I've seen first year Econ questions, it was such basic maths I genuinely thought it was fake
Undergrad Econ is a bit of a joke.
Post graduate Econ is considered one of the hardest degrees, and used to have one of the highest salaries upon graduation.
Those cancerous recommendation algorithms that are the result of optimising millions of live A/B tests? Designed and constructed by Econ PhDs.
It was as a science, but I think it's probably a difference in perspective. I studied maths so saying linear algebra as the most difficult part kinda proves my point in my mind.
