To continue with college or not?

it won't benefit you at all. A BS in even straight biology isn't that good, never mind psychology. A BA is less work. Just go for the straight econ degree and minor in psych. It will be useful in marketing.

You know, why do you want to do science?

Never compare with others. Compare with yourself. If you make even a tiny step of improvement every day, you're good.

Thanks, Chillfactor.:) Umm... I want to do science because I think it's really cool. I like how it doesn't have anything subjective. It just offers you the facts and logic, and let's you make your conclusions. (AP Lit has made me kind of phobic to take any courses that are subjective, even though I know that is just silly).

Chemistry is okay, but if possible, i don't want to take oChem. i think physics is really darn interesting because it describes all the universe works, but I wouldn't be able to go further than general physics. I often look at stuff and wonder how people are able to keep things from collapsing and stuff.

I used to be a Christian. After I converted to Atheism, I started to appreciate Science soo much, because it betters peoples' lives and because it keeps us from believing in mythical, oppressive nonsense. (Sorry to offend any Christians out there. I just want to explain why I like science).

Plus, i would feel kind of left out when my friends are talking about topics in science and I can't join in :(

Ok. You are interested in science; that's great. However, economics is not really a physical science. Much of the economics you will learn, will involve math and statistics about things that you can't intuitively see, and with rules that seem to have little basis in the real world. Can you handle abstraction?

In the two fields you labeled, there is plently of subjectiveness. That's why we have arguments over the fundamental nature of economics that just cannot be resolved because everyone starts from a different position. Sure, there are things that are generally true, but the more economics you learn, the more subjective it can get. The same applies to Psychology.

Thanks guys. :)

Also, my university (UC Davis) only offers a B.A in Economics. Assuming that I wouldn't be able to attend/get admitted into grad school, is there any value for a B.A in Economics in the job market?
