Is public finance or econometrics a better elective to take

Is public finance or econometrics a better elective to take?
I'm an accounting major. Econometrics is a high 300 level course while public finance (another economics course) is the lower 300's and easier. The public finance course consist of the spending and taxation of public schools, social security, healthcare, environment and tax systems, according to the school catalog.

If you're an accounting major- econometrics should not be too tough for you. While public finance will probably be somewhat more interesting, econometrics looks better as it is perceived to be more difficult.

Econometrics is a religion, where one must enjoy self-flagellation and immense pain for absolutely no reason at all. Don't take it unless you want to learn everything and have lost your self-respect. Public finance is sort of interesting and can actually have a real world implication or two, depending on the teacher.
