whats the chance of getting a graduate job with a plain bachelor of economics. (1 Viewer)

[sghguos]

bachelor of economics majoring in finance and economics (credit average)

with not much work experience other than 2 internships.

Not much chance. That's the bare minimum qualification to get a job at maccas these days.

What would most people who get grad jobs have?

what would you recommend me to do if I ended up in that situation.

I was thinking of doing the master of commerce majoring in accounting and finance and hope to get a distinction.

maybe get 1 more internship during the 1.5 yeras

pathetic, asking a question repeatedly that has been answered several times in other sections of the forum just because you're too lazy to look for it.

How much of a disadvantage am I of getting a job for not doing accounting at UNI?????

Im doing a bachelor of economics at USYD. I am planning to "not" do accounting "AT ALL"..

I really want to work in finance. (corporate finance, etc...).


The question: Are employers less likely to hire me?

what are you on about??? the major doesn't mean much nor does the degree to an extent.... you could be doing biochem or engo for that matter and still work in finance

You've asked this question in a previous thread.. someone has already answered, it's not essential but it's ideal to have the knowledge.. if or when you actually get into finance.

accounting ideal but not essential
if you want to work in corporate finance, ask someone in that sort of role what they do on an everyday basis. my guess, is some accounting conceps, and if that is so, perhaps corp fins is not the sort of career you want to get into.

what do you like about finance anyway?

In short, I have a job and did a B Eco at UNSW. Did not do any internships or graduate programs. Stop worrying about getting a job.
it will just happen if you get an interview, interview well and then hoo-rah!
