I am an experienced commuter with a resultant interest in transport and other urban issues. However, in general, I am very interested in people (the human world) so I was probably predisposed to become interested in such. Indeed, that broader interest is one of the main reasons why I initially decided to study economics and history (the other being I liked both a lot at school).My decision to pursue a BA/BCom rather than a straight BA was due to a desire to learn more about the subject areas of the business-like core papers, which I felt I knew very little about. As a consequence of this decision, I ended up taking the standard first year applied statistics paper, but I liked it so much that I decided to pursue statistics as a third major in the conjoint (under the BA). It also provided an avenue to studying to marketing papers "on the side".As I feel balance and variety are important, I arranged my timetables over the past three years in order that I might finish all three majors this year rather than (as is fairly common) having only one/two left at this stage. However, I also feel that I am capable of concentrated effort in a more narrowly defined area as and when necessary.
