Confused on which degree course to choose!

happiness is everything — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 01:05:14 +0800

I'm currently enrolled in UCSI's Business Admin Degree and went for the orientation to find out they offered a new course which is Finance and Investment. Class is commencing next Monday but I'm still uncertain with the course that I've chosen. Before I know about this new course I was already having a trouble choosing between Marketing and Business Admin and now since the new course appears it seems I have more thinking and considerations to do. And that is why I could really really REALLY use some help. The reason I post it here instead of education forum is cause I wish (and really need) some opinions from people who have graduated and are working - in short, experienced.

So between i.Marketing ii. Business Administration and iii.Finance and Investment
i. which is easier and fun
ii. which has greater career opportunity
iii. which has a better pay jobs
iv. what are the job scopes

Really need some good opinions so that I can make my decision ASAP before the seats run out!

And I've look through websites like jobstreet and some of the jobs list their requirement as e.g minimum bachelor degree in marketing or equivalent
what does this equivalent means? bachelor in business admin acceptable?

Anyone know what are the jobs available for bachelor degree holder for these courses
1) accounting
2) accounting & finance
3) marketing
4) business administration

Really like to know the jobs available for business administration as a course counsellor in a campus tell me that business administration degree holder job is most probably just an office lady. And I was also told that jobs with better salary is in logistic and marketing. I asked her if I would be hired for a marketing position by holding a business admin degree she said unlikely as im not specialised in it. Advice please~~

Can't decide which course to take

So the courses (BA(Hons)) in my consideration are
1) accounting
2) accounting & finance
3) marketing
4) business administration

I went to the campus today and enquired about the above degrees but somehow I think the facilitator isn't so reliable as what she said to me is kinda different from what I seen online ( I've checked a few websites before saying this).
So, I just wanted to know what are the job scopes for these four degrees? I'm quite into business admin but the faci says that I'll most probably be just an "office lady" by having a business admin degree but from what I checked online ( as well as the campus's brochure ) there are actually quite a number of interesting jobs instead of just office works. Anyhow, all these I believe are not as reliable as comments and suggestions from real-life experienced people. The faci also told me that the jobs that paid off better are the one requiring a logistic or marketing degree. I simply asked if anyone will hire me for a marketing position if I'm a business admin degree holder she answered me "not likely as I'm not specialised in it". So, I really need advice here. Help please thanks!
