Well, journalism is a varied field that attracts a vast range of people with varied backgrounds. It is competitive, and you'll have to build up your profile and payment can see low from the first couple of years. However, having a strong skillset in language and communication is transferable to...

Oh, they are from the university. I don't want to be -that person- who shits on academia, but chances are that person has a narrow viewpoint and has had limited experience in current changes in legal environments. You may have grounds to complain. University staff shouldn't be that...

Who told you that because of your appearance, you didn't get a job? I'm quite curious because law firms hire plenty of caucasian males. In terms of 'diverse' workforces, law will be amongst the last to catch up (unless of course, they see a benefit from it). If an employer told you that, just...

OP asks an interesting question. I did my HSC in 2012. And yeah, I got a shitty ATAR in the 50s. During that time, I've had to reexamine: where did I go wrong? How do I take responsibility? Sure, I debate about whether the HSC is fair, but I don't want to come across as a sore loser or...

Well, I'm down to three subjects and although that means its less likely for me to finish in 2019- I feel alot better and more confident in my studies. Like a burden has been lifted off. It's nice having time to pursue things I care about also. I think everyone feels behind / overwhelmed in...

I don't do either Psychology or Law, but I'd recommend UNSW or Macquarie. I can't recommend Usyd cause I don't know anyone who has studied it there. Macquarie you can expect a competitive, by-the-books environment. Macquarie has a reputation in the psychology community that it certainly wants...

You're welcome. The UN is pretty wide and diverse with locations all around the world (in particular, Europe). Looking at many of their job ads, they tend to want at least 2 years of work experience. So you'll have to build up experience, which is a bit scary but you can use that time working to...

Hey! Thanks for answering my questions. Sometimes, I have a tendency to over-idealize instituitions. Usyd is a university at the end of the day, with its own quirks and flaws :) No university is going to solve any issues on my part. Hopefully this semester, I diverse myself a bit with...

I've had minor club involvement with debating, I'm going to Canberra with other Macquarie students and I'm starting my own club for next session (I've had students email me that they are interested). This year I've met some people and befriended them on Facebook. I think I may have been a bit...

Current student at Macquarie, and I'm seriously considering a transfer to University of Sydney. I was planning to do some cross-institutional study at Usyd, but due to reasons I'm not going to bore you with, I missed the deadline. A bit about me -I love reading and history, often finding...

Hey, thanks ilikecats! Much appreciated :smile:

As you are interested in TAFE, perhaps that's a good direction to go into. There courses do have high face-to-face teaching, but its intensity may be lower. Are you doing a full-time load at uni? Because if you ever decide to go to university later on life, you can always start with just fewer...

From memory, ACU's atars range from 58.50 (for B.A) to low 90's. Just try your hardest and work hard in the HSC.

That's understandable. If you are just looking for med preparation, I think the B. Clinical Science or any med science degree would be fine. It's kind of hard to find a 'winning solution' to your problem. You are preparing for the possibility that your only degree will be med science, and...

Thanks for the responses. Maybe I'll see about getting a letter from Macquarie saying that if I take a full time load (without overloading) I will have completed my degree at the end of 2019. Or I could just let the intern hiring department (this internship I'm interested in is overseas) know...

Have you also considered B. Science with a major in Chem, Biology along with say, applied statistics or finance?

A degree like B. Clinical Science may lead to other postgrad opportunities besides Medicine. I know- Pharmacy is a dead end (apparently) and psychology is a tough nut to crack. Perhaps you could go into medical technology or forensice science. It's bleak for health jobs even though baby...

Really late to this thread, I just find it hilarious that people really were surprised that the university with its own private hospital opened a medical school. Like... what did you think they were going to do... And lol @ sydney morning herald implying it's a 'cash grab' move. That's really...

I think 'dry' would describe many individuals experience with law. Sure, you get people passionate about international law, criminology and that's fantastic but it won't necessarily translate into being energetic about torts or contracts. Some of the stuff will conjure your heart, and some will...

A general question to anyone who may know: Am I able to do the 'expect to complete' form early? Like, after Session 1 results are released? It's just I'm applying for an internship around August and they require your completion dates on your transcript.
