Economics & Managment or PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics)?

Hi everyone. I'm a 16-year-old high school student and I need your honest advice.

I've spent months trying to decide between two very different paths for university: Economics & Management and PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics). My dream colleges are Oxford, Yale, Wharton, and Harvard, but I'm struggling to figure out which major will actually make me happy and successful.

About me:

· My Holland Code is ESA (Enterprising, Social, Artistic) if that helps anyone.

· I love debating, public speaking, and writing.

· I'm not great at math, but I'm willing to work hard.

· I need a career that feels meaningful. I hate the idea of a boring, soulless corporate job.

Economics & Management feels more practical, safer, and faster to get a high-paying job. But I'm scared I'll miss deep intellectual debates and feel like a "sellout."

PPE is perfect for my love of ideas and politics. But I'm scared the job prospects are worse and that I'll end up as a "jack of all trades, master of none."

What I'm asking:

  1. For anyone who studied these: What was your actual experience?

  2. Which one has better career prospects, honestly?

  3. Can I still debate and write if I study business?

  4. If you regret your choice, why?

  5. Am I overthinking this or is this a real dilemma?

I'm posting here because I need advice from people who've actually lived this, not just adults telling me to "follow my passion."

Thanks in advance.

Help me choose a real name and a dark name for my Star Wars OC (fanfic with Kylo Ren)

What you need to know:

· Temporary name: Malaika. Nickname: Mika. Age: 18

· Daughter of Elise Alunea, a betrayed Queen of Naboo executed by the First Order when Mika was 5.

· Born during an extremely rare lunar event called the "Triple Convergence", when the three moons of Naboo aligned.

· Grew up exiled in Villa Varykino, Lake Country, Naboo (the place where Anakin and Padmé got married).

·Her hair color is a mutation caused by her origin (her mother was barren and was healed using a Sith crystal that contained the essence of a Diathim angel).

· 27,700 midi-chlorians. Very powerful but untrained.

What I'm looking for:

  1. Her real name (Naboo royalty style):

Needs to sound elegant, melodic, and flowing — like Padmé, Jamillia, Sabé. Should fit the musical style of Naboo names. She goes by "Mika" as her everyday nickname.

  1. Her dark name (Sith/Imperial style):

She accepts Kylo Ren's offer and becomes his co-ruler and takes a dark name. This should be the complete opposite of her real name — sharp, cold, powerful. Think "Kylo Ren", "Darth Vader". Something that sounds like a Dark Lady of the Empire. Only her enemies and the First Order call her this.

Additional notes:

· Her mother's name is Elise Alunea (can be changed if needed).

· I love names with meaning. Her temporary name Malaika means "angel".

· I'm open to changing both the temporary name and the nickname if you have better ideas.

Hit me with your best ideas!
