Are you refering to the difficulty of find a job, or career paths with one of those degrees

That's a terribly broad and open ended question. Why not reverse it and ask yourself, what career path do you want to take?

I finished almost 4 years ago. But I think checking out the online handbook of all the universities are a good start if you want to explore further on what opportunities are available to you.

I personally graduated from an economics degree and have heaps of friends who graduated from commerce or economics and each with an array of specialisations (albeit most of them accounting and finance). However, the job title at the end can vary a lot but the job description of many are quite similar.

Below is the one I just got from the UNSW online handbook for their business school. Hope that helps.

Number of different options, which are not necessarily linked to the major you chose to study. I'm currently working in an industry that is not specifically linked to what i had studied, so there are a number of doors a commerce or economics degree opens up.

Your question is way too broad for a specific answer, but generally speaking there are many opportunities for business graduates. A lot of uni students thing that business jobs are restricted to majors (i.e. accounting, finance, marketing, HR etc), but in a real business there are a variety of jobs beyond these areas (a commerce degree tells you little about how an actual business operates). You can go into things like supply chain management, operations, service quality, sales, accounts management, customer experience, procurement and a whole heap of other things.
