TrueTears:
I have never done commerce before and I'm already finding it interesting lol

ReVeL:
^ There you go.

QuantumJG, Uni is really scary. Nobody knows who you are and it's harder to make friends - been to only two tutorials. The work is faster paced and generally there's a lack of motivation to do it :P How are you finding your (second?) year?

Ilovemathsmeth:
tram, I took Actuarial over Accounting because I love Maths WAY more than I love Accounting (which I love a fair bit :P). Maths is very exciting, it's the only subject where I don't feel the work is a chore. The pay is also good, which appeals to me too (I love money too).

That's a bit of a generalisation, no?

Yes it is a generalisation to say this, but I believed it to have truth in it. Obviously it isn't the case for everything. The dream job would be a fun-high paying job, but people do need to make some tradeoff.

I think thats pretty unfair. Yes many people do commerce for money, but quite a few are generally interested. Some areas are quite dry but theres also some very interesting stuff. I mean, I could say people doing Law are only motivated by money because after doing a Law subject I found it somewhat boring - but I don't because I know people that enjoy it.

I made a generalisation in an area that I don't really know a lot about. Re-reading this sounds like an attack (not intended).
