I don't think a BBA is useless really, and I actually think that Beedie is amazing, but it depends on the individual. I need my BBA to work towards becoming a CA, so that's all cool. Beedie has been great to me. I've met amazing people, gotten great opportunities, etc. I think that the courses aren't the most useful a lot of the time, but I feel I learn in some of them and I have yet to have a bad prof in a single one of my BUS classes (though I had two mediocre ones in BUS 303 and BUS 237). I think that relevant experience > textbook knowledge any day of the week, and I feel like I've gotten a lot of opportunities to gain practical experience through being a Beedie student. Can't say I'm disappointed with my decision.

That's great to know. Everyone I've talked to that actually find a BBA useful say the exact same thing as you do. I'm happy for you that you are of the few that actually use it to your advantage. The other majority who just aim to get through, I would say a Communications or Econ major would be a better choice.

From some one that has never failed anything in SFU until I got an F in Econ 301. Yeah its hard. Make sure you find a good prof or one that you are comfortable with. I had a terrible experience with Barkin, though some of my friends loved her, YMMV.
I found 302 better than 301. Maybe I was better prepared for it than the fist-fest that was 301.
Oh and BUEC 333.... LOL I'm retaking it next semester. Bakasam maybe I'll see you around.

As for econ 103, I'm planning to retake later in another semester, furthest away from now if possible.
In 157, I got pretty horrible, but i still ended up passing with a D, keep in mind though i literally studied the bare mimimum, as a matter of fact i should have done much worse. If its one thing thative learnt about myself this last week and a half of finals, its that i can achieve a good mark if i really tried. I will for sure achieve a better mark if i apply myself, and if i dont end up with the marks i want for the nine courses i want in the end, then it just wasnt meant to be. All the concepts ffrom both 157 and econ 103 werent tough, it was just i i couldnt congest an entire semesters worth of stuff in a matter of days. Anyways from what ive read, some people value the fact that they have chosen to go into the beedie. For some reason i've actually contemplated on sitting in a chair and just doing shit all day in a suit haha working for a firm or whatnot. But in all ivalue the opinion everyones given me, but I think im gunna stick to trying my best getting that 3.2.
Hopefully i make it, right now my strategy is to *take as many courses as i can for the* language part of my two division courses, whatever that will boost my mark allowing SOME margin of errors.

If you feel like you can do it, then go for it. Don't say I didn't warn you though cause you are running right on the edge. Good luck.

That actually counts as a repeat. Ask me, I know cause I am doing Computer Science coming from Econ and I have to take 150/151
