Why do so many people boast about their UAI? (1 Viewer)

[bigb0yjames]

Having had the opportunity to do both and talking to people in their field and having one parent being a surgeon and the other being a barrister I'm pretty sure I know a fuckload more about the state of the market than some retard who can barely communicate in pidgin english.

Keep on deluding yourself though, sunshine.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[bigb0yjames]

nottellingu, dont fuck around with schroedinger...srsly. dont.

 

[nottellingu]

Care to share a bit more of what you know about the market ?
I know surgeons that make more than 200K...not like 200K is a small amount....nor should salary be the only important factor when picking a career.

For you 08ers, the UAI might seem important now because you're still waiting for uni offers, but once you begin uni it basically becomes a thing of the past. Yep, you got UAI of ______ but everyone starts on the same square at uni. Uni marks are in no way correlated to anyone's UAI (i.e. those with top UAIs don't necessarily get top uni marks). The boasting stops there because most people around you scored similar UAIs, so the achievement is not such a big deal to them lol. So if you really want to boast, you have about 2 months left to do it lol

If you intend to tutor, then yes you'll need your HSC marks/UAI for marketing purposes later on, but keep in mind it's the results of your students that matter, not necessarily your own.

yea OK

Your opinions are .... LOL

And your opinions are anecdotal and wrong.

I suggest that you actually listen to people who know what they're talking about instead of going on a crusade, spouting out the shit you've been taught by your ill informed parents who probably believe that the only way you could contribute to society or get a job is in medicine and law, because those are really great, amazing jobs...

Seriously man. Shut the fuck up you dumb fucking twat, and don't you dare rant on about how things are subjective. Your uai doesn't matter, it is one particular route of getting to one destination, faster or more direct than another.

No one cares, and if they do care then they obviously too are deficient in any sort of knowledge of how life works.

Way to go, wrote learn everything, get a good uai, fail at life and end up doing the same shit as everyone else but stay deluded, justify your schooling with a mark.

Justify yourself.

Haha, im pretty sure that i know a fair bit about courses im planning to enter. There is a big difference in talking to new graduates and doing research yourself than just getting ypur opinions from a parent who graduated 30 years ago.

Yes i agree...but its also an achievement, thats all im saying.

How do u know im going to do the same shit as everyone else ? What defines a good uai ? Infact i think most subjects i did generally arent so much wrote learnt.

 

[Ivorytw]

don't you dare rant on about how things are subjective.

We are right.

 

[nottellingu]

Don't be a jealous bitter fuck.

i'm better than you.

I think this pretty much sums it up:

A Novel Look at Physician Income: Why a medical career is the wrong career if money is one of your primary motives

 

[bigb0yjames]

i dropped out of MBBS aswell. so Schroedinger is correct

 

[Riet]

btw, plenty of people I work with earn 60-75K a year without a degree. I suppose there is no room to improve on that, but I'd much rather be doing my current job then being a wage slave at a desk for less dollars.

 

[bigb0yjames]

my cousins husband makes 85K a year without a single qualification. done year 10. came to australia like 15 months ago.

What's this chose life, live forever bullshit Ashton?

Been watching a bit too much Trainspotting eh

 

[Pwnage101]

interesting where this thread has gone...lol

 

[Rhanoct]

Don't be a jealous bitter fuck.

I got 95.65 - i'm better than you.

<3

 

[spence]

wow ! LOL i really dont know what to say. From all reports its a course with a reputation of being filled with med hopefulls.

By 'from all reports' you mean from all reports except that of the 4th year med science student?

 

[Tristanator]

Anyone starting to round their uai up when people ask?

96.65 sounds gay, so I just say 97

99.x doesn't quite have the impact of a '100'

 

[Pwnage101]

99.x doesn't quite have the impact of a '100'

mmm...i don't know what it is, but to me the sound of '99.xx' has a nice sound to it, compared to 100

dont get me wrong, 100 is better than 99.xx, but, i dunno what it is, maybe because it takes longer to say?

lol (end of ramble)
