what career are you looking to go into after uni? (1 Viewer)

[grk_styl]

i think if u do a b eco or something like that, you can very easily go back and get a dip ed or a masters in teaching straight away. heaps of people do it.

Yeah, to go back to do Masters/B Teach in the open day last year they showed me this 4 page form, you just fill it out, get approval from the DET for the degree you've just done, some other piece of paper and then just apply for the M/B Teach. Sounds good and easy...

And you get a better qualification than if you do an education course.

Really? What's the diff between B/M Teach and B Ed? From what I heard if you have a masters it gets you into a higher pay bracket... but that's very grape vine....

 

[zeropoint]

Good question. I haven't given too much thought to career prospects. All I really know is that I'm hoping to study abroad in France next year, and hopefully write a PhD thesis in physics for usyd at the end of my degree. After that, I might consider a professorship or a research career in either France, Australia or the USA.

As far as I know, Masters is better than a Bachelor, and sends you into a better pay bracket (as you said).

But if you're still only a regular teacher aren't you still doing the same job, same work and hence not deserving of more pay?

 

[jhakka]

No idea. I'm just going on what I've heard.

Masters is better I think...But a B Ed is better than a B Teach and a Dip Ed. jhakka, you're not missing out. the ed/arts is a fantastic degree!!!

I'm certainly not worried. I can't wait to start. I just feel that it's a bit odd that someone who has done a specialised teaching degree for five years isn't getting the qualifications of someone who does the two years of Masters (after whatever degree they do first).

I 'spose they would be specialised in whatever area their degree is in, though.

ive actually been told by all my teachings that B Ed is a really bad degree. that your much better off getting a single degree then doing a Dip Ed

 

[grk_styl]

double degrees are splendid! finish it all now and THEN go and work. id rather get a b ed/b arts NOW then do a b arts now and do a dip ed later. like i said a b ed is better than a dip ed. but i think i'll transfer next yr anyway, so i dunno.

Yeah. With me I have 4 years in my first course then another two on top of that to do the the Teaching qualification! SIX YEARS! Then again, compared to some other courses that's nothing.

Re: BEd/BTeach/DipEd/MTeach - one of the art teachers who is my old year adviser at school did his first degree then went back and did a Dip Ed... might be simplest (shortest and cheapest!) doing it that way if one isn't doing a combined course. But from what I have seen the actual postgrad Teaching degree that Syd's offering is a course that is specialised and tailored to the curriculum area in which you are qualified, with units for it etc.

even though i'm doing nursing, i'm hoping to finish with honours or masters to specialise in a nursing field. that or post graduation i'm going to apply for traditional chinese medicine at uts.
