What is a B.Comm like?
TrueTears:
Majoring in economics could lead you into the finance industry as they are closely related. Investments, property investments, banking etc.
Majoring in economics/finance will involve a lot of maths too.

IntoTheNewWorld:
Management is the worst subject ever. I hate it so much. Microeconomics is interesting though I guess.

For the Commerce students starting this year this year there are optional tutorials to take for those who want to do acturial studies as far as I know
EDIT: Copy and pasted from email
Dear ECC1000 or ECC1100 Student,
If you may possibly decide to follow the actuarial program within an Econometrics major over the balance of your B.Com or B.Ec degree, you should
take notice of the following!
To use ECC1000 & ECC1100, with high enough results (Av. 70%, min. 60% in each), to obtain exemption from the Institute of Actuaries subject CT7 Economics, you must attend additional tutorials (& pass a relevant test).
These tutorials cover utility theory, a topic not covered in economics lectures until 2nd year. It is, however, a necessary topic for
actuaries to become familiar with at an early stage.
On the Econometrics and Business Statistics Department (EBS) website look up the “Proposed Monash Actuarial Program Structure” page:
http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/depts/ebs/student/undergrad/actuarial/program.php
That page of the website has a link you can use to register your interest in the additional tutorials.
The tutorials are planned to take place at over two weeks in late April, early May, and will be followed by an assessment exercise the following week.
This information originates from Graham Forbes, Senior Lecturer Actuarial in EBS Department.
Kind Regards,
Student Services
Faculty of Business and Economics
