Can you give us some more information - the two majors are polar opposites. Do you prefer numbers? What kind of job do you want after uni?

k kid, actuarial

advantages
- solid major, helps with finance alot
- develops numerical thinking & coding skills
- equips you with some technical skills that makes you think you are better than everyone else
- ego boost when you survive and see your peers drop/miss exemptions

disadvantages
- demoralizing with negative implications, if you do badly & is forced to transfer out of it. coz it kills your WAM (your university Weighted Average Mark), have to do additional subjects to meet e.g. CA requirements & it might give u an extra semester
- hard & pretty time consuming compared to everything else, though you will still have plenty of time to SC2 with your tutors
- you most likely wont enjoy it
- limited graduate employment opportunities (even with above average marks & a good resume)
