Im currently in my first year in International Econ and Business Econ program at Erasmus rotterdam and Im debating switching to econometrics next year.
Econometrics here is really mathematical and rigorous, while the Econ degree only goes into Multivariable Calculus and some linear algebra. Im naturally good at maths and enjoy them and I am debating if I should sacrifice my high GPA and one year and switch to Econometrics next year?
People often say its a better degree, is it worth it? Or would I be making a stupid choice?
I plan on after my bachelors to try and get into a top uni like LSE for my masters.
Is an economics or an econometrics bachelor more worth it?
