Is it ok to say I have no idea what I want to do?? I also have no UAI aims...
I like the idea of interior design or a business degree??

It's not that hard to get a job as a garbage collector - you don't need extensive education or training.
Sure it is, you have to navigate around streets @ 3am while trying not to convulse at the stinkfest following you. :eek: gasp drive gasp.

It's interesting my aim of becoming a garbage truck driver has sparked such conversation.
It's not overly hard in the scale of things to train as a GTD but jobs are sparse and it's harder for just out of school leavers.

I really aim at the more common category of law/psychology.
But I'd like to be a GTD for a day along with the other things I couldn't do for a life time.

School feels so safe in a way if you think about it. You don't have to worry about the realities of life, such as bills, food, daily essentials, etc. It's just school work after school work. The path is set, and you know where to go next, such as progressing from year 7 to 8, then to 9, etc.

However, when you enter the "big wide world", many people are confused and lost, and don't know what to do next. I guess that even though there is uni after school, it is still scary in a way.

Lols don't know where this all came from, but just felt like expressing my views about life after high school.

Kinda random and irrelevant, but for some reason I just get this loud voice in my head booming "BRAVE. NEW. WORLD." when I see that <.<

And no, I'm not an English nerd reading so much of the novel that I see it everywhere :eek:

Well I won't kill myself if I don't achieve the UAI I want as I can do a diploma at TAFE and use that to apply for UNI for 2009.

Damn, so true, yet so harsh. I wonder how many people are going for MBBS at UNSW this year.
