I heard 3 courses and 4 courses are both considered full time. So what are the disadvantages and advantages of doing 3 courses? wouldn't this increase your chances of getting a higher WAM if you did 3 courses per semester?

Hey, what did you do in your role? :O I only considered marketing because I think I will do better at that than accounting and possibly lead to a higher wam? unless the benefits of studying something related outweighs the cost of studying something that will boost your WAM. So is it recommended...

What about if I want to go into financial planning? I heard it would be good to have marketing skills :/ Also, a lot of websites and videos says to get a Bachelors degree (4 years), does this mean a 3 year Bachelor of Commerce degree would be frowned upon?

Even tho it doesnt relate to finance? Would this weaken my chances of getting a job

so from all this, I should choose something that im not really good with but compliments well with finance [accounting] over something that interests me [marketing]?

Yes but it is it as much as economics or roughly the same? A lot of people are suggesting accounting, should I do it even though I am bad at it and risk bringing down my WAM?

I've heard that there's alot of mathematical models and stuff. I don't think I am a very math inclined person so I'm not sure if it would be a good idea, however I did like micro and macroeconomics (From those, It was more theory and graphs). Would it still be recommended to do it?

If i want to work in finance (eg. investment advisory etc), should i combine it with accounting or marketing? I did poorly in the introductory accounting scraping a pass. Marketing seems interesting.

Is this degree any good in terms of employment? And how heavy is the maths? I enjoy micro and macroeconomics but not really a fan of doing hardcore maths and consisting whether to transfer commerce/economics. Also would it be worth it to triple major in accounting finance and economics if...

I plan to major in Marketing for my other major however I also would not mind working in finance jobs. I was leaning towards finance however judging from the posts, it would seem pretty useless unless i combined it with economics. I guess I should major in accounting then? Unless, Does anyone...

Which one would be more worth it? I generally find finance a lot more interesting than accounting. However, I heard that jobs are hard to come by with finance (disregard investment banking) and that accounting majors can get the same jobs as finance? Is this true? If it is, then wouldn't it be...

okay so judging by the replies, minors are not worth pursuing? Also does anyone know of the job prospects of the following majors? (potential majors i could pursue however i would like to pursue one that has more jobs available and are more stable) - Accounting - Business economics - Financial...

Is it worthwhile to do a minor for commerce and is it highly regarded by employers because I don't want to waste my time doing a minor if it won't be useful? also, does anyone know if it's possible to do 2 majors and 1 minor? Cheers.

Thanks but..Any other suggestions? :(

anyone have experience with it? what kind of questions do they ask and how should i approach it? How would you guys interact in a customer service or sales scenario? tips please! :) thanks !
