Guys I think I made a dumb decision changing from Economics to Phycolgy?
School has started and one of the classes I was kinda looking forward to was economics- it wasn't as interesting and exciting as i thought it would be and I like all my classes. But on the first day of my economics class- I got a bored vibe from the class and the teacher kinda. So i went to my counselor immediately the next day and asked her if i could have my class switched to phycology- and luckily for me there was a phycology class that same hour too. So I've been there for 2 days and I don't even really like it. So far all the teacher really does is- lecture at us, talking constantly and he often tells us to "write this down". In short so far I'm bored- i thought phycology would be a little more interesting than this. What do you guys think about this? And which one of these do you think is better and I should better stay with. And which do you think is more useful?

Actually, there's not really very many jobs that require knowledge of either of those fields.
My best friend has a psychology degree ~ and she finds herself working in retail stores.
I agree that economics is pretty 'dry' stuff as well.
What did you expect psychology classes to be like? What else is there to do but talk about the subject? There's no equations to discuss; it's all concepts and theories.
If I had to choose which one is 'better', I'd go with economics. At least you are learning about things which you will encounter in real life, such as the concept of inflation. In an odd way, at least you'll understand why your dollar has less purchasing power than it did 5 years ago, for example. You'll be able to see such trends and even make adjustments to your own finances to make the best financial moves for your future.
