What to do with these A level subjects?

[Magenta]

Hi, everyone
I'm currently in A2 studying Physics, Maths, AICT and Psychology.
What can I do with these subjects and which universities in Lahore can I go to?
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am very, very career confused right now.
I initially chose these subjects with Computer Sciences in mind, but I'm not too sure anymore- especially considering the lack of university choices for CS here in Lahore. I had FAST as an option but that's really hard to get into for CS. Then I thought Architecture but that's a 5 year degree and I was hoping for a 4 year degree.

Computer Science, BBA, BSc Economics are your top options

Thank you. I think I'll stick with CS then.
And hey, you're the guy who got 28 A's in O levels! That is insane!

 

[ZohaibAsad]

Yes, and No you got it wrong, sanity is not an objective term and has no mathematical definition. So you might do what you perceive to be sane and I do what I perceive to be sane in context of my ability.

 

[Magenta]

Of course, sanity's definitely subjective!

However, the 4th definition is what I meant.
No offence intended

What did you get in A levels, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[ZohaibAsad]

Yea so subjective is subjective. I use my own definition of sanity rather than ha ha the stupid urban dictionary.

Anyways I alhamdullilah have 11 As and a distinction in A levels

I didn't use the word with the same meaning you have in mind though. Insane is slang for awesome khair.

Wow mA. Hope you inshaAllah do well at McGill as well.

Last question: CS has scope, right? If I get a degree from a local university, will it be possible to get jobs in other countries as well?

 

[ZohaibAsad]

The answer is: It depends. In Pakistan a bachelor might work, but up here in North America the most scope is of those who have a specialized masters degree or are PhD researchers. People who do CS here often do it as a double major or minor with something else like electrical engineering, economics.

In the middle east you might find scope of the bachelors in some multi-national firms like in Pakistan. Working in other countries is also subject to work permit requirements, experience in a particular industry, gender preferences so that's why the scope is 'relative'.

hmm..could u help me deciding me my which engg. i should do? I am confused b/w aeronautical, petroleum and chemical. what is the scope, the job opportunities in Pakistan as well as abroad? what are the good local and international unis? would be very thankful if u could help me

 

[ZohaibAsad]

Abroad will narrow down to the middle east, there is scope with a bachelors in engineering. Aeronautical and petroleum are the top ones in terms of balance of scope locally and abroad. In North America the scope is for post grads and PhDs now with the kind of progress they have done.

do i hold a chance of getting a job in middle east after getting my degree from a pakistani university? in pakistan bachelors in petroleum is only offered by uet lahore and ned. i ve heard that these unis hav lost their standards recently. while aeronautical eng. is being offered by NUST which is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, university of Pakistan at the moment.
would u suggest doing petroleum from a not-so-good university or aeronautical from top-in-pakistan university?

 

[ZohaibAsad]

It's better to go with the better university

 

[avenger]

It's better to go with the better university

hmmm...on the other hand what do u think, is it better to do the all common electrical or mechanical engineering or the newer ones like petroleum/aeronautical engineering in Pakistan?
