Combining Physics and Economics: A Worthwhile Pursuit?

[Hierophant]

Is this uncalled for? Especially if I am 21-22 entering these studies?

What do you think about this? How long would this take?

Thanks.

I actually have a double degree in Astrophysics and Economics. I would say, my economics degree is not really doing anything for me at the moment, because I chose to pursue physics. But it doesn't hurt really, it gave me a couple more options when I was applying for graduate school.
