A pass in Comm/Law would afford you a bit more flexibility.

Probably not a lot. You could try to get a job at legal aid etc.

Credit average BComm would be better than pass average BComm/LLB.

It really depends - it isnt an ATAR where they have cut-offs. In this day and age they look at so much more than that. In general though, most of the types of positions you are looking at would require at least a Credit average, but a Distinction average is closer to what they want.

Why are you aiming for just a pass in MQ for Comm/Law? I may not do law and Comm at MQ, but i do comm and i am getting 77-80 average atm (pre-finals). Especially, when ur WAM gets wiped to 0, why not aim and work harder?

Anyways, a pass in Commerce/Law won't get you far (probably not the top firms), but will get you a job in one of those small firms with s*** pay as a start. However, this is more flexible in terms of job opportunities!
With a credit average in Economics; same story. Probably won't make it into the big4 and top business firms as they require a Distinction average. However, employment would be more favourable with a credit average than a pass and hence you could work for small-medium sized enterprises. I've heard that you need atleast an honours in Economics to find decent jobs - not sure if true!
Hasn't this been answered already?

If I was to choose between these two (both at credit average), I'd go with Commerce/Law as its more flexible in terms of job opportunities. I can't answer by 'how much'... but I believe thats better.

No one can say. Honestly, apart from something like being a medical doctor, you could do pretty much whatever you wanted with either. The degree really doesn't matter.
Re: Please understand my dire situation (ALL FAIL) and HELP ME CHOOSE FROM MY OPTIONS
Sghguos - employability is based on more than just what average you got in a course from a university. There is more to it (such as co-curriculars, how well you interview, work experience/previous employment in general), which is why it is difficult to give definitive answers to your questions.
I hope you work it all out/good luck with the decisions you have to make.
/i think that's it for me in this thread. I don't think I have anything more to add. Also, I really don't know anything about eco/commerce.
Yes sorry perhaps I should have been more clear - the uni offers workshops on time management/essay writing/keeping on track etc. I actually haven't studied at MQ - I seriously considered it when I was choosing uni's and have some experience with other aspects of the uni, but anyway.

I know people who have done B.Comm/B.Law at Macq (ended up with a credit average) and they were unemployed for 3 years...and I know people who have done B.Eco at USYD/UNSW with credit average and they got employed within 6 months of graduation
A credit average without experience and extra-curriculars means nothing to mid-tier and top-tier firms these days...
B.Comm/B.Law is more flexible than a B.Eco

I see this as some of the best advice I have ever seen on this forum.

3 years of unemployment when they graduated with a freakin credit average (which is quite hard) in comm/law??? guys is he telling the truth? WTF
You serious bro? That means a credit average of b.economics is superior to a credit average in b.comm/law at maq

No it doesnt - read the thread. There are other factors which employers look at, often times, those factors will trump marks in importance.

A credit average isn't that hard.

Exactly. It's called an example, and there are plenty of other counterexamples to balance it out.

So you last minuted the HSC, and you thought you could carry on this mentality to university.
If you are still plagued by these personal issues, they will come again. So don't transfer with the intention of having a new start, when such issues are still in existence and are going to affect you greatly.
