im in final semester atm. but cant graduate till next year. so might as well do 2 more courses and have a double degree under my belt.

from what the staff keep telling us 90+% or something get jobs within the first month, because usc graduates are highly sought after because of the practical nature of the study,

got a mate named charlie. was doing a physical science degree. switched into journalism because it is DAMN EASY.

so if u have a passion for it why not..

only thing is 1st year u are bombarded. u do all courses in first year to get a taste....then u can understand the classes and in years 2 and 3 choose a major and minor.

dont bomb out in 1st year. about 50% drop out because of the workload. stick with it, it weans out all the deadhead retards.

question- how many of you guys have either been to uni, finshed uni or are currently studying? and is it really worth it?

i am considering applying to uni next semester while my op still counts for something. if you got the score i may as well use it i suppose.

I wen't out to USC and studied Education for a year changed too business as i didn't know what i wanted to do, now i have dropped Uni as i move to ACT in 4 weeks and start work for the family business in Canberra as they bought the ACT franchise. But it is worth it, but only if you are 100% sure you know what you are going to do, other wise you will just end up with a HEC bill you don't want. Find something you like and talk to the guidence people at Uni they know all the courses and might inform you of a course or career you never knew.

-1 Don't agree, with the Band that the Sunshine Coast Uni is on, it is much harder to get a job compared to other Uni's students such as Brisbane's, espicially when competing for the same job. A friend had to repeat his entire first year at a Brisbane Uni as higher band Uni's dont count your courses it all depends on the Uni bands, some of the guys i worked with at Myer a year ago all had degree's in Business or some COMMON area and could not get jobs. If you go for a position or career that has a shortage (teacher, doctor, nurse or Engineer)then you are much more likely to find work in a month after study, but then again it might not be what you want to do. The best thing about USC is it's connections with the Sunshine Coast area it will be much easyer for you to find a job in the Sunshine Coast area, as well as giving you work experiance, which in turn could lead to a job, so if it is your plan to stay on the coast it would make sense to study there as it would not matter where you went. Also staff at the Uni would say that to its students, you studing there is paying there wages the more students the better for the Uni and it's staff will be. Would you continue studing there if they told you the possibility of a job after 3 years of hard work and no money, might get you a job or you have a chance of getting a job, you want guarantee’s.

But USC is getting more Recognized as time goes on.

P.S- sorry for going on got nothin better to do just packing for the move. :whistling:

started and gave up twice :thumbsup: not worth it for an IT job coz theres plenty of other training options within the industry.

It's a objective opinion it isn't suppose to be right or wrong, just stated what i have heard and my opinion.

But the Uni staff should not be saying that to students.

Especially with Labour in Now :D

(I did 2 years and just had started my third)

When i was at Uni there were heaps of jobs in my field available, and i would have found a job quite easily.

But each to his own, that the joy of a discusson.

Anyway back to cars.
