Which major is better?

Question

should i major in political science, business administration, or economics?....and rank these 3 majors from easiest to hardest in your opinion.

Answer 1

Ranked from Hardest to easiest...

1. Economics
2. Business Administration
3. Political Science

Ranked from best major to worst...

1. Business Admin with a Finance or Management focus
2. Economics (very close second)
3. Political Science. If I could have ranked this lower I would have

Business Degrees are among the 2 most sought after in the U.S. The first is engineering. At 27 with only a bachelors in business I earn $95,000 a year. If however, you are planning on going on to pursue an MBA i'd say economics would be more helpful. Knowing the macro and micro tendencies of the economy is a big part of learning how to maintain a competitive advantage in industry.

Without the MBA an economics degree would pay less than a business degree, and a poli-sci degree is really far down the pipe. Many poli-sci and liberal arts majors only study those because they are easy, and companies know this.

Best of Luck.

Answer 2

Political science is probably the easiest -- but also the least useful.

As for the other two, it depends on the school. At most schools, economics is more rigorous than business. However, at the schools with the top business schools, business is more difficult.

Answer 3

it all depends on what you like and what you think you can do. I would assume that business administration is the best in terms of finding a good job with a good salary, economics next and then political science.

Answer 4

You'll do best in the one that interests you the most. Try picking up some books (not textbooks) at the library about each subject and see which ones you like the best.
