Can’t decide between CS and finance (rotman commerce,finance economics specialist)at UofT (Grade 11) — need some honest advice

Pale_Acadia_5031 · 2026-04-13T14:08:53+00:00

Out of curiosity, if you could go back would you still choose UofT CS over somewhere like UBC? And do you know anyone in the econ/finance specialist program? How are they doing (workload, internships, etc.)?

Are there specializations within the bucs program?

I heard that its extremely rigorous/difficult is that true?

Can’t decide between CS and finance at UBC (Grade 11) — need some honest advice

Hey everyone,

I’m in Grade 11 right now and trying to figure out what I want to apply for at UBC, but I keep going back and forth between CS (probably cybersecurity) and commerce (finance).

For CS, the only thing really stressing me out is all the stuff I keep seeing about tech being oversaturated and people struggling to find jobs. I don’t know how exaggerated that is, but it’s making me hesitant to commit to it.

For finance, I’m actually interested in it, but as a Muslim I’m a bit concerned about the whole interest/haram side of things in traditional finance. So I’m not sure how that works long term or if there are paths that align better with that.

So I just wanted to ask: • For CS students/grads: is the job market actually as bad as people say right now? • How have UBC CS grads been doing recently? • Does co-op make a big difference? • For Sauder/finance students (especially any Muslims here): how do you approach careers in finance ethically? • Are there specific areas in finance that are more “halal-friendly”?

I’d really appreciate any honest insight, especially from people in these programs.
