Chem Eng.- are really taking a beating right now, on the other hand I hear the same about Economics grads.My dad seems to think doing Economics to the Phd level would be good but I'm wary.</p>

<p>The prevailing logic on this site seems to be that any intensive maths course will net you good jobs, so I'm not sure whether to go with a Math focus and then tack on some Economics or Computing or to just stick with Engineering. Help?</p>
