Hello,

Economics is no doubt an excellent subject and is one of the esteemed subjects. As you like economics and want to pursue your future into it, you should do it. Delhi University colleges are not normal colleges, they are among the top rankers in NIRF and among 100 top universities in world. So Economics Honors from Delhi University is absolutely not a waste of time.

Colleges like Delhi School of Economics, Shri Ram College of Commerce, Lady Shri Ram College, Hindu College, Hans Raj College, etc. are best colleges for Economics Honors courses all over India.

After pursuing Economics honors there are many job opportunities that are with lesser work load and more paid than SSC jobs. For example, Financial Risk Analyst, Economic Researcher, Investment Analyst, Agricultural Economist, Business Economist, Cost Accountant, etc.

On the other hand SSC is a good option but an option with risk. Risk of whether you will qualify or not. So its better to pursue your dream.

Hope it helps.

All the best!!!
