I'm all for getting rid of useless courses and university not necessarily guaranteeing you a well paying job, but jobs in an industry that require qualification should compensate the earning of said qualification to a degree (see what I did there). Other industries do it, with many companies paying employees to do courses paid for by the employer - why should it be any different?

The only argument I see against it is if you believe in free market, where it's obviously a popular job role to be in hence can pay so little in spite of needing to go to university for it.

yeah spose the university method is flawed because each yeah 10000 people graduate but there's no certainly of 10000 available jobs couldn't think of anything worse than studying for 4 years for no end result..

That's just how it goes I know but seems like it needs looking at IMO.

Das me mayne.

Big investment for the business. Only reason why I left was they were trying to put me on an unreasonable salary with no negotiation. Looks bad on me for leaving less than 1 year after I qualify, and makes HR not interested in doing the program anymore. The course I did has since been stopped and now only way to do it is correspondence to WA.

What birds said, plus I'm guessing you dont pay commission on your own houses etc...

When you buy? There is no commission for the buyer to pay but it's quite hard to buy through own agency it's more hassle than it's worth

Its a broken system and I wouldn't be surprised if uni enrollments have diminished over the years and will continue to. Not unlike the housing situation it's something that needs to be looked at because heaps of people never end up paying back their uni debts and/or end up in the welfare lines costing further money.

If I could go back to 17/18 I would have taken up a trade and gotten into investment somewhere. But as a high school kid you're brainwashed to go to uni so you can get a degree and get a good job...go through uni paying to do what your friends are getting paid to do...get out of uni and your tradie mates already have houses and earning more than you. Several years before you overtake them and if they've been wise about their investments you'll never overtake them. Uni is a stepping stone and never a guarantor of a good job or career path but it certainly wasn't advertised with that reality when I was in high school. And I have a job / to a degree am a successful product of the university system, albeit not earning as much as tradie friends - plenty of people who don't even have what I have and well, fk their lives.

Commission would obviously before when she sells. She won't be hiring an agent and she'll probably try to do her own conveyancing too...

Own conveyancing I doubt it, needs to be handled by licensed conveyancer. But yeh save comm selling your own of course

You'd be surprised... people do it but thankfully not that often.

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
