    timetable help

    Hi, Just feeling confused as to what is the best option - a four day week or a five day as I can still change. The four day week will have nearly full-on classes so could be tiring. And I have it is mostly office hours say 9 to 5. A five day week has no day off so I go everyday but then...

    Doctors/specialists that DON'T do surgery?

    Most guys and girls I know of are in Med for money and prestige. C'mon, it is all about status or else how can people who claim to be very fond of Maths and Physics just give their favorite subjects as soon as they finish HSC. I mean getting ranks and all in maths or physics and then suddenly...

    aerospace jobs

    sikhman...since you have done some serious research, can you suggest which engineering speciality is a safe play from all angles? So that way we get to study physics/maths related subjects and yet get a decent job in the end. Civil/geotechnical is one such I know but then geotechnical is so...

    aerospace jobs

    It's good that you will go for what you really like. Otherwise, again and again we see how people give up their favorite subjects and go for some other field just to go with the herd. See, most of them who got ATAR as good as ours, want medicine whether they like biology related subjects or...

    aerospace jobs

    Mmmm....rookie, you were really intrested in aerospace all the time. So how come you don't want it now. Did you miss it as your ATAR was not above 99? I mean, people who have already got the offer for aerospace might be discouraged with your presentation of negative job prospects. I am sure if...

    Reasons to do Med/dentistry; Reasons to not do Med/dentistry

    Med or Accounting? Why do people think of going to only these two fields? At least those who love Maths and Physics should go for either high level engineering or for research in Maths or Physics. At least those who say they do not wish to work for the sake of only moneyshould think...

    Telecommunication Engineering or Electrical Engineering?

    Often times when one is young, one finds it difficult to digest that someone older (and wiser) has entered their domain and is interacting whereas all that matters on these forums is that somebody should come forward and help. It does not matter in which year they completed their HSC. My mum...

    Engineering vs Science

    Thanks for your suggestions. Well, science indeed has good job options but as my parents say, the success comes very late and the job cannot be defined till say after one's MSc or even PhD. A good Engo branch on the other hand makes one employable even after Bachelor's degree. And if one...

    Engineering vs Science

    Friends! I have been thinking about doing advanced maths or science degree from USyd. ATAR too is above 99. But I am worried about the job prospects of a BSc degree - even the advanced ones. I have been bombarded by suggestions that a high ATAR Engineering degree would be better than...

    Advanced Sc vs Engineering

    I too have been thinking about doing advanced maths or science degree from USyd. ATAR too is above 99. But I am worried about the job prospects of a BSc degree - even the advanced ones. I do love pure maths and sciences but I have been bombarded by suggestions that a high ATAR Engineering...

    places in PhB

    Humphdogg...I have been keen to know about PhB. If you are already doing this course, what will you suggest to others. What were your goals before starting the course and what are your hopes from it now? Often times I have heard that peole join in hoping to become a great scientist...

    Important advice for all those considering studying engineering next yr

    Why is engineering disliked so much in this country? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In other countries it is liked as much as say medicine. In America so many engineers get great jobs every year. In Australia, people rate simple arts degrees or say BEd better than engineering. Even law, commerce and even...

    How easy is the secondary education without tuition centers?

    In pervious years, that is in Years 10, 11 and even before I kept on repeating that I do not need tutors like others do. In year 12 now, I still do not have a single tutor. But I feel those who go for tutoring, do end up gaining in some way. I was doing very well till Year 11. But even in...

    dropping hsc

    Good suggestions. Will pass them on to her. She says her school cares only for the toppers, as she once was at the top as well but only this year her results came down, and now her school doesn't even remember she was very bright all those years. It kind of hurts her so she wants to leave the...

    Engineering/Dentistry

    Funny...Australia is one country that doesn't value Maths and Physics related degrees. America is a place for intelligent people who love scientific subjects. Even during HSC, guys and girls with half my knowledge of maths/physics are able to cram and get good marks in the internals. These...

    TSFX or EdAssist for Trials Prep?

    Wonder if guys and girls who go to EdAssist or TSFX go to their own private tutors or coaching colleges too? The more I realise that most people do go for one or more than one form of tutoring, I wonder if my approach was right. I decided not to go for any tution. But just not feeling good...
