Im still kicking - I just realised the other day that Ive been doing this for 4.5 years now...

Im definitely leaning towards it - the thing is I dont know if Ill regret going for the Omega over the Rolex. A Rolex is something Ive always wanted, but researching it and shopping around Im not 100% convinced. It just feels as if the price/hype doesn't really match the product (I think Rolex...

Ive never had an automatic or a manual before. Ill be honest, Im leaning towards the Omega - I dont think Ill mind winding it up mainly because it's pretty simple (the Omega salesperson showed me how). Also, I kind of prefer the manual because it is more authentic and traditional.

Ive decided that it's time to participate in a bit of a coming-of-age tradition by buying myself a really nice watch. Ive shopped around and come up with a shortlist, but Im a bit indecisive as to which to buy. Im looking for a watch that I can wear forever which is timeless, distinctive and...

I think it was a good move as well, the tournament so far has been competitive and you could argue even moreso than the WC.

It's the same issue every time, they just arent much of a team in that they lack cohesion, a style of play and an identity. Hence why I think they dont reach the success of Italy, Germany, Holland, France, Spain etc.

Burn.

I think the surprise regarding Iceland is a little overstated. I mean, they are ranked 34th in the world and midway through last year they were around 25th. They also came close to qualifying for the 2014 World Cup and beat Holland twice in the Euro qualifiers. In their games so far they have...

Why jump to such an extreme? I agree maths needs to be improved, but is such drastic action needed and what affect will it have? I think this shows a lot of arrogance on your part judging people on a small aspect of their skillset. The student in question is currently a Fireman and he worked...

The point I was trying to make is that maybe the issue isnt that serious. I mean, as I said earlier in the thread, I do think Maths needs to be changed, but ultimately, I dont think it will have a significant impact on the nation's performance in key areas. I agree to some extent, but I think...

Australia ranks very highly on most indicators of national performance including 2nd in HDI which measures life expectancy, education, and income per capita. Our education system might be behind some other countries, but evidence would suggest that Australia is doing very well regardless.

Re: Any other uni students beginning to feel that career and study aren't that import Id get killed on the science component, the last time I studied a science subject was for my School Certificate which was 8 years ago.

General Maths absolutely has a place in the HSC for students who want some background in it, but dont really need maths going forward for university.

It depends on the course though. Obviously, Engineering and Actuarial should have more stringent criteria, but like, with a Commerce degree, you really don't need HS Economics or Business Studies. I dont think subjects you select in year 10 should totally limit your options for university...

Re: Any other uni students beginning to feel that career and study aren't that import Reality, Im just not good enough to get in.

Apologies for not responding to this earlier, I completely missed it. To answer your question, it depends on whether you can major in it through the BBA (from what I understand, a BBA has no majors). Assuming Im correct, a BBA would be sufficient for some, entry level/junior roles, but to...

Harsh but very true. Actuarial Studies requires an extremely strong background in Math's from HS. From what I understand, that involves doing 3U/4U. Saying you want to do Actuarial Studies because you are a "natural" at General Math's is like saying you can perform heart surgery because you...

Re: Any other uni students beginning to feel that career and study aren't that import I consider my career largely unimportant. Ive been fortunate enough to work for some great organisations and people, but ultimately, this isnt my desired career at all. I see my current career as a means to...

If you work Full Time and require a suit and tie, you will need at least $1200 to build a decent wardrobe I reckon. Even though I work in government, I do invest a fair bit in work stuff because I think being well dressed shows attention to detail and because I enjoy wearing nice stuff. Im...
