Combined Law (2 Viewers)

I would suggest elelctrical engineering instead. Not only will you get much better grounding in physics and math, but also some idea about analogue and digital circuit design.
Also in my experience higher level elec eng classes tend to be much more rewarding than comp sci (several of which you should be able to take anyway).
The downside ? Quite a bit more work.
Of course if that's not enough and the load is too light, you could always do actuarial major in commerce (if i'm not mistaken they have recently introduced it at USYD).
So you can be an engineer, an actuary and a lawyer ! Would have to work rather hard to pay the membership fees of all the professional organisations alone !

I was hoping to do something with computers as my first degree as I feel that I would enjoy doing something computer/law related. Engineering, IT, Computer science, they are all several possibilities as I'm not quite sure what I can get into or not.
why is law at mac the shits?
Can you please elaborate when u say it is shit? Gotta give reasons for your answer! thats what the teachers always say!!
I am thinking of going to Macquarie Law. Syd Law is ridiculous at 99.4, but not completely unachievable for me( i have only bombed in 3unit maths so far)

Yeah. but after 10 years I will have a lot more money than you will after 14.
A barrister earns a 'minimum' of $2000 a day from what I have heard. What can you say to that?

Re: why is law at mac the shits?
well, to say its shit is an exaggeration i woould say...the thing is though that usyd law school is one of the established n recognised in australia...so there's a probability that followin your graduation from usyd law school, u'll b hired by a renowned, global and/or prestigious law firm - but then again, its possible that u won't....
i want to go to usyd becoz i've fallen in love w/ its law program n coz i went to their open day lecture...the guy who spoke was the dean of law - he was blind, but his passion for law was dead obvious - he left me totally inspired - thats y i wanna go...but its good to keep optons open - i mean, not everyone can get 99.4

extremely amazin - it was just the way he spoke - n the fact that he was where he was - standing on the stage despite the fact that he couldn't even see - n here we all r - whingin about whether the UAI is 90 or 99.4 - he was totally inspirin, wasn't he?
Lolz - yup i bought every single word he said - i reckon if he wasn't a lawyer n a dean, he'd make an excellent sales exceutive... well i'm aimin for 99.5 - to stick on the safe side
UNSW will have to offer me an arm n a leg more this weekend for me to even consider them now

I was at the open day as well and i agree with all of u.
i wish i could get 99.4....but unless i bribe the markers....it aint gonna happen
Im lookin to do an economics degree at USYD (89.5)
and transfer into combined law or if i fail at that im hoping to do grad law. - and if that plan fails and wollongong accept me ill do my degree there.
BTW, I happen to know many barristers and solicitors. They all belive that USYD is the best LAW school. UNSW is stronger in other areas (esp fine arts) and Wollongong has a killer commerce program.
good luck to u all !
(p.s. if i end up completeing some useless degree....somebody hire me as a solicitor )
