Large well capitalised miners are still hiring, and taking many interns. Obviously better to do a broad degree like civil, mech, elec rather than mining.

Yep that's correct. If you want to make it easier, do undergrad here, get 2.1 or 1st class honours and do a graduate course like a masters.

Imperial would be a pretty boring place to go. Unless you love studying.

Apologies for the omission, I was only small then ;) Miner: I assume you are in SA?

Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread Does anyone have the 2007 Financial Mathematics paper (math2070). There are no past papers :(

David Easdown is a great maths lecturer. Charlie Macasakill is a pretty good tutor also. I heard Peter Buchen is awesome too.

You know you could have just pmed Newbie or Geetarjoe. Congratulations on the fact that banks are fighting over you in a down market. :rolleyes: What is with your threads that are jumping the gun so much? Salaries - when you didnt even have the offer, then this?

Only problem is when Iron Ore contracts with Chinese steel mills are renegotiated in April 2009. Prices will tank then. I have just written a piece on what you have mentioned. Coking coal and Iron ore are at spectacular highs because of the fact that they are traded off exchange and only in...

And how would you know? Iirc you are a Business student from UTS, not a Masters of Applied Finance student.

You haven't failed yet, so just study (you still have 3 weeks before exams). In the off chance you do fail (which you shouldn't), you will have to make up those 6 credit points sometime in your degree (doesnt matter when). Don't do summer school as it's all full fee.

Im doing a short report, where the lecturer said it 'should be no longer than 2 pages.' Does this include the reference list?

What kind of world do you live in? CEOs are not cautious about what they say. If you have followed any of this crisis, you will realise that CEOs are full of it. Remember the Bear Stearns CEO saying that the bank was well capitalised just days before it collapsed?

Do what you enjoy. Seriously, I dont study at all for the subjects I enjoy, and still do better than the other subjects I loathe and study for.

I used to like QANTAS, but now they are not a FF partner with my credit card (as of March 09 when they switch to direct sweep). Looks like Krisflyer is the new program ill be sweeping towards. Favourite: Singapore.

I guess you could always reverse the parameters ;) Thanks for the post.

Actually head of Lehman in Aus is a dr, and one of the execs is a vet. Not sure how current that is, but it was true at one stage. Banking does not need specific skills, it has a generic skill set but needs dedicated and intelligent people.

Have you learnt any technical analysis in your finance major and if so, what did you learn? Just a quick question for people who have finished a finance major....

Hasn't really missed much, it's still just an accounting internship.

That was the most useless post i've read all day. At UNSW, you do one major in com, one in science. At usyd, you can do up to 5 majors if subject areas overlap, or you can do 4 comfortably.
