Which is better? Economics education or Economics?? by Nobody: 9:37pm On Jan 16, 2015
here's the thing, i have always wanted or still want to study economics but i didnt gain admission into the school i applied to. I later gained admission into another skul which i dont really like to study econs edu, i decided to accept the admission while i obtain another jamb form to switch to anoda skul to study economics....I started screening recently and they have bin advicing me against writing anoda Jamb that the course (econs edu) is good and all that, now am confused cos av already gotten another jamb form. So do u think i should continue with econs edu or go ahead to write jamb to study my dream course?

the truth is; from your post, you dnt seem to like Education..forget all that double honour watever and write UTME again...i also like the course Economics..and no matter how they paint it, Education is Education and Economics is Economics..choose whatever your heart desires!
Re: Which is better? Economics education or Economics?? by sammoe(m): 4:46pm On Jan 17, 2015
OP, first off, go ahead to write the UTME and see what comes of it.

Secondly, the difference between such courses is not in the quality but in the scope and orientation. In fact, some people would say education courses are better. Well, I think the "betterness" of a course would lie in the individual (his capabilities and aspirations), the school (sometimes) and the socioeconomic environment.

Ellemuah, have you resumed in the first school? If yes, then like someone has noted, you should have a fair idea of what it entails. Education courses are usually vast and demanding. You can make this a plus.
Best wishes.
