So I do an Engg/Comm degree, and I was just wondering how they will determine my mark. The double degree course rules state: Candidates will be awarded a separate testamur for each degree completed. Does this mean that I'll be awarded 2 certificates, one for engineering and one for commerce...

^ What he said. Many companies won't want to hire you, just because you lack the skills to actually do anything useful. But if you have time, just call as many companies as you can. It's a numbers game. The more companies you call, the greater the chance of a company accepting you!

Yeah the commute is pretty annoying. Saving a day's worth of commute on public transport is saving nearly $40 per semester, which I'd rather keep :P

"Today Google has more than 70 offices in more than 40 countries around the globe." Also from the Google website. Having an office in a certain country does not mean they are only employing people from that country. Of course they need employees in India, if they wish to have a significant...

Google has headquarters everywhere around the world. But it is headquartered in the US (ie it's main HQ is in the US). "We moved into our headquarters in Mountain View, California—better known as the Googleplex—in 2004." (http://www.google.com.au/about/company/facts/locations/). Having a HQ in...

What was OP's original Q?

Re: Laptops @ Uni I think the laptop would come in handy when you're in a lecture that requires you to take down a lot of notes, since you can take down notes faster. You'll also have access to the lecture slides (assuming the lecturer put them up before the lecture) and so even if the lecturer...

Wait, what? I'm so confused...

Re: Why does everyone make it seem like Investment banking is so difficult to get int Errr, maybe a lot of those guys didn't get your sarcasm?

Brah, did Advanced Stats. Maths fite me. Also, so many people who don't believe in God say "Thank God I didn't do it" or "God bless you" or even "Oh my God". Or are you saying that anyone who says "Oh my God" or "OMG" believes in the existence of a God? And what exactly does someone sneezing...

... Well at least you're not wrong

Re: Why does everyone make it seem like Investment banking is so difficult to get int I know right, that's all there is to it. People just whinge too much!

Wait, can you explain this more? Wouldn't doing a double degree with something like Engineering OR Science (assuming you can do that) increase the number of hours spent on campus just because that's how those kinds of degrees are?

Woah, year 9. You defs need to slow down lol. My year 10 maths teacher said 5.3 was slightly easier than 2u and I personally found that to be true, maybe it was a placebo effect :/

woops, totally missed that. My bad haha

But is his/her degree 3 years or 4 years? Would that make a difference, and if so did you peeps take that into account?

Plus, I know a lot of Engineers who are in C-level positions at a range of firms (I remember looking this up a while ago). Over the course of 40 years, there are just way too many variables for anyone to say that one group of graduates will earn more than another (unless it's something pretty...

Maths? Are you sure? At usyd there's quite a lot of females doing maths subjects.

If you're homeless, would you still have a medicare card? Legit question. I assume no, so wouldn't trips to GP's already cost homeless people a hell of a lot? Also, the co-payment was supposed to fund some medical research program. What happens to the program now that it's lost its source of...
