    commerce majors

    Not accounting, thats a seperate career to engineering rather than a compliment to it. Def. economics or econometrics i'd say. Its a respectable branch of study that people value not so much for actual knowledge but just the skills and reasoning encompassed. Ultimately nothing you learn...

    Question About Double Major In Accouting + Finance

    Word of warning: acct/fin double major at UNSW has 0 room for leeway... i.e. every course you choose has to either go towards one of your majors or CA. I think anyway.

    UNSW vs. UTS which is better Must decide quickly!!

    Con is on the ball. If you want accounting, BAcc. No doubt about that. If you're unsure, Com/Law. "well bacc isnt constrained only to accounting as the other dude said!" This is true. But the degree only offers a real advantage to people who want to pursue accounting. He'll get little...

    Need degree advise BIG TIME...

    I think the problem with that suggestion though is the assumption that by going to uni people will automatically know more about what career they would want. Most people I talk to just say "investment banking" and appear to have no idea what it even is and simply base their choice on what...

    Which should I major in?

    Stupid question. Accounting has better job security in accounting. Do you want to work in accounting?

    number of places in a commerce course?

    I'd guess it'd be roughly the number of spots available across all of the lecture streams for one of the first core courses? So like 250 + 250 + 200 + 200 + 150 for example?... Times by three... Wouldn't be *that* far off I'd imagine?

    Need degree advise BIG TIME...

    If you want to pursue a career in accounting --> ca --> corporate world in general, or accounting -> finance back-office ... then com/law is a waste of time and you are far better off doing the cadetship. My justification is that the above career paths greatly value people with experience in a...

    Career Pathways, Job Security and Lifestyle...

    Financial planning can be pretty damn sweet if you land yourself a job at a boutique firm. A mate of mine had the right connections, left uni after a year to go work on the gold coast with a small company. 6 figure by 23 years old. I think the major lifestyle pro of the field is that your job...

    Comm International vs BAcc?

    Re: 6 months off The cadetship works as a 2+2 whereby the latter half is full-time uni. Under the contract, they'd expect me to get back to work say, start of 2011. Since i'll be finishing university 6 months earlier they won't expect me back to work 6 months earlier - for all their client...

    Comm International vs BAcc?

    if you're just after accounting then UTS won't hold you back. Shouldn't be a factor in your decision against it. 6 years part-time? strange company for a cadetship. Most are 4 years. I'm currently doing a cadetship /w unsw. unsw is no doubt the better campus (uts: what campus?)...

    Is finance and accounting the same?

    short answer: no long answer: no, you douche

    IPT Scaling

    Scaling isnt that bad. Just get a good result and you'll be fine. Agriculture was my top UAI contributor and its a very bad scaling subject. (And no i didnt go to ruse either)

    Repeating the HSC?

    Get into the actual uni you like with any course, get straight D's for a semester and then transfer to almost any course there is. Only wont work if you got something reallllllly low.

    Hsc 2007 Results..not Happy?were You Treated Unfair? Read This And Sign My Petition!

    Re: Hsc 2007 Results..not Happy?were You Treated Unfair? Read This And Sign My Petiti I am willing to make the bet that there is a linear relationship between people's HSC results and their understanding of scaling. But hey... even if they did remove scaling... you'd just get a mass of...

    Commerce (majoring in Marketing) questions

    Law gives a competitive edge on some ultra-competitive jobs, like in IB etc. If you're planning on an accounting career its rather useless as CA incorporates all the law you need to do. Marketing career useless also because any commercial company would have a dedicated legal team to...
