I owe you one beer, amazing advice.
I'm doing environmental science. I should have done development studies, it sounds more elite at parties, enviro science is for plebs.

Are you kidding me? I think I would've rathered do that..well, maybe more Environmental Management. They're all a bit wanky really but I guess the science kids were a bit more nerdy

Dunno what you heard about parties? The ones I've been to are fun but they're very cruisy and mostly full of people talking about what they're studying atm haha, WOOOOOOOOO! PARTAY!!

If you want more specifics on particular subjects let me know and I'll go through my shit...that was all stuff I remembered off the top of my head, pretty vague.

 

[Graney]

I think I am studying 'environmental management', It's what environmental science became post 2004 if I understand correctly, only really a change in name and marketing mostly I think.

Nah, I'm sweet for advice, I just wanted to know which courses I should take to pass without too much work. Looks like SOCA3060, LEIS3130, GEOG3090 and something else.

I haven't done any third year courses yet at all, they're a concern, probably unnecessarily so. The core courses look pretty intense, if usefull for later employment.

 

[em_516]

Oh true. I think there must've been some actual Enviro Science kiddies when I went through though because some people said they did science and others said they did management.

What are you planning on doing after graduating? Surely you should be choosing things of interest rather than ease I really wouldn't recommend SOCA3060 except for how bludgey it is. I don't think it really benefits anyone haha.

Third year subjects are pretty meh. I was kinda nervous about them too when I went into third year but yeh, it's just like year 12, a tiiiiiiiny bit harder than the year before but you're prepared for it and every subject has a mild introductory component anyway. I mean you never just get thrown assignments. You're always given the tools to complete the assignment through each weeks work. I wouldn't worry

I'm planning on claiming welfare following graduation

I've realised I really hate research, which is kind of a downer when you're doing an enviro science degree, because 95% of jobs come down to preparing a report at some point.

I'm too far gone now to give it up, I have to finish, though I have no will or love of the course. I'm just looking to get it done easy as. After that, long term, I'm seriously looking at going into a trade.

 

[em_516]

Aww that's a shame. I love my degree but it's really going to get me fuck all. I wish I had done Urban Planning straight up but hey, didn't know these things back then. High Schools should probably spend some time going through specific university options...

OMG twins!

OMG twins!

The trend on the UNCLE forum seems to be that noone can graduate from a single degree in the normal 3 year, full time load.

 

[The_highwayman]

that's coz we're all bums.

 

[em_516]

Totally could've.

Totally couldn't be fucked though, AMIRITE GUYS? Yeh.
Actually I wish I had now because then I'd be doing something else now lol.

 

[The_highwayman]

if i hadnt changed my uac application at the last minute i'd be in my final semester of biomed.

but then, knowing me, i'd probably be doing photography or some other degree at the opposite end of the spectrum
