Financial maths can be heavy.Korn said:
But then again i'd imagine its more of a skill in dealing with numbers rather than ridiculously hard calculus and such (though i'd imagine equations associated with finance are also complex).

Yeah I did the same thing, althought i emailed the HR Manager at Macquarie bank, she told me the exact same thing. You can have a credit average, but if you show that you've done alot of work experience, sport etc you have a very good chance of getting an interview.
That's why I spent so much time preparing applications for voluntary work experience in my chosen discipline. I finally got it with Sony Australia in their HR Department, after 2 rejections I was so persistent they actually gave it to me they were impressed by my motivation.
The HR manager at Sony told me that if I keep up my motivation levels and my persistency i'll get preety far. She earns over $275 K. So I'm preety happy.
Although I still want to pursue the legal profession, that's why im transfering into a combined Business/Law degree in 2006. So goodluck to me

Hmm, yet again I have forgot about actually thinking what sort of job I want.
I was going to do International Business as my Business major, and who knows what as my IT sub major (I do B Bus/B Comp).
Basically what are good jobs which earn rediculous amounts of money?
Also should I do Business or Business/Law or should I move unis?
Let's assume I can do anything, am capable of anything.

Shutter, DONT do International Business. AWFUL subject I hated it when I did it in first year as an elective.. I completely regret choosing the subject its so dodgy.. Do you go to UTS?
You'll have a wacko lecturer who just talks about how old he is getting and what we'll all be doing in the future.. and a wacko tutor as well hated the subject not structured at all!

Bah all the majors seem to terrible. Yes I go to UTS.
damn, im gonna be doin marketing and advertising majors, so i guess i wont be looking at big salaries then i guess(compared to IB and acct etc). wat happens if i want to get a executive postion later on in my career within a company, will it still be possible wit these majors or should i reconsider one of my majors(im sticking to marketing no matter wat, if i was gonna change i would change the advertising major). and would a honours for marketing imporve my chances in my career, or would it be a waste of time.

Mehh READ WHAT I SAID.
Korn, I'm just giving my opinion, no need to be rude. It's not like Shutter is going to listen to me anyway, I'm just giving feedback on what I thought of the subject. For all I know Shutter might really enjoy it. So next time refrain from making such comments because I didn't make them to deter other people from doing those majors it was all opinon thanks
