i’ve never felt so lost regarding my career choice because every option i’ve considered somehow has the worst job market known to man with everyone trying to go for it. e.g. quant trading becoming the new IB, or unsw actl at 99 atar cus of demand. Then there’s compsci/software engineering which everyone says is doomed. am i just a sheep for jumping onto the bandwagon everytime; is aus job market just that fucked in general; or is it selection bias where obv everyone on forums and reddit are gonna pick the nerdy shit?
it doesn’t help that i have zero passion for anything. i just don’t wanna be living on the streets bro. i did SACE so idk mark equiv but for internals i got A+ for eng advanced and econ, A- for math advanced and chemistry, and A for research project. i got an early entry offer for law/comm alr but i lowkey hate law so i don’t wanna do it even though i’m stronger in humanities. maths i’m decent at and more interested it, i just slacked off this year icl, and also i didn’t do the SACE equiv of ext 1&2 so i’m kinda barred off from a lot of math-y courses unless i do a bridging course.
i put double actl for my top uac pref followed by engineering but idek if i could handle the math rigour for it or if i’d even get a job post-uni that’ll make my parents proud. atp its <$150k or nothing with how things are rn. fml
are there any good, well-paying careers that are sorta finance/STEM-adjacent that are niche and/or have labour shortages?
