This thread is about the uni course you want to do.

Mine is an Applied Finance with a Economic Degree

 

[The Derivative]

I am so confused, I don't know what I want to do in life anymore
I wanted to do medical science, and then changed to medicinal chemistry, and then changed to be a pilot, and then be an engineer but I don't do physics so I can't, and now i'm considering pharmacy but I here career prospects are bad for that

 

[powlmao]

That differs fields so much.

I originally wanted to do Law but changed to economics. Now it is going between Commerce/Economics.

I have thought about doing a Commerce degree, double majors of Economics and accounting with a Law Degree maybe

You could always choose to do a general degree like B. Science and then either transfer to another degree or just establish your majors.

and somewhere between the period I wanted to join the airforce to be a pilot, and the period where I considered engineering, I wanted to do a commerce degree and do actuary or accounting or something like that.

Cheers, thanks for the heads up.

I'm not too sure how Intermediate Macro is going to pan out considering I will be doing it in Semester 2 but if it is anything like Introductory Macro, I'm going to find it difficult.

it's more complicated than just finishing a degree to actually become an actuary

 

[powlmao]

To become an Actuary you need to finish the degree and external examinations from my knowleadge

 

[Shadowdude]

If I'm right, that UNSW commerce degree in Actuarial Studies exempts you from 2 of the 3 Institute of Actuaries exams. You still have to take a further exam to become an actual actuary.

I believe you are right from what i know. After your degree you just need to finish a last course/exam

yeh i no. after you finish uni u do exams in ur preferred field e.g life insurance etc. and then if you pass u become a member of the actuarial society

Sounds interesting...

 

[LoveHateSchool]

I assume you can tick off Cowboy Prostitute haha?

I'm not sure. Firstly, I'm not sure if I want to do a broader bachelor and then specialize in masters or do a really concentrated bachelor that's more designed for a specific job?

I know I want to do something in the area of Science/Health Sciences/Medicine, the trouble with medicine is that I'm not sure if I have the aptitude for it. Also, it's so hard with the UMAT/interviews to get into undergrad-I hear it's easier to get into grad medicine doing the GAMSAT then straight out of school! Also if I do a MBBS, it's a course that it's really had to go on uni exchange for, you most likely have to change to a MBBS/BofArts and add time to an already really length course. But then again, paying for bachelor courses is cheaper than paying for a masters hmmm....

Unis I'm really interested in are UofMelb (I'm a Kwong Lee Dow scholar, so that's also an incentive), ANU (good uni except Canberra is the boring city), UNSW and USYD.

That was my guess as well.

 

[powlmao]

You might be able to tick off Prostitute as well
