I was thinking of double majoring in English and Economics... what type of careers could this open me up too? Oh.... and this is my first post!

just curious, why english?

It's probably my best subject, plus I enjoy it! Is there a better option or something?

Oh, and if I do double major, how many mandatory courses/electives can I take? Yeah... grade 11 high school student here..... not too well-informed... lol

you would be taking 10 courses a year, 5 a semester, after doing a level one program you'll have three-five courses of electives usually with a double major.

That being said, don't worry, you're still in grade 11. When i was in grade 11 I wanted to go to Guelph to study sociology and anthropology, then go to law school. I decided to go to Mac instead, and now I'm getting my Bachelor of Social Work. It's nice to have an idea about what you want to take, but things can always change.

Thanks for the reply! One more question.... is there a marketing course? I love that stuff haha

Yes there is a second year Marketing course for Social Sciences.

SOC SCI 2MR3 Introduction to Marketing for Social Sciences

Sweet thanks!

How important is math in economics? As far as basic math goes I'm fine, but with complex math and that stuff I a) don't like it and b) am bad at it. I know grade 12 math is recommended for economics people (but not required) but how important is it, really?

grade 11....

..... yeyeye
