I'm enjoying, so it doesnt bother me too much. Besides, I reckon I can use my current career to achieve my ultimate dream, which is to become an Astronaut.

It's all the same to be honest - a degree plus decent marks is just a check box item, it's hardly a distinguishing feature on a CV.

For Law, prestige does count to an extent, although the rest of your CV will have a greater influence. With Commerce, it doesnt really matter, unless you are going for IB maybe.

It depends on the major, but from personal experience, I didnt find it that difficult. I did Law for a while and that was in a whole other league.

Unless you want to be a lawyer, I'd go with the practical experience 100%.

It depends on the person and their apptitude.

You mentioned something about uni and law before, I just wanted to see what you were thinking.

Prestige counts for even less in this market (except for maybe Law and even then, it wont make a big difference). Also mreditor, what course do you plan on doing?

Couldnt agree more with this post. I always view achievement as a product of the individual. If a person puts in their best and gets 70, then I would respect that achievement far more than someone who didnt really try and got 90. I know this sounds like a cop-out, but achievements should be...

Deswa 2.0 - How come you never mention you were this smart! Anyway, congratulations guys, some awesome results here.

That pretty much sums up what I'm thinking - I mean, what is the point? Having been through school and then uni, it really isn't worth going to all that trouble for education. I'm not saying that it is unimportant, but your HSC/Uni results aren't make or break like it is in China. Even if...

Well you'd think so, but to be honest, getting property has a lot more to do with how you spend your money as opposed to how much you earn. My Dad gave me this gem of advice and I have to say it is so true: "It isnt how much you earn, it's how much you spend". When you earn more money, the...

Can be asked about all of this guy's posts.

That's fair - but why exactly would they be "better" than Ruse?

I think it's part of a wider "immigrant" mentality - those from Asian and Indian backgrounds tend to focus on education and to a lesser extent, so do those from European backgrounds. Obviously it stems from the hardships immigrants face and their desire to see their kids have a "better life"...

You could argue that NSW has a better education system than China which would invalidate this comparison. The main reason the Gaokao is undergoing major reforms is because it isnt "fit for purpose", in that it encourages rote learning and is producing a class of professionals which lack the...

I didnt think so, just seemed like a possibility given the information we are getting.

Didnt he say he would trade 5 hostages to speak to Abbott - has this actually happened?

I might be terrible with sourcing information, but this thread and BLIT's posts has kept me more up to date than any one source on the net.

Where's John McClane when you need him...
