Re: Uni aspirations.

relax i was just like you wen i was in highschool which was last year.....ahh seems so long ago. best option, if u are good at science go for something with science such as medicine etc. i loved chemistry and i ended up doing a bachelor of applied science, medical radiation science diagnostic radiography. Keep in mind that whichever course u choose to do that you will have more chances of getting a job once you are out of uni. luckily for me there is a deficiency of radiologists and scientists in general which equals a guarenteed job [providing i do well etc.etc]

just relax. you will find out towards the end of the year once you get your UAC book.

Re: Uni aspirations.

Of course, I want to get into the most ridiculous course that's offered, Bachelor of Arts (Advanced)(Honours)/Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery@ USyd. 99.95 + an interview?? Thankfully I have lots of backups. Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) or Bachelor of Arts (Media and Communications) being the top two.

Re: Uni aspirations.

capitalism FTW!

Who knows what they want to be when they 'Grow Up'?

Recently I posted a thread asking for help or ideas on what I could do when I left school. I got many helpful replies and found that people shared my thoughts.
So what I want to do is start a thread in which Person A can post a reply saying their subjects and a bit about them, then Person B (or C) offers some ideas and insights .
Discuss.

Re: Who knows what they want to be when they 'Grow Up'?

I'm doing:

Economics
Adv English + Maths
Legal Studies
Biology
PDHPE

I want to do a Bachelors of Commerce (Liberal Studies) at USYD, Majoring in marketing and something else. I want to eventually end up working in marketing for a big firm such as Proctor & Gamble.

If not that, I wouldn't mind working for an international bank doing investment etc.

have you looked into geology and earth science/environmental management related subjects? PM me if you want info, I'm going into my 2nd year of geology and i did all the "resource environmental management" subjects too. The mining boom makes this quite attractive too.
Hope that has given you another area to have a look into.

EDIT - but yes, with the maths you could certainly do *any type* of engineering.

English Advance,
Maths Advance,
Maths Extension 1,
Physics,
Economics,

Looking at Commerce/Engineering double degree, and maybe optometry/medicine if I get high enough a UAI.

I think most would agree these subjects suit what I want to do.

Second idea better. First idea, not so great. They test on animals

Evilo, I never knew you did environmental stuff!! :O

Subjects in my sig...
(plus picking up Spanish).

I think I want to be a LOTE/ESL secondary school teacher. I don't think a science career is right for me. But I'm so passionate about the environment *sigh*.
