Being a commerce student opens you up to a plethora of different jobs in business. In America, students typically go for their four-year undergraduate degree in a related business field such as accounting or finance. Internationally however, this is not always the case. For those living in countries like Canada, India, and the EU, going for your Bachelors in Commerce or B.comm is a good idea if you want to work in a related field like international finance, accounting, or banking.
A B.comm is a three-year degree and makes one eligible to become a CA or Chartered Accountant, which is an internationally recognized professional title. Being a CA means that you’ll have the ability to work in fields like auditing, finance, taxation, and business management. In the U.S. it’s the equivalent to being a Certified Public Accountant or CPA. On average, those with this degree make $73,670 a year in the U.S. according the the Bureau of Labor. Depending on what country you are practicing in, this could vary significantly.
There are a number of other jobs available to a student in commerce. Commerce students have the ability to explore other non-finance related industries like property management, communications, or law. Here are a few other career options for commerce students in related industries.
Commerce is business and is required for the global economy to stay active. There are many opportunities from a business perspective in emerging markets like India and South America that make being a commerce student a great idea. The doors are open to the global financial sector and their investors, making your ability to find a role more crucial than ever.
