B Applied Finance / B Commerce-Accounting 1st year

I don't! I'd love to work in M&A or corporate finance. :uhhuh: I'm doing applied finance/commerce-accounting at macq. Is that a good start or should I have done comm/law?

Same as you sweet_lemon!

I'm tossing up between combining Commerce-Accounting with either Bus.Admin or Applied Finance next year, so if anyone could give me pros & cons about them it would be greatly appreciated. My uai was 95.85, so I should be right to get into either course. Thanks in advance.

How did you get your job at this bank, if you don't mind me asking? 'Cos I'm interested in working in investment banking in the future.

I went to the finance academy last year. It's basically a program where you learn about the different areas of the financial industry and investment banking. It was heaps of fun & if ur interested in this kind of stuff, it's worthwhile.

What about the applied finance/commerce double degree at macq. uni? Would that be more relevant? Also, i've been hearing that employment opportunities are better if you go to usyd or unsw. What's macq's reputation like in the financeial sector?

i love jeffrey archer books! i've got most of his collection because my dad's a big fan as well. I just finished "the fourth estate" and realli enjoyed it. all my english teachers hate him though.
