Depends on the field and what you want to do.

what about for the finance or maths?

Both those are quite broad fields. You can get into both with just a bachelor, however, a masters or honours looks good in these areas.

if you don't do both you might as well not bother going to uni at all

Shitty question, be more specific please

^ I know.

"Honours", from what I gather is a thesis paper along with coursework - which means you really need to brush up on your English skills, OP.

But yes, Honours does increase standing in getting a job.

How is it a shitty question, it's actually a pretty good question.

In some professions honours is useful and opens up a lot more opportunities. Sometimes this is the case in finance (for example the RBA asks for a minimum of honours). Same goes for the AASB (although based in Melb.) It all depends on where you want to go with your career.

Honours is something I'm interested in for accounting though I'm not still exactly sure if it'll serve much benefit since I want to complete CA program which involves a GradDip. As I said, it depends on where you want to go.

They're both different and you gain different skills by studying them. For example, an honours year usually requires a lengthy thesis. As a result this improves your research and communication skills among a host of other things. A masters (by coursework I'm assuming) helps you increase your technical knowledge in a field. I'm not sure how many students go directly on to a masters after graduating from an undergraduate degree though - maybe somebody else can shed some light on this for you.

Honours - Cheapest (Not Full Fee) 1 year fulltime, thesis
Masters (Coursework) - Shit for maths, expenisive, 1-2 years full time
Masters (Research) - Required to get into PhD programs in UK/US, expensive, 1-2 years full time, thesis
Grad Dip - 0.5-1 year fulltime of coursework

If say ur doing engineering.. they all must do honours to graduate.. they gotta do thesis and i'v seen some.. around 80 pages with majority of bullshit ..

the one i saw is basically 1 simple idea.. program it, plot graph.. it got 70-80ish
