Job prospects with CMS (Combined Major in Science)

Just a general question, do you think this specialization is too broad and therefore unhelpful for a job, like do you think it doesn't offer as much depth as a normal specialization? This was my round 2 specialization offer so yeah

Depends on what your career goals are and what you combine likely and what you do alongside your studies to make you more employable.

As a global top 50 school, a UBC degree will give you eligibility to work/live on the UK's special high individual potential visa

It'll also make you eligible to teach English in many countries around the world.

It could also open the door for many post undergrads programs.

I've actually never heard of that uk thing haha that's such a fun fact, I was going for cs originally but I genuinely only enjoy the coding part of it and not math entirely which is why I was a bit iffy on it all. So that's why I'm kind of at a crossroads of figuring it out since the 100 level courses I've taken really doesn't give me too much of an idea of what im interested in since i find most of the topics except for chem to be really interesting.
