I know this is an old post, but I wouldnt say there is any specific degree needed for politics. Law and Political Science are probably the most relevant, but I dont think they are necessary. Im not too sure regarding the specifics of entering politics (i.e. dealing with the AEC etc), but...

Blunt but accurate. There are so many better alternatives if those are your motives. I can never understand why people think that a maths related degree has low job prospects - I think it's just a by-product of insular HS/Uni thinking. This is the era of big data and people with mathematics...

Overall, I think students and society are largely to blame for this issue. A lot of pundits and politicians refuse to admit the underlying cause of these issues simply because there are easier scapegoats. The left blames a lack of funding whilst the right blames teachers. The harsh truth is...

The release of several reports recently seems to indicate a fall in Australia's overall educational performance. What are your thoughts on this as to the causes? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-30/australia-declines-in-global-education-report/8077474...

He was being pragmatic. Ultimately, Clinton had sealed the nomination at that point and endorsing her ensured that he got influence on the democratic platform. As I said before, government might not be working, but people must understand it's limitations. You have to compromise in government...

Guys, just a reminder to keep the conversation civil.

I disagree with America's decision, but nonetheless he was fairly elected - I havent denied this fact. I also disagree with these protests and all the whinging and whining over the election, it's a distraction. The discussion now needs to focus on the issues how best to solve them. I think...

See, I dont view Trump as being right wing at all. This election wasn't about right vs left, liberal vs conservative. It was about populism vs the establishment. The right wanted Trump to lose almost as much as the left. If you look carefully at Trump's policies, he draws from the right and...

So we're supposed to trust someone who has admittedly exploited the same system his whole life? He might have the right message, but he wasn't the right man - Bernie was the right man.

Id like to see Australia's economy diversify a bit from mining, from what Ive observed Queensland, WA and Adelaide have really suffered from the downturn.

Id consider myself a Democrat and I couldnt agree more with this - pointing the finger at everyone but themselves for this failure. Same goes for the Republicans as well.

Pretty much how I feel about Republicans, so we will agree to disagree. My point still stands, the Democrats have been largely ineffectual towards reaching out and firing up their base in the last few cycles. A huge opportunity has been missed over the past few years which Bernie Sanders (a...

In my view, the Democrats bear significant blame for the rise of Trump and pretty much the rise of movements like the Tea Party. They didnt do nearly enough to cut them off or at least counter with a strong appeal to their working class base.

Im the opposite, I felt Trump was on the right track with the issues facing the US, but dont think he had the solutions. Bernie was the right man for the job and I think the Democrats now realise that rigging the primary system in favour of Clinton was a huge mistake. Why on earth they did...

Or worse Ted Cruz.

Or how many illegals will be required to build it.

It's a surprising result to be honest, but I guess as Brexit demonstrated anything is possible. I understand people's frustration, but to me putting your money on Donald Trump to fix things is absolutely ludicrous. The man is woefully unqualified and his background cannot stand up to any...

I think what he is trying to say is keep your options open. From my perspective, you should approach uni with an open mind and try to get as much experiences under your belt as possible. Then you will be in a better position to decide what you want to do. When thinking about a career, you...

Im with the APS at the moment, Im mainly responsible for handling HR for a multi billion dollar infrastructure programme. I also work on the people governance and compliance side of things. So an average day for me is like standard HR (recruitment, L&D etc) mixed in with workforce planning...

If you love it then do it, you've just got to work hard at it. Like, one of my mates works like a dog but he loves law and has wanted to do it his whole life (he works at a mid-tier). It was wrong for me because I didnt really care for it, I did it for the money. Im a public servant, I...
