i was talking to some people and they said there is no point in doing this degree as engineering and commerece have no relationship!

Is that true??

Hey, don't be presumptuous about his intelligence or motivations. I know plenty of people in UNSW engineering with D or HD averages, those who barely scrap passes or fail altogether are the ones who are too lazy to try because they have no interest in what they're doing.

Part of engineering is being able to sell what you're building. Knowing about what kind of things are in demand in the market helps you decide whether a project is worth pursuing. Knowing how your product is produced can help with commerce as well. The only better thing you could combine commerce with is law, but not everyone is interested in doing that. Of course, if you just want a job in the big 4 and nothing else like a lot of commerce students, don't bother with engineering.

The entire marketing major is about how to sell things.

edit: I'm using a broader definition of "selling" which is a synonym for marketing (getting people interested in what you're doing, selling an idea, etc). Not selling hot dogs in a cricket match by yelling at the top of your lungs kind of selling. Sorry about the ambiguity.

Who told you that? There are much better ways to get into management than a double undergraduate degree. Ask the kind of companies you'd hope to work for later on and see what they have to say on the subject.
