This may be really banal.. But I'm kinda lost here.
Need those students from NTU/NUS to kinda help me explain something....
I just finished my A Levels recently, and these were the scores that I got:
Econs - A
Mth C - B
Physics - C
GP, Chinese - B3
I have these options in mind: Either I take up Economics or Business Adminstration. I am personally more interested with issues with regards to finance and stuff. But the problem is that there seems that BA & Econs are similar.... (eg, both of them hav finance as well.)
So could anyone out there explain as to what are the differences between BA & Econs?
I had originally thought of going to BA (be it be in NUS/NTU), but I've heard from many people that it is a very general degree, and that securing a job will be difficult (with a BA degree). Could anyone comment on this as well? Some of them even commented that its not worth it to take BA full time as a undergrad course...
I would gladly appreciate if anyone working in the finance sector could shed some light on these questions. I just went to Careers 2003 @ Suntec, but it was so packed that I couldn't ask much questions.
And one more thing: Is Engineering physics/science related? Science is not really my fort, but then... I heard (again) that Eng courses do have Econs integrated as well... huh?
Really in a confusion as to what I should take....
And I really hope that the scores that I have can get me into the course that I want.... Really competitive....
Thanks a lot everyone!
