hihi...in my country, many students are not choosing the business course as they are worried that they will be jobless once they graduate with a business degree due to the economic crisis..especially in the finance industry where so many people are being sacked...there was a reported of up to 20% decrease in the number of applicantion for business degree... and also more and more people are taking up engineering course because that is the so called safest course to take...because there will also be a lack of engineers and they are seldom being sacked.. i feel that it is more important to choose a course that you are interested in and have the passion for it...and not study it because of what other people say... but if you really feel that your future job is the most important, then go ahead and take the course that will have the most secure job..
