Hello guys, should I do bus man or economics or easy marks?
I want a subject with a low work load, as I am juggling chem,bio, methods already.

I wouldn’t say either subject has a light workload or is “easy marks” per se. Of the two subjects, I only ever did U1/2 of Economics, so I suppose I can’t personally recommend either without bias. It is actually quite common to see students take Bus Man with Methods and/or a science subject or two, if that helps in any way.

Perhaps have a look at the study design to make your choice a little easier. The one that has more appealing content in your opinion is probably the one you should take, regardless of marks or workload.

Personally wouldn't recommend economics if you want a bludge. It's the subject I'm performing by far the worst in (predicted difference between eco and my 5th subject is 10 study score points). Albeit I am doing barely any work in it so that probably explains it. I can't say anything for busman though since my school doesn't offer it.

You could always check the study design for both subjects.
It is freely available on VCAA's website.

Edit: AngelWings has already said this... so reiterating.

Link for current Economics study design is here and link for current Business Management study design is here. Keep forgetting that you're pretty young, so you probably have no idea where VCAA keeps their study designs.

For future reference, you can check out all VCE study designs here.

Reason I prefer that you check the study design yourself is because people have their own interests, strengths and weaknesses (and the best way to pick a subject - apart from it being a prerequisite - is usually what you enjoy the most, as this will keep you motivated). The best judge for which will be best/ more interesting for you will be yourself.

Thank you, I checked out both of them and it seems economics is funner. But in terms of difficulty that is what I don't know, for bus man I heard it is easier, but it is boring as hell. Has anyone here done economics/bus man or both and tell me your experience, please know that I am open for personal opinion so chat away.
