    Hi,
    I'm researching this as an option for career.
    I'm thinking that Home Ec with RE would be fairly common.
    If I was to do Home Ec with Economics, would I also be qualified to teach Business.? I understand from other posters that it Economics is sometimes called consumer studies so not sure if that makes a diff.

    I would rather do ok of these options as opposed to Irish or Biology.


    Would love to hear from teachers, Home Ec teachers or ppl considering this course

    Thanks in advance

    Jobs wise, the Home Ec. will swing it.

    As regards the elective, every school offers Religion, some as an exam subject. Economics is not widespread and there is an over supply of business teachers.

    Home Ec. and RE, though you'll probably only teach Home Ec..

    If you had a very good standard of Irish, Home Ec. and Irish and you could almost pick your own job.

    Well what really matters is what interests you.There's no point choosing religion if you don't have any interest.I'd be of the opinion economics would look better to employers/may benefit you more in your life,but each to their own.
