Thread: Any business people here?

smac, go to the uni and state your intentions, meet the various careers advisors and lecturers, who should be very helpful - in my experience they generally are, as they love to talk

Mate, yep business person here . I did a Commerce degree, majored in Management and Marketing. It is more in the electives that can gear you to a particular area, whereas the foundation sublects covered a wide range of subjects from Organisational Behavior, Law, Accounting, HRM etc. Of course different uni's may have different structures,

Not English obviously

thanks guys
i wasnt sure how much help the uni career advisors would be. i went to one 'info center' and they just gave me a brochure!

but i will ring around to them and see if I can organise a time

You really need to know where you want to go in the end, as in what field.

Mind you, business and property will have the same/similar first year units and it will be easy to swap around later.

I have a BCom(Property), but started out doing accounting, then went and tried a double major in applied physics/computer programming and, after receiving a high distinction in Tavern 101, then moved to property.

12 years after graduating I bought my D3!

Make sure what you do you actully enjoy it as uni can be a lonley place if you dont like what you are doing. I have a business degree in HRM and accounting but hated every minute at uni. as i was doing it cause every one else was. During holidays i worked on a building site and loved every minute. When i completed my degree I signed up as an electrical apprentice at tafe. Best move i ever made!!!. I now run a very sucsessful electrical business specialising in smart home tecnology. 4 cars 2 landys the other 2 i wont mention as i will cop a bagging.and a house in sydney quite proud. So you will know what you will want to do after you do something you dont want to do.
Although doing the degree helps in running the business and working with staff.

Have fun.
