Advantages are often:
-Critical thinking, will always be skeptical of facts
-Independent thinking, you will be able to undergo your own analysis regarding several other facts in other fields than economics
-You meet several experts in other fields (for most)
-Your (social) science evolves constantly, thus you learn and have to keep up with modern research findings
 
Disadvantages:
-Can sometimes be prone to think too theoretically
-You tend to overthink facts too often
-Politicians (depending on the country) can sometimes take credit for your work but blame you if things go wrong (weather it is your fault or not)
-People think, when you study economics, that you will become a Banker...
