Alhamdullilah I am about to complete my First year in Lahore School of Economics and my estimated CGPA will be around 3.9 InshAllah!
In LSE we get to chose our desire field in the second year, so now I am really confused between BBA(Hons) Double Majors Marketing and Finance and BSC(Hons) Double Majors Economics and Finance
I just want to know that which one is more interesting and has better scope overall?
Lastly, Economics is tough for me as I just score just good in it not great but I found it interesting, so if i choose BSC will I be able to do Economics later on?

I'd advise to go with BSC. Marketing is quite a congested field nowadays.

dude there is no value of b.b.a its just waste of time 4 year , do B.S.C then apply for m.b.a otherwise do 3 year B.B.A honours and then try for M.B.A executive B.S program is so dead in pakistan

 

[nabeel1124]

Thanks guys will be opting BSC for now!
any more suggestions?

 

[Pakiyoungster]

neither bsc ( in ur stated field) nor bba has any worth now a days.
u must have gone with applied accounting or professional accountancy field

The important thing is you choose the field which is best for YOU. Forget all this talk of this is dead and that is dead, what matters is your capability, simply go for the field you are the most comfortable with and forget about jobs, leave something up to fate lol. I've finally come to this conclusion while asking here and there regarding fields and universities and what not.

I LOLed at people in this thread commenting that BBA is dead or BSc is finished :lol:.... I am about to graduate from LSE with majors in Finance and minors in Maths and Stat... If you are not a capable person or hardworking, then every degree will be counted as shit... It is my experience that every field of study has some value.. YES! Even the B.com one....(sm1)

[MENTION=25454]nabeel1124[/MENTION], Choose the field that you are most interested in. Economics is very tough in BSc and you can count on it. But do not worry, I have seen people with CGPA's above 3.7 in BSc and they are doing quite well. If you are seriously interested in Economics, then go for it.


Otherwise, BBA is for you and on a special note, never underestimate any type of program or majors here in LSE!

Don't listen to people who tell you any degree is worthless. NO degree is worthless, not even Persian. What really matters is what you like, and what you want to do with your life once you graduate. If you are good enough, degree doesn't matter, YOU matter more. I chose Social Sciences as my major, and everyone told me that you are doomed for life and all you can do it teach A Level kids or work at an NGO. Since I knew what I wanted to do and worked towards it, I got the sort of job that I wanted when other, so called 'better' major's were thought better equipped to get into. Consider this:

B.Sc. Economics is good for: Masters in Economics, Hardcore economics jobs that involve economic analysis like State Bank etc.
BBA is good for: MBA, General management jobs in marketing/HR/Finance etc.

Dont ignore the word "good for", which means the degree is also good for other things but these things are much much easier to get into after the said degree. So if you're good enough, you can do Masters in Economics after BBA, and needless to say, MBA can be done after any degree on earth.

Summary: No degree is "better" than other, what you like is what you should do and keep an eye on your goal after graduation.

Thanks a lot for a detailed analysis.
Actually the thing that worries me is that everybody is going for Bba so won't it be a demand supply problem in future?

Read my reply again. MBA can be done after any degree on earth. Even after studying History of Art.

As for demand-supply problem in future, there will always be more graduates than jobs in all fields be it medical, engineering, BBA etc. But good graduates are as short in supply as are good jobs. If you're good, you will always find a decent job. But again, you are thinking in terms of which major promises better job prospect, and I told you before that NO major does that. The key is to do that which you like and do a good job at it, then there is no stopping anyone.

And that is VERY good thing, considering its an open playingfield without any restrictions for anyone.

AoA Nabeel,

If you find Economics tough then do think twice before choosing BSc, because it does get tough as you go deeper into micro-economics. I graduated in 2008 with a BSc(Hons) Double Majors Economics and Finance...and i've never had any regrets but the courses are definitely tougher than BBA....though hard work does pay enough and you can definitely manage through it. I have friends who dd their BBAs and then their MBAs from LSE and are doing good in their careers and as many have pointed out, as long as you are doing what you like and you are good at it, you will have no trouble finding a job. Best of luck with making your choice, and i hope it works out for you.

Well after a BSc Double major you can go into any job that requires quantitative skills and most of the time tht is where BSc graduates end up, and that is only because that is their preference. I have a friend who graduated with a BSc double major and then an MBA Banking & Finance (from LSE) and he is now heading H.R. for a bank, so you really are not limited. Another friend is credit analyst at a credit rating company, while some went onto MNCs like Nestle, Nielsen, Coca Cola, etc. The ones that prefer less number crunching stick to middle management, it is all about preference. As for me, i did my Masters from abroad in Accounting & Finance and since returning have been pursuing CA, so no such work experience from my end that i can relate, which is sort of sad. Try making your decision by envisioning what kind of role in a company would you want 3 years down the lane and then 10 years on. If marketing, sales, management, H.R. and administration are your forte then you can forego BSc. I hope this helps, if you have any further queries dont mind asking.
