Internal transfer is another story
That needs GPA and easier

I have some friends had done that too.
Get in some moderate major and switch to the hard one
Like Biochemistry to Medical Doctor,  ...

true and it's easier to change discipline thru internal transfer
in fact, have you thought about changing yours to another one? in this way you might have still stayed / studied in US now

And marketing doesn't need degree too.
From all those ad I read, they emphasize on working experience.
So, degree is for fun only and a bit of protection that shows you have, at least, minimum ability - graduate from university

now ... back to the drawing board, eh? marketing does need degree, ok? it's a professional itself ... i don't know if you have studies / read the related books before, but a marketing student does require to know some sorta of theories to begin with before s/he can apply to the real case (don't ask me about the details though cause i forgot all of them once i stepped out of the exam room )

yes and perhaps spoon-fed students did better in the 1st year but how about the years later on?

anyway i don't think oz system is perfect for me either ... but it does give me chance and choic ...

LOL
Whatever
Your own experience lead you to that point of view

Imagine, if you can score all As in HKCEE, you won't say so , or even just all Bs
That's not that fair to justify a system in general.

Even education is demand and supply
You said, you might not able be score the AL result for your major, that means that's more students applying that major and you all have to compete to fit your demand. It drives the admission grade high and blah blah blah

In Australia, they have a lot schools and not much population relatively, the competition is much less (not sure but i guess) and that's why you can get in there ( also, the bridging course etc is another good feature to you too , that's is high diploma in HK comparatively, although not as easy as yours )

That doesn't mean Australia is better in the system
That means the Australia is better in "geography" and better resources on education

...

Yeah, thought about it and it took another 4-5 years with a useless PhD to me...probably
Switching undergrad is easier as the thing are still relatively easy
Switching PhD = huge entry barrier

Even the same major as your undergrad, you still have to work your ass off
Switch to different major, you have to work your advisor ass off as well.

...

I have quite a few friends doing marketing without marketing degree
One in physics
One in journalist
Others non-related as well

If you refer to the head or leader of the marketing team, probably so
The normal staff don't need that, at least to my friends

Writting programs to analyze data and interpret them

Then, you say, in your marketing, does a marketing major value more than 4 years on-hands marketing job experience?

One is talking a war on paper.
One is fighting in a war with hands on.

for a marketing pose, whoever has the previous job experience would have an advantage and higher chance to secure his/her contract but then if the company is looking for graduates ONLY, it won't consider applicants with experience at all cause it has to pay more for the old hands and thus might exceed the financial budget

seriously, no company won't expect any fresh graduates to have much experience ... the interviewers are more looking at their interview performance, i say

You said, IF.

From those ads in HK, most requires applicants to have at least 2 years exp. in related field

If they both, require the same salary, will you be impressed more by 4 years marketing experience than 4 years lecture time fresh graduate?
