Which course to take up being a commerce student after 12th class?

Hi I am a commerce student and need guidance on the career options available. The subjects of interest for me are maths and english. I like maths a lot but do not like the chapters sets and relation and function but recently got to know that these are the main chapters in Maths honours. Regarding English , I am interested in doing English honours bit my English isn't that good and my grammar is quite weak so I am afraid wether I will be able to do this course. I like accounts too but the theory part of accounts is a drawback for me. Which course or subject should I select as my career option. Thankyou!

Hello

Chartered Accountant
Thank you for choosing Mera career guide and writing to us. I appreciate your level of understanding on your strengths and weakness at this level. Brilliant! You have well explored what you are good at and what you are not and also have some knowledge about what is taught at degree level and what constitutes the major part of the degree.

You have straight away mentioned that Maths and English interests you the most. Don't you like Commerce? Commerce can also give you professional careers like if you complete the CA course or the CS course. I would advice you to go on this commerce stream only if you like it else stick to maths or English as you have mentioned. Why dont you take up the psychometric assessment available on the website here? This test will guide you through your personality and will tell you if you are suited to Commerce/ English or Maths.

As you have asked on maths and English, let me guide you on these two subjects and related career.

1. Maths: With a BSc Maths, you can work as a Business analyst, Management trainee, Market analyst, Market researcher, Industry analyst, statistician and many more. Some students also complete MSc Maths or even a PhD Maths and work as lecturers or professors at colleges. If you complete PhD, it is the highest academic achievement and very honourable. Please do not worry that sets and relation are the major part of the degree. The syllabus depends on the university that frames it and it can certainly differ from one university to the other. Also some universities offer choice for students to select courses and if sets and relation is listed on choice subjects, you can avoid it and still study the other part of the degree. I sincerely advice you to go through the syllabus and choice subjects of a few universities and take admission from the university that frees you from sets and relations. Actually, please do not get frightened about sets, it is a part of the degree and if you love maths you can find ways to learn this sets just for a semester may be.

2. English: You can choose BA English, BA English literature, BA Mass communications, BA Visual communications, BA Journalism and many more. Dont ever think that you are weak in grammar and for this reason you may not be able to study a degree level in English. Of course you will be taught from the basics and if you follow up with that carefully, I am sure you would shine in English subject. You can also download some ebooks on grammar from internet, or buy work books on grammar from book stores and yes, youtube has plenty of videos that can teach you basic grammar to advanced grammar. All this will prepare you well for a college degree in English. My sincere advice is to not neglect English assuming you are weak in grammar. As you will be taught from basics anyway, you dont have to worry much. Moreover if you prepare from now, I am sure you will succeed in this degree.

My best wishes to you.
