Title: Anyone here with an Advanced Science degree?
Post by: duyvh0309 on 30/07/2020 02:53:05

Hey Guys,
I got into Advanced Science (Hons) at UNSW but having concerns about the job prospects of this degree.
I have read some of the threads here posted by ppl graduated from Bachelor of Sci/Adv Sci and it just seems like science related jobs are low in demand.
Some of the ppl I know who is studying science intended to get jobs in research or academia which requires further study (e.g. master, PhD), and some of the ppl studied science just transfer to other courses due to the low job market of this field/the low paying jobs they got. Anyone here have gone down a different route and got a decent job without having to be relocated to another country??
I intended to choose biotechnology as my major but it seems really hard to get a job in Australia so I changed my mind by considering majoring in statistics as I've heard that mathematical/statistical background will probably appreciated by some companies?
So I've been discouraged by ppl around, thinking about transfering to Computer Science (which seems like it is high in demand and will probably got me high salary?
Any replies will be appreciated!! Thanks!!!

If you are interested in job prospects, computer science looks like it will be in continuing high demand.
- Especially if you throw some Artificial Intelligence and Data Science into the mix
- Most employers don't know what it is, but they think they had better be doing it (because everyone else is...)

Computer Science has a larger labor market than other sciences. It's a fact. I'm working in the IT-sphere, and my salary is most significant than the average salary. I also used many resources for studying, especially this website https://uk.edubirdie.com, where I got much information that helped me with my edu papers. With some savings and an experience in IT, it will be easier to find a successful job in the field you want to work in.

I can also add that the IT market is rising right now and will rise in the future.
