For example if I did bludge breadth subjects which were totally unrelated to my major/degree, would this be unappealing to them and affect their employing?

I’m pretty sure they skim through the subjects you’ve done in your degree, but like they aren’t gonna know what a bludge breadth is as opposed to a hard one (so don’t feel bad about taking something like painting techniques, if anything it looks better because it shows your a more multi-faceted employee)

That said, a breadth like ’Thinking sex’ or whatever it’s called isn’t gonna look great on one’s academic transcript haha

Haha true, it’s just that I might not want to opt for breadth subjects that I might actually be interested in since I need a high WAM, but yeah.

Too bad there isn’t a photography breadth subject though, that would be awesome

Yeah they take a quick look but they don't know how hard or easy things are. If it sounds hard they'll probs think its hard and if it sounds easy they'll probs think its easy but that doesn't really matter in the end. if you do things you are interested in then you will have something to talk about when they ask you about it. The biggest factor in picking breadth subjects should be how interested you are in studying it, the second factor should be the workload and third should be difficulty and you shouldn't care bout anything else (except like, pre-requisites for post-grad courses LOL). just do what u wanna do
