Id like to see Australia's economy diversify a bit from mining, from what Ive observed Queensland, WA and Adelaide have really suffered from the downturn.

Id consider myself a Democrat and I couldnt agree more with this - pointing the finger at everyone but themselves for this failure. Same goes for the Republicans as well.

Pretty much how I feel about Republicans, so we will agree to disagree. My point still stands, the Democrats have been largely ineffectual towards reaching out and firing up their base in the last few cycles. A huge opportunity has been missed over the past few years which Bernie Sanders (a...

In my view, the Democrats bear significant blame for the rise of Trump and pretty much the rise of movements like the Tea Party. They didnt do nearly enough to cut them off or at least counter with a strong appeal to their working class base.

Im the opposite, I felt Trump was on the right track with the issues facing the US, but dont think he had the solutions. Bernie was the right man for the job and I think the Democrats now realise that rigging the primary system in favour of Clinton was a huge mistake. Why on earth they did...

Or worse Ted Cruz.

Or how many illegals will be required to build it.

It's a surprising result to be honest, but I guess as Brexit demonstrated anything is possible. I understand people's frustration, but to me putting your money on Donald Trump to fix things is absolutely ludicrous. The man is woefully unqualified and his background cannot stand up to any...

I think what he is trying to say is keep your options open. From my perspective, you should approach uni with an open mind and try to get as much experiences under your belt as possible. Then you will be in a better position to decide what you want to do. When thinking about a career, you...

Im with the APS at the moment, Im mainly responsible for handling HR for a multi billion dollar infrastructure programme. I also work on the people governance and compliance side of things. So an average day for me is like standard HR (recruitment, L&D etc) mixed in with workforce planning...

If you love it then do it, you've just got to work hard at it. Like, one of my mates works like a dog but he loves law and has wanted to do it his whole life (he works at a mid-tier). It was wrong for me because I didnt really care for it, I did it for the money. Im a public servant, I...

Couldnt agree more with this - I dropped out of law and managed to finish my commerce degree in three years. Hands down the best thing I ever did. In the two years I spent working instead of being at uni, I managed to get a property and pay off a decent hunk of it. I see a few of my mates in...

Currently with ANZ and very dissatisfied. Ive done some research but not enough, Im leaning towards an industry superfund. I should really speak to someone in the know just regards to whether it's worthwhile at this stage. Long term I would consider a SMSF and perhaps invest it in property.

There are definitely jobs in the law field, it is just competitive and some people miss out. If you work hard on professional development during uni, you shouldn't have an issue. If you dont put in any effort to develop yourself and expect to waltz out of uni and land straight into a job then...

Re: ATAR Notes vs Bored of Studies The thing with something like this is sustainability. As I said before, eventually Mods get older and they just cant keep providing this kind of service. It has to be a perpetual thing whereby new users come on and start providing the service. Ive always...

Re: ATAR Notes vs Bored of Studies I think this is a fair point about BoS. What you have to remember though is that a lot of the Mods on BoS are quite old and removed from the HSC. Like for me, I graduated from uni several years ago and have been working full-time for quite a while now. So...

You can always transfer, do B Econ at USyd and transfer after a year or so, chances are you will get credit for completed units.

Cant speak to the degree combination, but in relation to the majors there isnt really a need to pick right now. Id go into uni open minded and do the core units first before narrowing down on a major. I went into Commerce intending to do either finance or accounting and ended up in HR. PS...
