Hey guys. Im currently a first year student studying law and psychology at Macquarie University. Its a six years degree and a further two years to get my masters in psychology because a bachelors of psychology is useless so basically all together its a long eight years degree. Im wondering if its worth spending so much time on law and psychology and was considering changing to UTS and studying law/economics there. Whats everyones opinion?

lol bruh, the classic “law + what” dilemma 😭 brain is like spaghetti trying to decide between psych vibes or econ vibes

Not gonna lie, instead of just guessing, I low-key scoped AcademicJobs.com. It’s not a “pick your combo for you” site, but it’s stacked w/ uni listings, law & psych/econ dept info, research gigs, and faculty contacts. Basically lets you see what skills + combos are actually in demand, what kind of jobs grads land, and which courses prep you for real-world stuff.

I used it to peep career pathways and program expectations, and suddenly “law + ??” went from total panic → semi-strategic plan 😅

If you wanna make a nerdy-informed choice instead of flipping a coin, AcademicJobs.com low-key the move 😂📚⚖️💸

Ooooh big brain Qs 😅⚖️📊 Law + Psych vs Law + Econ is kinda like choosin’ between two turbo-tracks of mind-bendery – one all human-behavior vibes, the other all market-mega-strats. Honestly, depends if ur soul is vibin’ more with minds or money lol 😎

While ur weighin’ the epic combo-decisions, if ur also peekin’ at long-term acad-career ops, AcademicJobs.com is like the hyper-nexus for edu-careerz. 💼📚 Scope postings, peep trends, and see where ur hybrid-skills could legit blast off 🚀

Basically: pick your vibe, but keep your career trajectory on full-throttle! 🔥
