Business or pleasure? (1 Viewer)

[DAAVE]

So why are you doing your degree?

To make money, or because you are interested in it?

Me? A little from both columns.

 

[timrie6]

purely for interest. career plans will come later.

 

[absolution*]

Mix of both. It would be kinda stupid to pick something with no career prospects, or something i would hate doing. I thin kive found a happy medium.

 

[timrie6]

well i want to combine arts with something later on, or do honours. and i figure, for the honours or extra degree i will put some thought in careerwise

 

[SeDaTeD]

Chose mainly because of interest, but it does have career options so that's another bonus.

Yeah, thats smart. One of my fave teachers at school did that.

 

[berghousemaa]

Pleasure mainly. using B Arts and Sciences as a base for post grad studies.

 

[eshi]

BA for pleasure...hopefully it'll give me some post-grad opportunities and I'll have some fun in the meantime.

Ditto here !

 

[LazyBoy]

same, beeing a teacher with BAS i can do a broad mix of subjects that interest me and still have a career path. but id really like to do a Doctor of Philosophy course eventually.

 

[matt#1]

Yeah, i'm doing my course for a mix of both of those reasons as well. I don't think that many people are stupid enough to do a course that they hate, or one that won't eventually land them a job.

a little from column A, a little from column B!!

I wanted to do serious comm / eco subjects but also have time to do interest subjects like history and politics

commerce for pleasure software engineering cuz im an insecure fuck but i would admit to sayign that if the commerce cut off was 85 at unsw, and the software engineering was 95 i would be going for software engineering purely cuz of the cut off- i wanted to do science advanced but finance is just so hard to get into, i dunt have the confidence

well i chose biomedical engineering cos i thought it would be interesting...but then i combined it with commerce for career prospects. But since the time i chose my course, i have a new found interest in finance and the stock market so it looks like both my degrees are out of interest in the end.....all worked out perfectly for me!!
