With the B Engineering/commerce course, what commerce major would go well with Civil Engineering?
I'm thinking of accounting or finance right now ... but really, I have no idea

+ between accounting and finance, which one involves more maths?
(the reason i ask is cuz I prefer doing maths rather than writing essays)

Finance is more maths orientated I'd say. Theres some finance-y maths in management accounting as well as some of the options valuation and financial instruments stuff in financial accounting, so theres quite a bit of overlap.

Both have exam questions where you have to write like 2 pages on theory etc.
I'd say accounting has a lot more general business-y stuff, whereas finance is much more applied economics (though so is accounting a bit I guess)
