Im a public servant.

The manufacturing sector might be contracting, but infrastructure is definitely booming and the demand for engineers especially in the civil space is growing. Accounting is an odd one, I hear all the time that it is oversupplied, yet it does seem to be quite easy to get a job.

If you look at it from a cost benefit analysis standpoint, there are far better career paths (this coming from someone who wants to do medicine). As for the OP, there might not be many direct career paths with an Arts degree, but many corporate roles these days just require a "tertiary...

So is correct spelling :p.

You know what they say, patience is a virtue.

There are certain post/length of tenure requirements which must be met before you can enter Non-School.

In terms of material, seriously I took my phone, wallet and keys.

I was making more or less a sweeping generalisation about the culture of Australia.

This might be straying a little off topic, but you have to understand the culture of Australia. A controversial opinion, but Australia doesnt reward or value hard work like China, India, Japan, Korea etc. In this country a good education is nowhere near as valued as it is in some countries...

From my experience tutoring junior HS maths, I definitely agree that secondary maths is poorly taught and needs to be much more rigorous. I also believe it should be compulsory like English. The issue with implementing this in my view isn't so much the backlash, but rather the fact that most...

This isnt an IQ thread, please keep conversations on topic.

How can we be the same (you're a little more radical)?

Re: April Fools Pranks Marginalisation promotes extremism. Essentially, the political system in the US and to a lesser extent Australia has marginalised the opinions of many by labelling them as taboo. A perfect example in Australia would be aboriginal welfare - hardly anyone would speak out...

James Ruse select the cream of the crop. Im sure I could turn Sydney FC into the world's best soccer team if I had the money and pull to attract names like Messi, Neymar, Bale, Ronaldo etc.

Guys, Donald Trump is a divisive figure as always and whilst personal attacks may be an element of a Trump rally, they are not to be an element on these forums.

Re: April Fools Pranks I dislike Trump the politician as much as anyone, but this is the sort of rhetoric that has led to his growth. Trump has risen to popularity by representing a large portion of the population that feel marginalised by the political process. Much like Pauline Hanson...
