Apart from these courses, a commerce student can also follow disciplines which fall outside the traditional zone that is considered to be for commerce. These include:
  • Journalism and Mass Communication
  • Hotel Management
  • Event Management
  • Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)
  • BA LLB (Law)

These are all extremely good options for a commerce student to explore as the demand in these areas has increased a lot over the last decade. Another recent trend has been to initiate startups. These include e-commerce sites, online music sites, e-wallets, and other such services. Many commerce students are now choosing this option as a way to quickly grow in the field of commerce.
In the end, make your decision wisely and do your own SWOT analysis. Don’t simply choose a field just because your friends are choosing it. Someone has wisely said, ‘’Making better choices takes work. There is a daily give and take, but it is worth the effort.’’
