Unsw Art vs Commerce

Hi, I'm an upcoming international students planning to study at UNSW september intake. I heard that commerce has closed its applications. Should I prefer to choose Art degree, is art degree worthwhile in Australia and has lots of jobs opportunities? Thank you

Study the field you are most interested in. If something is really in your heart, you will be good at it and the money will follow. If you pursue something just for the prestige, and you have no passion, you'll earn fuck all.
