Economics is a subject that many claim that it is boring. It can be very theoretical. You will deal with models that are unrealistic, because the real economy is very complicated.

The above are the disadvantages.
The advantages is that you develop a new way of thinking. You can do your masters degree in any business subject, such as finance, management, accounting..
