Is anyone genuinely enjoying what they're doing at Uni? (1 Viewer)

[jessicahung]

I'm enjoying half my subjects, but the other 2 are boring

Same here. I'm in love with management and microeconomics but accounting and stats really aren't my cup of tea.

 

[Frostbitten]

Love what I am doing. (Otherwise I wouldn't be doing it!)

What job opportunities are there with such a degree Mr Sean?

 

[Nick_K]

I hated first year but am loving 3rd year maths.

 

[ADrew]

Loving everything but the maths! (bio and chem )

What job opportunities are there with such a degree Mr Sean?

Well I am doing it to get into research/academia. And I suppose there would also be the same opportunities I had after undergrad: some graduates from my undergrad degree went into jobs in things like trading / risk analysis / applied mathematics jobs for companies like CSIRO. Academia is much more appealing to me though.

I'm only enjoy the Mathematics component of my course (to an extent). But content should be more interesting in later years.

Wut course r ya doin' at UNI?

Very broad questions. In first year many people do common subjects such as PHYS1131/PHYS1121, MATH1141/MATH1131. It isn't til their later years that they specialise. Consider these as building block subjects for later years. Computing? Cryptography, Data Scientist, working for Google - I don't know ask Goldfish I mean Goldy (he will be able to provide a more extensive list than I). ;P

I'm in second year.

But I'm thinking of doing the same thing, except swapping psych with chemistry .

My first question was to ask you if you did UMAT in highschool.

LAST ONE. I PROMISE. When you applied for UNI, did you apply for math, physics, psycho and comp, or did you apply for something else that requires these great courses?

Thanks.

No. Why do I need to do UMAT?

You apply for a degree, then you choose your subjects within the degree rules.

But psychology, don't you need UMAT?

No? Psychology is a subject I am taking. It doesn't necessarily mean I'm doing B Psychology.

I appreciate the time you have spent to answer my questions SpiralFlex. Thanks.
