degrees in demand (1 Viewer)

[thejosiekiller]

from what you have read in newspaper what degrees do you think are needed in the workplace?

and what degrees are less needed or what degrees do too many people have? does pressure play a role in distunguishing yourself?

also do you think if you complete your undergraduate degree you are ready for employment? Or do you plan on going onto postgrad work...

im sure there is some article out there covering this so go find it...

Any health field (be it medicine, nursing, or allied health)...do it and you will never be in want of a job.

True. It may be a low paying job, and not necessarily one you like, but you will never need to be out of a job, regardless.

True, but they dont get paid enough for what they do, except doctors and Pharmacists who get paid quite well

Being a health girl, of course I'm going to agree with you on that point

why is the uai cut off for town planning lower than most "architectural" stuff?

someone plan out the city! its a mess!!!

 

[santaslayer]

Most "Architectural stuff", at least at unsw, is basically the same UAI, except B Architecture, cause that degree is pretty in demandish.... Although offering incentives and better scholarships for B Planning wouldn't be a bad idea.
Don't forget that UAI is purely on demand and number of places- I've heard USyd say that you only really need a mid 80's UAI to have the skills to do Combined Law, but the demand is so high that's never seen. In the same way, you can get into an Engineering degree with high 70's or low 80's, which doesn't in any way reflect the level required.

Which is why engineering has such a high drop out rate. That, and we're a bunch of fucken alcos
