What Do You Do 4 A Living?

[Paradizzle]

I have three part time jobs:

1. Random odd jobs at a motormechanic, when I have time to go there in between uni

2. Making pizzas, and very occasionly doing deliveries

3. washing dishes at a resteraunt.

I'm also doing 1st year bach of mechanical engineering and business at Swinburne in Hawthorn.

do you drive past 'the hawthorn' at around 12:30 or so most mondays, as i am normally eating a parma and see a black 32 with stickers on it drive past....

I did a Bach of Eng (Robotics and Mechatronics) and Bach App Sci (Computer Science and Software engineering) for 6 years at swinny, worked part time as a software tester for the second half of my course, now have been a software engineer/developer for the last year and a half at a bio med company. Currently deciding what to do when my contract expires at the end of June, stay or go somewhere new

i'm kinda disliking it now coz i'm struggling lol. alot of work, mostly theory and it's pretty hard (for me anyway).

but yeah first two years are in the city and they're pretty boring. mechanical/aerospace/automotive students are together in years 1 and 2.

years 3 and 4 are in bundoora campus and should be better coz we'll be doing more and bigger projects. 4th year there's the formula SAE project car which we'll be working on.

what makes it difficult, i know im going to suck with the maths, thats the only thing that shitted me in the course outline, everything else seemed very coold

[Guest IH8VEE8S]

if you've done well in yr12 in subjects like maths and physics then it shouldn't be a problem.

i'm just too lazy and when you don't do any work, you struggle :

Completed Year 12 in 2003 and absolutely had enough with school and studying so I didnt carry on to uni. That was back in perth

3/4 of 2004 Whilst back in Perth, I worked for a company called Austrahose, which is a Direct Importer/Supplier of Hose and Fittings (to the smaller hose+fitting shops and mining industry). I worked in Sales and service over there. Was good fun.

Being originally from Melbourne, I moved back over after getting a job.

Since September 2004, I work as a Full time Sales Consultant for Wurth Australia. Massive German company that is heavily involved in the Automotive/engineering industry. I look after the North Eastern suburbs (Cambpellfield,Fawkner, Reservoir, Thomastown, Epping, Lalor, Millpark, Preston etc) and really enjoy it. Im around cars almost all day, get to know plenty of good people, good customers in the panel and mechanical trade to work on my car etc. I look after some pretty cool customers as well,such as the FPR (ford perf racing) Supercar team, Prodrive, Monaro Performance, Rajab Racing, Promaz, Selectmaz, JPC etc.

When I had finished yr 12 wanted to be a chopper pilot in the army, sorta want to live life a bit before big commitments.

In the last year my cousin has persuaded me to join the Police force, so in the next year it may be, I have my test in 2 months .
