What subjects should I take in high school if I want to do a bachelor of commerce degree in university
Im having trouble choosing my future career path, I'm looking to head into either a bachelor of commerce or a bachelor of science degree however I figured that I need more time to think it through. As we speak I do not do any commerce subjects at school and I figured it would help me decide what degree I should take in university. #science #commerce #subjects #vce

A technical degree (like science, or many others) will give you an interesting body of knowledge that you can apply in your early jobs. Once you've done some entry-level positions and are moving up the ranks, then a Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a compact graduate degree that will help you quickly absorb commerce and business. It will also be more effective because you will have practical business experience to draw upon when you are learning, and a lot of business education is quite practical.
Then you will have two strings to your bow - science and business. Much fewer people have two specialties and the contrasting points of view can make you a differentiated hire.
Good luck!

I think business will never be a bad choice. In any situation encounter, you will join a business. Whether it is science related, the research facility you join, pharmaceutical company, etc. at the end of the day, it will still be business related. I chose business for that reason - wherever you go, management etc. it will be business related.

Whichever path you choose, statistics will be very useful for you. You should also take a few classes in a variety of topics and see which ones are most interesting.
