Which Degree you think i should go for (1 Viewer)

[powlmao]

Basically i have interests in the Economics/Business/Law Area and i have found a few degrees

Economics and Acturial Studies Degree- 4yrs- 96 ATAR
Economics and Law Degree - 5yrs- 97 ATAR

I am really considering doing the Economics and Acturial Studies degree because i am having second thoughts about law because i dont want to do it when im older, i just wanted to learn more about it.

Any suggestions of degrees???

Economics is lovely.

1) Economics is pissweak until possibly honours. Keynes was a dickhead.
2) Why do a double degree when you could have your stage II actuarial exams/CFA done by the same time
3) Why do a double degree when you can do hons and invest more time into actually getting a job?
4) Why do actuarial when it takes 10 years of studying to pass the exams?

Only Stage III matters to make you FIAA qualified which lets you sign off on a few forms - this is just for insurance.

You might want to weigh up a MSci/PhD in statistics against the FIAA like I did.
