Ugh, that sounds terrible.pLuvia said:It's more statistics than maths unless of course you take a maths major with it. You don't necessarily need to be a maths genius to survive this course it's more having an aptitude for thinking smart, you'll learn all the maths you need in 1st year maths anyway
You'll need to have a knack in manipulating mathematical equations, thinking beyond what is needed
You'll have to think logically and use your common sense. Most of the course is made up of some sort of statistics aspect, which I find is much more useful in practice then a straight maths degree
You're obsessed with telling people to do that...fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:B Commerce (Liberal Studies)@ Usyd
I appreciate that. But I will keep my options open. I would basically do any course that has one or more of my checklists.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:B Commerce (Liberal Studies)@ Usyd
1. maths related especially if you major in finance, economics, accounting etc.
2. commerce related (enough said)
3. teaching related if you major in education or you can do a dip ed afterwards
4. counselling related if you choose to major in psychology like me
5. no degree can guarantee you a grad salary of $100000+ and that is really rare for any grad however comm (lib studies) is probably the one of the closest degrees to get you there.
6. although nothing is guaranteed, most likely job prospects you will get will be white collar
7. again nothing is guaranteed but it is probably the one of the closest degrees to get you there.
8. yes you may be able to help people depending on your major.
Me tooAerath said:To be honest, I have no idea. Well, I have a list of "don't wanna be's", but I don't know what I wanna be.
1. Nothing medical, no optometry, pharmacy, doctor etc.
2. Maybe something law-ish?
3. Maybe something political-ish?
Not really sure.
Ah, yeah.... That's high on everybody's list of priorities.foram said:1) Anything involving shakespeare
2) Anything involving poetry
3) Anything involving critical analysis of texts
4) Anything involving working for extended periods of time in redfurn or blacktown or any other place with lots of drug addicts and other lower-class people likely to commit crimes which could endanger me or myself.
Lol that's on my 'dont wanna be' list too .foram said:Me too
My list of what I don't want to be:
1) Anything involving shakespeare
2) Anything involving poetry
3) Anything involving critical analysis of texts
4) Anything involving working for extended periods of time in redfurn or blacktown or any other place with lots of drug addicts and other lower-class people likely to commit crimes which could endanger me or myself.
Actually, it would depend alot on the number of places available... so there might a small number of people wanting to do your course but an even smaller number of places - pushing up the UAI.fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:If that is high on everyones priority list how come there is so much demand for usyd courses compared to other unis in the majority of their course? How come their is still people doing arts courses? The UAI arts course for Usyd is around 83 in 2008 its close to the UAI for some engineering degrees at usyd which is almost as much as some engineering courses. And also my course which involves some critical analysis - it has a UAI of around 98.35 in 2008. So no I dont think it is on everybodys priorities list.
Erm, it was sarcasm. People don't really choose degrees based on where they will get stationed (re: Foram's comment on Redfern and Blacktown).fOR3V3RPINKKKK said:If that is high on everyones priority list how come there is so much demand for usyd courses compared to other unis in the majority of their course?

So no I dont think it is on everybodys priorities list.
