Re: Sydney economics vs macquarie applied finance?? (im interested in finance) Yeah you're pretty clueless..

I'd say useful if you learn something actually useful for employment in Arts, such as languages. If you do something like Ancient History or Greek Literature, then I'm not so sure.

Better for the top jobs in Commerce. Go for UNSW. You'll fit classes into 3 days so you'll travel less overall. USyd timetabling is very inflexible.

BIS if you have to choose between those two. Commercial Law leads to pretty limited job opportunities IMO.

This is correct. She's in Communications in a somewhat PR role. Not investment banking.
