I’m starting university this autumn & these are my main options. Reasons:

~ Accounting: guaranteed job from my boyfriend (businessman) to gain experience. Stable, monotonous, office job - which I like. I like routine. Comfy earning potential.

~ Foreign languages: I love language learning. Can get into the advanced group for German since I already know it well. In demand languages. Good earning potential & opportunities.

~ Physiotherapy: stable job, comfy salary. Relatively routine & chill.

    Accounting 100% if it were me. You can study language privately and an accounting degree will give you some stability if you decide to pursue physiotherapy later on

      Completely agree. Although I have known a few people who went for accounting because of the reasons OP gave and absolutely HATED it. So it’s important to make sure you can actually handle it as a day job

        Having accounting training is beneficial even if you hate accounting. Even if you only get through the first year and decide to switch, having that initial training means you know what’s what later in life when dealing with accountants and auditors.

        Plus, it’s useful to be able to manage your own personal finances.
