Economics+ Civil Engineering, Double degree, is it worth it?
So, I'm a sem3 final year A2 Level student from Malaysia and I'm thinking of pursuing Civil Engineering later in Uni. I have thought of diverging into the finance/ economics line, and have considered getting a CFA or Masters in Econs, as Economics is one of my favourite subjects. I also like Engineering equally as much because it is Math intensive, and covers my comfort subject, Physics. The question is, should i really do a double degree in Economics and Engineering? Is it really worth it, and is the workload going to be astronomically impossible?
