Hey guys. Im currently a first year student studying law and psychology at Macquarie University. Its a six years degree and a further two years to get my masters in psychology because a bachelors of psychology is useless so basically all together its a long eight years degree. Im wondering if its worth spending so much time on law and psychology and was considering changing to UTS and studying law/economics there. Whats everyones opinion?

It's a totally personal decision really dependent upon where your career goals lie.

Law and economics should/could lead you into many areas of law and would possibly hold you in good stead for a career in politics also,w psychology and law is useful in many areas of legal practice, particularly criminal and family law.
