Never in a million years would I have the hide to say something like this - NEVER.

I always offer to pay, but I guess that's upbringing. In 2015, usually it ends up being split.

I hated my whole degree from start to finish. Nothing your first professional paycheck wont fix.

The problem isnt really a lack of jobs, it's a lack of opportunities for graduates. A lot of fields have a demand for experienced professionals, but businesses are reluctant to invest in training graduates because of the costs. I mean, look at engineering - businesses are cutting graduate...

As with all sectors, the government and industry need to do more to encourage firms to offer more programs for graduates. The government does a lot for apprentices, it's time for them to start doing more for university graduates. This short sighted mentality firms have adopted has already...

It's going to look slightly better if you go to a brand name uni, but really the difference is negligible. Employers look at experience, what you bring to the table in terms of skills and ultimately cultural fit. All that is really a product of how you have been shaped by the various...

Done.

I havent checked this thread in a while. Even though it's late, I do check essays occasionally, but it really depends on how busy I am with work/life.

This definitely seems like it would be the case - clearly, it represents a conflict of interest and I couldn't imagine a major institution like USyd not having it in the contract/code of conduct for a tutor.

Here is a copy of a post I made a while back: I know I post this up a lot, but I really think that procrastination has more to do with how you manage your work as opposed to stuff like goals and aspirations etc. The latter is usually what gets you to sit down at the table to study, the former...

Ive decided to move this discussion to NCAP, as I think it has a lot of substance and deserves exposure to a wider audience.

Re: Confessions Definitely with trebs on this one.

Re: Confessions I think it's more or less to reflect on the suffering and death of those who fought.

Re: Confessions Pretty much agree with this - the day should be used to reflect on those soldiers who died and suffered. Despite what you may think of war, I think there should be a high degree of reverence for those who fought in combat (that applies to Axis veterans of WW2 as well)...

I think this is the key point. Obviously, people who do well in the HSC would probably have done well at NAPLAN. But I dont think it's much of a predictor at all - things can change a lot from Year 9 to the HSC.

If you can do the same course close to home and that course isnt law, choose the closer uni I think.

The first few rejections are always tough, it's hard not to feel a little lousy especially if you really want the job. Congratulations man - let us know how it goes.

I think you can definitely improve on Section III. I was having the same problem with that part and I pretty much just did a tonne of practice (I was able to almost quadruple my marks in this section). After a while, you get used to it and you can better identify the patterns, because they are...

That would be the cops. The genius and several of his lad bum chums got an address list for a bunch of teachers. They then "borrowed" their parents cars and egged several of the teacher's houses. They then got pulled over by the cops with a bunch of eggs in the car - the police put two and...

Also, if your group is doing nothing, then maybe that is a sign that you need to take initiative and do it yourself. My philosophy was always that as long as I got good marks, I could careless if others did nothing and profited off my work. I also never reported lazy teammates because the...
