LoL, but i would've laughed, if that was the deciding factor for many of ya course preferences.

 

[woohoo]

haha same here. if that was the deciding factor, then i'd be in nursing for sure.

I'm doing Advanced Science, and I think it's all pretty even in terms of gender. Is anyone here doing Advanced chem or bio?

 

[walla]

yep. special studies chem.

yeah, i'm gonna b doing chem. advanced- but i was enrolled for chem (normal)- does anyone know how to change this...i'm thinking i can do it thru the net.

btw, i'm eligibe for the advanced chem, but just forgot to enrol under that.

I'd suggest ringing the uni tomorrow (monday). I'm not sure you can do it online, but you may be able to over the phone. I'm sure it's easy to fix!

thanx...and hopefully its easy to fix!

btw, another question i wanted to ask is: is there really any jobs for B Science ppl. i mean, i wanna graduate with major in Chem. and Phys (along with my engineering degree)...but how are the job prospects of B Science ppl.

i'm asking this coz, everyone tells me that B Science is a "bachelor of nothing", and that ppl. only do it for 2 reasons: so they can get into graduate med. or do teaching. :s

I heard there were quite decent jobs for science graduates, depending of course on what u majored in. I think maths is generally a really good major to have, as the skills u develop are applicable to almost any job.

well what abt. in my case (major in physics and chemistry)?


btw, is there like a statistic abt. the percentage of graduates who find employment as soon as they graduate?

I think u can find such stats on the careers sub-section on the Usyd website. Also have a look at the good universities guide.

[xiao1985]

median incum of b sci post grad students

 

[xiao1985]

different sectors of sci and their correspondin unemploy rate + incum

 

[xiao1985]

distribution of incum level by percentage of b sci graduates

sori guys, this pic is too large, had to zip it first...

 

[freaking_out]

hmm...yeah, i'll have a look at those- but what do they point out anyway- that there's good employment rates for physics and chemistry graduates?

btw, i wish my career's advisor was as good as yours. :s

and another thing: what course ru doing xiao1985?
