Bachelor of Commerce vs Business / Discussions / Combo

With a bachelor of commerce, your options are wide open... you can become a certified accountant, a CGA, a CMA, a chartered financial analyst, etc. 

A degree in business administration is more for people looking to become executives... which is pretty hard to if you don't have a job.


This is why so many people decide to get a bachelor of commerce as an undergraduate, and then after a few years with a job, go back to graduate school for a masters in business administration, so you can move up in the company.
