I got 50's to 70's for the half yearlies
all

Seriously, don't stress to much over one set of results, because you have more opportunities to improve!
Trust me, I was horrifide when I got my half-yearlies back as well, but realistically we still half half the course to go, plenty of time to pick it all up again. It'll all be sweet

See where you went wrong and work on it!

I have said this before on BOS, don't get into that cycle of negativity every time you do bad! Just work hard and stay positive. I cannot reinforce this enough, a little positivity goes a long way.

There's too much focus on "one exam". Seriously there are so many paths after high school to take to get to where you want. Plus no point chasing courses with the highest ATAR. That's how universities hook people in because they are more "prestigious". The more people can't get, the more people want. i.e. the higher the ATAR cutoff, the more people want to get into the course.

don't people also tend to choose uni courses which will lead them into high paying jobs?

I've definitely lost hope. Did horrible all round in my half yearlies and I realllyyyy don't see myself improving. But I'm determined to make a change.. and hopefully my determination will get me far ><

Partly. But imagine doing 40 hours a week or more in a job that pays well but you hate for 40 years. Not a pleasant experience.

+ there are other paths to university such as through TAFE or colleges.

Pretty much university entry into courses are over-rated given how much easier it is to transfer.

I love photography, its my passion but no way in the world would i consider it a full time job due to shit pay. Although having an interest in your job is an important factor, i believe that your salary is another aspect to your decision to follow a certain career path.

I bless you all...there's always hope!! Good luck

Look at ranks, not marks.

There's always hope. Everyone has all the hope they need, they just need to bring it out.

The career path that one chooses is not solely based on one factor such as interest. It is a confluence of interest, pay, opportunities etc...

While it is important to remain in a career that one is comfortable with, and has great interest; there should always be consideration for future earning capacity.

I thought it was extremely hard to transfer?
