    Working in Big 4 Accounting Firm

    What do you mean by that? Do you mean working in the IBD, or working for a IB? People tend to get them confused, but either way its competitive. Generally you have 1 yr of being a grad, then you have a 3.5 year analyst stint, then do an MBA or PhD then go be an assosciate.

    Best place to Study Medical Science

    Honours is easy to get into. But getting selected into the MBBS is based on first 2 years of med sci. i.e. your wam. I wouldnt rely on it, as iirc its only 15 ppl who make it. But at least you can try for grad courses afterwards if you want.

    finace & econometrics vs finance & maths

    The thing is the traders I have spoken to have finance degrees. (not that I have spoken to many). And actually what would be better? The com degree then the msc in financial maths or a bsc/bcom?

    finace & econometrics vs finance & maths

    Thanks. Econometrics sound more applied to finance though. Not sure if I should bother with another year of uni for the bsc, when I guess you could do a masters in financial math in the same time, and have two shots at grad programs?

    hours in science :(

    12 hours a week for those 2. You can skip bio lectures and chem lectures, but you'll have to read the book in your own time to master the material.

    finace & econometrics vs finance & maths

    What is better a BCom (finance/econometrics) (maybe with honours?) or a BCom(finance)/Bsc(maths). Bear in mind the later is 4 years. Which would be better if you are an aspiring trader (factor in the portability of the degree since getting a grad trading position is small).

    Reasonable hours and the law

    So you mean just M&A? Dont see why you are mad, are you wanting to be an investment banker and don't like sales/trading? Not real solid just quoting one job as an example. And 114 hours came from surgeons working 3x more than nurses. And once again templar is talking out of his ass.

    Reasonable hours and the law

    Sigh. Turtlefaces figures are way off the mark. I know quite a few euro ibankers who do 60 hours a week. Traders and sales people. Doctors don't always get overtime. At quite a few city hospitals, you dont get it. Surgeons dont work 114 hours a week.

    pre-requisites,summer and overload

    I'll clear it up. The 7 years of EFTSL is not worth worrying about since I doubt you would actually need that time to complete a 3 yr degree. You would be kicked out before than (excluded for 2 years to be precise). Rekkusu, you will be fine. I think you have been reading too much MSO ;)

    Degree Questions

    Different unis are recognised in different countries. The fact that UNewcastle has a Bmed degree, instead of the conventional naming of MBBS or MBChB makes no difference.
