<p>So I posted this in the college admissions section, people suggested I ask the same question here, so here goes :)</p>
<p>So I'm about to enter my second year of college/university. And I Have no clue as to what majors I should specialize in anymore. I'm currently doing a Bachelor of Commerce degree, initially decided to major in Accounting/Finance but soon realised how unmotivated I was while taking Accounting courses. Although I did take accounting in Highschool, it kind of struck me in the past year that it was possible I was going to be doing this for the rest of my life, and there is no question I would regret it. I do know however if I did an Accounting major I would have the best chance of a landing a job after graduation, with a decent salary.</p>
<p>Finance on the other hand I am not quite sure what to expect as there were no finance core courses in my first year, but I hear it is quite heavily math based which worries me (I failed a few calculus papers in highschool). However it does seem like a useful major for employ-ability.</p>
<p>I also recently planned to apply for a conjoint degree bachelor of commerce/bachelor of arts as my GPA was sufficient, and planned that if they did accept me I would major in Japanese as well. I am very interested in Japanese culture and hope one day I can go on an exchange program or work there after I graduate. This lead me into thinking I should take an International Business major on my commerce side to complement my Japanese major. I soon realised International Business is seen as quite a broad subject and does not teach you specific skills, which would be useless in the job market. Nonetheless, International Business sounds like a very interesting course and especially since countries are trading with one another more maybe it could prove to be quite useful especially by the time I graduate. Although I did realise a double major in International Business and Japanese would be a very weak combination towards getting a job.</p>
<p>I then learnt that my university allowed students to take triple majors, which interested me. I was thinking I triple major in International Business, Japanese (my interests) and either Accounting OR Finance for job competency. This sounded awesome to me, I was free to pursue my interests while also taking a 'useful' major which could land me a job. But now after reading quite a few threads on college confidential, many people say a triple major is a waste of time especially with courses overlapping, huge work load etc.. I really don't know what to think anymore.</p>
<p>IN SUMMARY:</p>
<p>-Originally planned to major in accounting+finance, soon realised how boring accounting was, don't know what to expect from finance yet
-Applied for conjoint degree, thinking of majoring in International Business + Japanese which are my interests, realised it probably wasn't the best option for job competency
-Considering a triple major in International Business + Japanese + EITHER accounting OR finance to pursue interests while securing a job after graduation. After some research found out triple majoring was extremely time consuming and kind of useless.</p>
<p>I was thinking of going through with the last option, which was triple majoring in international business, japanese and either one of accounting or finance. I don't think my courses will necessarily overlap since I am doing 2 business majors and 1 Arts (japanese major). Will attend summer school or take 5 courses a semester if I have to.</p>
<p>I REALLY need advice on what to do here.... Sorry for the long read!</p>
