HELP with uni course!!!
« on: February 26, 2014, 07:27:56 pm »

Hi I am a year 12 student and unfortunately I am still indecisive about which course I want to do and I am starting to stress a lot. My subjects are English, maths methods, specialist maths, chemistry and I completed year 12 psychology (with a score of 35) and VSL Turkish (with study score of 40) as a year 11 student in 2013. By the way my strength is maths. I am currently considering bachelor of commerce. However I want to be clearer in terms of my career options if I successfully complete it.
What jobs can I pursue with a bachelor of commerce and roughly what would be the salary in relation to that?
And also which university would be best to study bachelor of commerce? I’m thinking of either Melbourne of Monash university but unsure which is best.
I would appreciate anyone’s help
Thanks

Commerce is a very broad field and salaries can range from $50k p.a. to $1,000,000+ p.a.
Some fields in commerce are more difficult than others, like actuary, some are super competitive in terms of employment like investment banking, some are relatively easy like accounting, some are mainly academic and won't get you employed like economics, etc.
Doing a degree in commerce doesn't necessarily mean that you will have a clear career path because if you hate it and are not passionate about it, you will not get get a high paying job.
Melbourne, in my opinion, is the better university for commerce. But your choice should be determined by distance. If you live one hour from unimelb and 20 minutes from Monash, then you should definitely go to Monash.
Since you say you are good at maths, have you considered engineering or computer science? They too have a clear career path if you are good enough at them.
