Done :). I didnt put my details down, but if you want to talk to me more about this, just hit me up with a PM and I'd be more than happy to go into more depth. I'm very passionate about this issue.

As crobat has said, this is changing, but in Law the uni you go to does count a little more than other fields. In most established Law firms, the partners have a great deal of influence over hiring strategy (much moreso than other business where that is left to HR) and many have an "old boy"...

It would be better to have Commerce, but a Law degree on it's own can open some doors in the Commerce field. Obviously areas like finance or accounting would be out, but Law is useful for quite a few commerce fields. There are a whole heap of fields within commerce that uni doesnt cover and a...

Well, you're going to have a table with customer information and then one with rentals. Customers should each have a unique ID number (which will be the primary key) and the rental table should have a unique rental ID number (which will be it's primary key). In the rental table, you should...

There is a really good tutorial app you can get if you have an iPhone/iPad which can help (it has videos and stuff). What will the DB be used for? Is it like a small business type thing (with customer details, orders etc)?

It really depends on how large the database is, but I dont think two days is nearly enough even with Access. You need to really plan it out well, because it's the type of thing where if you dont think ahead, you're going to have to redo quite a few things, which can be super time consuming. I...

Depends on what you need?

MS Excel skills are really important for quite a few corporate jobs, so I definitely think it's worth building your skills in this area. The big data trend seems to be here to stay and the amount of reporting that goes on in a business is quite extensive. I learnt Excel through my degree and...

Moved to a new thread as I think this has value to the community.

Can I ask, why is this in the HR part of the business forums?

I guess for me, it was more the psychology behind it which never really existed for other things I've done. I'd still rate it as being a key time for me in terms of being character building and such. I know it was only the HSC, but it still remains my proudest achievement, mainly because I...

Didnt it used to be the other way around a few years back? In my view, a "failure" is someone who never gives it a go. If you have assessed your skills and dont believe you can do it, then fair enough (I'd still argue that you should give it a go). But if you are quitting because you are...

Rephrase, I like to avoid debt as much as possible.

I have decided to re-open this thread, as it contains some valuable advice for the community.

I just cant stand debt of any kind.

If you're under 18, you need your parents to act on your behalf. I got my first shares at 10 I think (I was in Year 4).

I have a Commsec account from when I was like 10, I think I should try getting access to it again because I havent touched it in years. As for me, I use Commonwealth for everyday transactions and QANTAS Credit Union for savings.

Depends on your skill level and ability - it can be done, but not be everyone. Too be honest, what you're proposing is a pretty solid study schedule - it doesn't seem like a lot, but it's a lot more than what most do.

Every year we get threads like this going on about how much harder uni is than HS like it's some kind of surprise. I mean, what do people expect? Uni is tertiary education, it wouldn't make sense if it were equal to or easier than HS. Success in HS, uni and even the workplace is all about...

I cant be 100% sure, but knowing the uni, they dont rely on arbitrary cut-offs or marks as the sole means of determining entry. I think they would consider both and as I said before, they arent in a position to be very discriminating. Your best bet would be to give the uni a call - they are...
