Which combination should I take that is more beneficial and holds more job prospects later on?
I'm definitely taking engineering - leaning towards electrical, mechanical and maybe aerospace/nautical or chemical.

Why do you want to do a combined degree? If i could choose again i probably would have done straight Engineering rather than combined. Seems like it's better getting out of uni faster and then doing an MBA afterwards rather than doing business or commerce - unless you are hoping to get into IB or something i guess.

What would you major in for science? There are some kind of useful combinations (i.e. Electrical + Comp Sci) but besides that i don't think there are many benefits unless you have a niche job interest.

I'm not too well informed in what paths to take during or after Uni.
My reasoning in taking a combined degree with commerce was that the business skills could be applied if I want to work higher up in management of an engineering firm. For the combined science, I find physics interesting and it does seem to link with engineering.
