I'm a freshman from University of New South Wales. Recently, I've been told by my program coordinator that I have an advanced standing and I'll be given a chance to take up an elective.
It's either "Corporate Law" or "Economics & Politics". I find both electives very interesting, but I can only choose one. I'll be majoring in Finance, and I intend to work in a bank after my graduation...somewhere in the line of analysing and researching on future risks/opportunities in proposals or policies, etc.
I need help!!!! Which one is best to study?

You really can't go wrong with either one. I tend to think Corporate Law will have more obvious practical benefits, but if your career goal is finance in a bank, either one will serve you well.

Great question and brilliant scripture to support it. Of course they will never stop publishing the literature, not until Armageddon. If they stopped studying their books and just used the Bible, millions would probably leave and the Governing body couldn't have that, could they? For those who said that JW's do study the Bible and only use their books to support it, what utter nonsense. When an interested person begins a so called Bible Study he reads the various chapters of the latest 'study aid', currently a book called 'What does the Bible really teach', or 'teach book' for short. The Bible is only used to support the teachings of the society, and, to that end they 'cherry pick isolated scriptures that appear to 'prove' they are right. So, for instance, if they are looking at Jesus, they choose scriptures that appear to deny his deity but carefully avoid touching on those that prove it. At the end of each study section there are questions, the answers to which are all in the passages just read. The student is expected to use the given answers, if he does so he is congratulated and made to feel quite clever because he has discovered 'a bible truth' all on his own. If he answers differently then he has not quite 'seen the truth' and is gently brainwashed some more until he does. How on earth can that be called a study of the Bible? Some JW's might point out that they also study the Bible, one book at a time, but even this is done under guidance using yet another publication to make sure that they do not uncover anything that reveals the lies.

As a finance professor, I'd say that either could be helpful, but the corporate law is probably more certain to be worthwhile. With a course in "Economics and Politics" you have a risk of being misled, because you might have a prof with a point of view that they want to jam down your throat. Corporate Law is less controversial, but every bit as important. Also, the kind of economics you need in banking is probably not the kind of econ you'd get in a politics class. But it could still be helpful in some respects.
Best of luck to you.

I myself still haven't experienced either one but just for reference if you are nervous about your teacher [yeah, maybe this is not the best resource] but you can check what other students may have said about your professor(s) at www.ratemyprofessor.com
After all, this is just my suggestion... But if you don't care.. It's fine.
Though, good luck! Hope this tip would be helpful.
