BS Econ or appeal for IE/Stat/Math?
Hi! So luckily, I was able to get a slot in UPD for BS Economics, which was my first choice. Kaso right now, I'm having second thoughts kasi napansin kong medyo limited ang major scholarship options for BS Econ. Wala siya sa priority courses ng DOST, and hindi rin siya pasok sa CHED Bagong Pilipinas Merit Scholarship. Because of this, I'm thinking of doing a qualifiers appeal sana to shift to BS Industrial Engineering, BS Statistics, or BS Math, assuming may available slots pa.
To give you some context, my ultimate goal after graduation is to work sa finance field and earn a lot right away. I really want to help my mom retire from her work as soon as possible, kaya practical opportunities talaga ang priority ko. Given my options, which of these courses would give me the best career leverage and high-paying entry-level roles? Saan ba ko mas madaling yayaman or like makakakuha ng high-paying corporate or finance jobs pagka-graduate?
Super torn ako if I should stick with Econ despite the lack of scholarships, or if I should take the risk and appeal for IE, Stat, or Math. Would appreciate any advice, career insights, or experiences from seniors from these programs. Thank you so much!
