"Economics is a subject I enjoy because it is something that can be applied on a day to day basis. From government organisation to everyday taxes that will affect us, there is a vast range of intriguing aspects to it. It is a subject that is over-looked and under-appreciated when it comes to people my age. However, the knowledge gained from it will benefit everyone who does the subject greatly, in everyday life."
