Employers are looking out for students with "life experience", who are driven, flexible and are able to learn quickly (aka adapt). I wouldn't say joining FASS is a mistake. I think it is important to know why you chose it, and explain that to your employer. Much of the stuff we learn in school are not applicable at work anw. Lastly and most importantly, socialise and make friends, work in teams.
I just graduated in psychology and found a decent job in the finance industry. Yes, it wasn't easy for me to compete against peers with technical degrees or even 1-2 years of working exp. But you just gotta flaunt your passion, logical thinking and communication skills!
Good luck freshie! Go enjoy your FOC!

Congratulations! And thank you so much for the advise
!
I suppose my dilemma is whether I should study what I like and enrich myself with practical modules, worry about employment and financial matters thereafter or commit myself to 3/4 years of something I may not really enjoy, find enjoyment in modules I can take with my UEs, and be secure in employment and financial matters thereafter. But it all depends on me right? hahah!
