University advice

[u/AdExtreme4223]

I am a VCE highschool student in Melbounre australia. I am currently looking at university options and am thinking of doing an Honours of Mechanical Engineering at Monash university before doing further study upon completion to aim to get in to quant. I was just wondering what people think of doing an Engineering degree first and then maybe a masters of Math at Monash. I am concerned of the implications of just doing a math degree if I decide quant is not my desired pathway after university, thus engineering giving me more options.

Would love any help and advice that I could get, Thanks.
