I’m a commerce/finance double degree student thinking about what commerce major to pick to pair with finance. I think I enjoy economics, particularly macro but the value of econometrics keeps coming up.

If my desired career is in finance, and my interests (while broad) are investing, banking, possibly trading, what would be a better choice.

I’m aware of the maths difficulty involved in econometrics, and it does worry me a bit, because while i’m good numerically and statistically, i have trouble with more complex maths like calculus and probability, although I don’t want to rule it out because i can pass with some effort.

Thanks for any advice

I’m done with my first semester of Commerce/Finance double degree after transferring from Deakin Law/Com.

Am i wasting my time with the double? Should i just be doing BCom and majoring in finance, supposedly it only makes a minimal difference to employers.
The double allows me to major in something else on the commerce side, like economics which I enjoy, so there’s that, but i could still do a double major in the single degree, although the business team advised me that i wouldn’t have any elective space for any international programs or anything like that, which i’m keen on doing. Then again, they also say that with my credit, i don’t even have space for an exchange program in the double degree.

Anyone have any advice ?
