There are plenty of straight commerce people from usyd/unsw in BBIBs. You don't need to combine commerce with anything if you can maintain a HD average (dean's list every year) + win proper competitions like UBS IB challenge. I don't think many people on BoS actually work or have proper...

Lol a friend of mine didnt do any sciences and is smashing med. Another just did chem and is also smashing med.

That's not much different to Australia/NSW with the 'prevalance of newer law schools accepting subpar graduates'.

You can search up the internet - there is plenty of information on a government website I remembering looking up as well as job demands etc etc. At the end of the day, these aren't that important. There are ALWAYS jobs, you just have to be good enough to get them. Law is only difficult now...

Yes lol

Fairly sure I made it explicitly clear that law is not 'harder' or requires 'higher intellectual capability'? (pls see 'it is a lot of WORK, but conceptually, it isn't that difficult') There are engo/law students who received first class honours in both so difficulty probably isn't too different.

Are those full time jobs in their field or any full time jobs? Wouldn't be surprised if some are in retail etc. Engineering is a significantly broader degree with better opportunities across the board. Given that you are interested in it, fairly sure your parents will understand.

maybe because half of the arts/law students are actually dropkicks in law and scrape credits? Don't get me wrong, there are that top few who are excellent in Law units but the majority seem to struggle with law. On the other hand, people who come from science/maths background tend to do much...

A big 4 bank or IB? They would be similar i suppose.

Firstly you can just do straight comm and have an outstanding CV you'll get called in for an interview to an IB. As the others said, going to usyd/unsw has a lot to do with connections. Although it isn't the most important thing for grad roles - it does help if the bank knows you. Probably need...

I reiterate what I already stated clearly - complexity in the maths degree is not beyond someone doing well in finc. Just because they choose to do finance over a straight maths degree does not make them intellectually inferior in any way. That's the vibe from maths students on this forum. Its...

Maths is not harder. You are missing the point. Its not about 'look at the material we are covering' and 'look at how complex everything looks' - obviously Adv Maths questions will look complex to someone who doesn't do the degree - but it definitely is not beyond the capacity of most people...

I am certainly not belittling Mathematics or Engineering students. Obviously they will do more complex maths - that's the nature of their course. It's just the other way around - no need to belittle Finance. I wouldn't react that way to a mark of '90' in maths - first I would ask 1) which...

No. It's just false belief of superiority. It's always funny. This random engineering kid was parading around at the start of the first FINC unit last year of how finc is going to be a breeze everything is a joke etc. Doesn't even get a HD. You can't possibly call something easy and not get at...

Did you still have Andrew for IPM (portfolio)? We did go through the maths - he derived stuff etc but he did say we didn't really need it for the finals. Doing Derivs next sem that will definitely be more rigorous. According to my Vals tutors, finance is much more rigorous in usyd. Only...

This is the classic attitude of maths and engineering students who think they absolutely own finance yet don't come anywhere near ranking top 3 in a proper finance unit. 'It's a joke'. Did you even get a HD wam in commerce m8?

Haha classic, we all get relatively rekt by that one bs core unit in first year. It's good you're still smashing ECON - 95 would be top place for the course yeah?

Because hard to make sense of WAMs without knowing the course haha. 80+ is solid, well done.

Are you doing actuarial?

fuarrrrrkkk Aysce bra
