Well, you can cut out any course above (presumably) 99, any course that required early entry, and any science course.

What about arts?

Perhaps you should look at some uni websites or talk to your career advisor, if you have "no clue". Picking a uni course isn't really something you should take too lightly, ergo it is not a decision you should base on the opinions of your peers from an internet bulletin board!

What kind of career are you interested in?

I'd say Actuarial Studies @ Macquarie...but u need to be a decent 4U math student to survive that course

else I'd do commerce(honours)/law with a major accounting
u'll be guarenteed a job if your good enough, and well paying too, depending on your job

Make a list of the subjects you like the most (not necessarily things you do at school.. things you're interested in outside school as well!), and consider whether you'd like to be doing that from 9-5 for THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS (or thereabouts).

Believe me, it cuts out a lot of options.

..... design? programming? professional beta testing? (well..)
IT if you're interested in the programming side of things.
Marketing, Commerce if you're interested in selling the final product

sitting on your arse all day IS IT, i have a few friends who can attest to this.. but despite the ok money it's NOT a fun job. + it's hard to get a good one, too.

commerce/finance is okay for a start, everybody will always like commerce students (don't ask me why)

ah i'm even more confused now

i don't mind doing courses with lower uai of course.

@natstar: if i can make enough money to retire at 40, then that is my definition of happiness

i play games and i'm clueless about comps

btw: got my uac guide today, damn all the laws are in 99s (in my preferred uniz), even acturial/law jumped to 99.10 in Macq

what if you dont know what sort of job you want and therefore have no particular course to help in your career and to add to that theres nothing that you really enjoy so you cant do a course based on that...
am i destined for a future as a bumb with absolutely nothing going for me?

Just make sure to put a course with a UAI cut-off of ~70 down the bottom of your UAC preferences, Frigid! (in case you leave out an essay in your English exam, for example)

that, my friend, can easily be solved by purchasing a pistol at one's local gunsmith and non-chalantly 'inserting' a clip into one's temple, whereupon one may see one's life flash before one's very eyes...
