Econometrics is math heavy. There are useful elements within the study of econometrics and managerial microeconomics, such as demand forecasting, but a lot of economics in general involves human behavior, preferences, utility, and rationality.

Example, in microeconomics workers get paid their MPL, marginal product of labor. That works on paper and probably in reality at some point in time, but in the current year, half the workforce is made up of fake jobs and diversity hires that get paid to be racial tokens. Economic models aren't based around real world economies where coercion and corruption are just as powerful as the invisible hand.
