If by 'good' you mean most popular? Accounting and finance.

Good is what you will excel best at.

Accounting and Finance are popular choices because they arguably open the most doors.

"Good" will depend on what you are interested in and what career you are planning for after uni.

Accounting and Finance will obviously compliment each other. However, Marketing does teach you a lot of other skills which will also be useful *cough* communication skills *cough*

Other than the obvious jobs with Marketing/Communication and sometimes PR firms, as well as in-house positions. There are also a wide range of other more "general" positions which will also recruit marketing students, just have a look around for graduate programs and read some of the descriptions - many of them don't specify the major either, they'll usually only require the bachelor. Marketing can teach you a range of skills that are useful across a lot of different jobs.

yes the same, since you can only do max 4 units to begin with. May be down the track you have the required GPA and feel like to finish early then you can apply to do 5 units a semester.

I'm pretty sure it's 27 hours over four days a week if you specifically choose marketing and accounting. Those who do it complain just as much as eng kids about their hours.

someone PLZ tell me he doesnt have a clue what hes talking about.

Contact hours should be around the 12-13 hour mark per week during session as far as I know.

ps. Misleading post above has been removed. Please remember this is not a social board.

12-13 hours sounds about right going off the hours of some people I know.

Both accounting and marketing would have ~3-4 contact hours a week per subject, typical load is 4 subjects a semester so yeah 12-13 hours a week is about right, usually you can comfortably squeeze this all in to 2-3 days.

I think it's a good match in the sense that one side will teach you communication/interpersonal skills and the other will teach you numbers and well, numbers....
