Life after uni? (1 Viewer)

[ChelseaMiller]

Hey

I do a science and arts double and currently my WAM is only ~72. This semester isn't going well and I don't think I'll be improving. So I'm having a quarter life crisis with what to do in the future. What jobs can I get from a mark like that? I guess I'm not really looking for an extravagant life style, I'm happy living simply.

Also, any exam stress/motivational tips would be appreciated ^_^

Thanks

Well first off, the jobs market doesnt work like school when it comes to marks - having a specific WAM isnt going to get you into a grad job like a specific ATAR would get you into certain courses. In most fields, marks are decreasing in importance when it comes to getting a graduate job. Focus on building your CV outside of uni, maybe that will bring you some happiness.

Hmm... alright.. Well, I have a job but it's not at all related to the field I'm studying. I think it's getting my foot in the door that's hard. Currently, I have no experience in either of my degrees. So how would I get that practical experience when I have none at all?

Oh it's a thing alright!
And extra curricular sounds good. It seems I'd need a big list to compensate for marks haha.
