I'm wondering if there are any commerce people out there who would recommend the course to one who isn't sure they should do it...hypothetically.

I'd recommend it only if you have a true interest in business, economics and mathematics (for first year anyway)

Most people would find accounting and quantitative methods boring, so go look at some textbooks and see if you can see yourself studying that for 3 years

For someone who does not know what to do but is in need of practacality, then yes.
If not then science or Arts would be good too.

Not anymore, you learn all kinds of skills like academic research, varied methods of presentation and how to roll a joint hanging upside down and blindfolded while sponge drunk.

most people who are puzzled about their interests tend to choose Commerce/Business

That's true

Explains why so many people doing Commerce at UNSW are like "Accounting is so boring!" or "QMA is so hard!"

If you were up for it, you could always combine your commerce with some arts or something...

I could not have survived this year without some arts subjects - pure commerce would have driven me CRAZY with boredom.
