    Hi Andrew, thank you for this insightful video. I was thinking of switching major from Life sciences to Economics but not quite sure it would be the right choice.

    Hey Rachel, it might help to write down the reasons to stay on the left and move on the right. Check out the actual Economic modules and see if the overview makes you excited to take them or not. It's hard to say what we want to do in future, but it's easier to decide what we want to do now. Good luck!

    Hello Andrew, thanks for such an informative video! With your own honest opinion, do you think someone with little JC maths knowledge will struggle in Economics degree? Love your channel’s content btw :)

    Hey Pen thanks for your feedback, I don't think one would struggle as you can learn from practice. I don't find it that complicated compared to JC maths and it takes more logic to understand the story behind the numbers. Hope that helps.

    Hi! I’m thinking about applying to NUS economics major. What is the average salary after graduation? I can’t seem to find the data online and would greatly appreciate it if you would give me some general numbers.
