Out of just plain curiosity, I'm wondering whether anyone else here had parents did a university degree here in NSW?

As for me, my father did BCom at UNSW.

My parents didn't go past year 10. So of course, I exceeded their expectations when I decided to do year 11.

I am now currently in my final year in Commerce and they're like "WOAH!!"

Who would do a law degree and then an arts degree?

That's akin to doing medicine and then doing teaching.

Mum did nursing before you needed a degree, so she went straight to college after year 10, then into the RAAF. She did a postgraduate thing last year (even though she has no degree) at the school of nursing.

Dad went straight into the RAAF from year 12, and later did a degree in IT or something like that at Macquarie, but he didn't finish it.

Grandpa was a professor of engineering. He built dams and stuff.
