What are all Comm/Law people thinking of majoring in? (1 Viewer)

[Komit]

I have no idea. I'm tossing up between Finance and Commercial Law, but then again, I have no idea.

Maybe accounting, only because it's the most interesting commerce subject i've come across so far. I'll see how CLAW is once i can start choosing subjects..

You can major in Comm Law even though you do LLB already?

WTF?

 

[= Jennifer =]

i didnt think you could major in commercial law...if u did an llb cause my cousin did commerce (comm law) and she said she had heaps of law people in her class since there are law subjects

Commerce - Finance (the cream) / Accounting (the insurance)

Law - not sure if there are 'specialisations'...

but basically: commercial subjects such as intellectual property law, media law...

and the ones that are offered to commerce students but given to us in a slightly harder course: corporations law, taxation law...

and torts/contracts/property/equity are compulsory

What do you mean by the cream and the insurance?

La~Creme~Da~La~Creme for finance...LoLz?
Insurance=job security for accounting.


oimnidragon, no specialisations in LLB but you may choose a few electives like family law, international law in your 4th year onwards....etc.


and no, i didnt think u could major in bus law if u were doing an LLB already.

I dont think finance should be seen as the cream of the crop, seeing as anyone can do it (and a lot do).

Also, i think you can major in comm law (commerce) with an LLB at sydney. It wont be a direct path but you can organise your units so you do.

commercial law and llb are completely different. you can major in comm law with llb. law kiddies are such boring mong-heads. major in political economy you shitbricks.

You're right. Anyone can get into finance. But then again, anyone who even puts a fair effort into year 12 can get into any field in commerce in Australia in any university.

Actuary is probably the cream seeing it's prob the hardest...

Unfortunately, jobs are limited and I'd hate to put all my eggs into one basket.

So I would chose finance b/c one can aim for something as good as actuary (investment banking), if not better, and still fall back on something if that goes wrong (corporate finance).


So here's my plan:

1. Investment Banking at top 5 finance firms (more cream more cream...)
2. Corporate finance at big 4 (pretty good... bit disappointed tho)
3. Investment banking at mid-tier firm/clerkship at law firm (hmm... not over yet)
4. Taxation at big 4 (zzzzzzz)
5. Accounting at big 4 (nearly begging on the street)
6. Dole (begging on the street)

You consider corporate finance at EY better than a BDW clerkship?

by the way, 011, I know I probably shouldn't take your signature 'quote' literally, but I'd just like to point out that I am willing to volunteer to work in animal welfare for free, and probably will do so part-time during the holidays and after finishing uni. Of course, if I could make a decent living out of that I'd cancel my degree entirely right now.

I know some may react adversely to it but keep in mind that it's not meant to be true for everyone by a long shot, and it was written by someone who is for the most part a ranting cynic.

Yea... mainly b/c law is not my cup of tea. I enjoy presentation etc... but I like maths more.
