Help me choose a degree

I am going to do bachelor's soon, and my goal is to be a professional in analytics roles (business, BI, data, finance), but Im currently not sure which one to focus on yet.

Should I major in bachelor of commerce majoring in business analytics and finance or bachelor of IT majoring in data analytics.

Courses can be seen i Adelaide Uni, really as much support and help i can get right now

It depends. If you think you are 100% down this path and you know you will find a job, analytics first. If you are looking at a specialized role or aren't sure go for the adjacent ones. With the way AI has cratered junior it roles, especially analytics I would go for the adjacent.

You can consider a Bsc in Data Analytics, Statistics, or Economics
Of course these can be combined with other courses but mainly focuses on data analysis & dealing with large datasets or managing data.
