I recommend you do a Bachelor of Think This Shit Through @ the University of Common Sense.

Why the fuck would you decide your future based off what people on the Internet say? :S

commerce/law.

ah yeah cool.

read up on both courses, and choose the one you like the most. Remember both may require you studying a language. At the end of the day it's your decision on where you go (not bos'). Perhaps it might be worth posting some specific questions about the course on the anu forum. Or calling the 1st year lecturer?

I really think you don't need to worry as much, you've limited yourself down to 2 choices (much better than many students). they both have the same UAI, and it may be possible to transfer between courses (tba).
My advice, do some further research and then choose the one you think you would enjoy.
Good luck

I dunno man, perhaps you should call asio yourself or do further research yourself. I hope you're not just taking the advice of people here.

Do Nursing - Now the most versatile degree in the world I think!

Law, Business, Marketing stuff, Nursing practice, OH&S, Consultancy, pre-hospital, Government, Defence Forces...

List goes on and on, never actually have to get your hands dirty with most of that either...
