So many of us here most likely have jobs or are studying. The majority of those with jobs work in fields fairly irrelevant to what we're studying. (Fast food/ retail) My question is, how do we convert those skills and get jobs in our fields. (For me it's IT/Business). But this...

Is it difficult to transfer from B.IS to B.Comm/IS ? Also... would the transfer effect how long i'm doing the course in any way?

You're talking about this degree or the major? By banking I mean, just broadly speaking, i'd like to go into the financial service industry, but i'd rather not go into the accounting/ auditing side. Just anything i'd be able to use my brain to both be creative and apply my knowledge/ skills...

If i went into uni with a combined degree and chose to pursue a specific course rather than the other, what's the go? As in, does it work that way? Do some unis not let?

are there any more favoured majors?
