To combine with Arts, or not to combine with Arts. (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Blonde]

Right now I'm doing B. Eco and considering switching to Eco./Arts next year. My reason for this is purely to satisfy my interest in pursuing arsty subjects to add a little variety to my life and indulge in literary pleasures...but the extra 2 years puts a bit of a downer on it.

In terms of getting a job later on, would having just a B.Ec make that much difference to having a combined degree with Arts? Is it really worth doing the extra 2 years?

the only reason for you to combine with arts is because you want to do a language or maybe to pursue politics.

other than that it might be for general interest.

im dropping arts if that helps because id rather just do a random selection of interesting subjects through economics liberal studies.

How do you get rid of an arts graduate on your doorstep?

i've been told that combined degrees are preferred by many graduate employers as they can see that you've had a much more diverse educational experience etc.

but having said that, if you're a great candidate it won't matter that much, so it's really up to you - it's really a toss-up between time and your interests.
