    Wondering About Car Insurance?

    I became an accountant :) Worked in big 4 for a while, and then moved to a bank. And, it's a reference to an old feature in BoS where you could click a star to give rep/credit to someone.

    Never fails... every year there's always a new account posting the advertisement for BAcc :)

    BoS meet up

    I'd be up for it to see the old crew (and meet some of the newer members?).

    AMA - I’m a lawyer working in a commercial law firm

    I had a quick read of that and thought it was quite interesting... is there a lot of variable compensation (ie bonuses) at the various levels? The guide says bonuses were excluded from the table but mentions that they're often 12-15%. As for the most important page, it's interesting to see...

    AMA - I’m a lawyer working in a commercial law firm

    Maybe we should do a BoS alumni LinkedIn group! It'll be interesting to see what everyone ended up doing decades later.

    baulko vs nsg

    I didn't even realise they are so blunt in telling you things like this... unless it's a test? *shrug* I went to Baulko and I turned out ok. Granted it was 17 years ago.

    How employable am I in Finance? Entry Level? Graduate Program? Internships?

    Op, you sound all over the place. Not clear if you have any idea what kind of role you actually want since finance/economics are very broad, and it sounds more like you're trying to find something which fits your field of study. If it's not too late already get involved in the finance societies...

    Is legal worth keeping?

    Reading the commentary here and my vague recollection of year 11 legal studies is coming back to me... and I'm inclined to agree, it was far more focused on how we felt about legal ideas/concepts (and an appreciation of the legal system) vs even in my business law studies at uni where we're...

    Is legal worth keeping?

    I only did Business Law (which isn't "real" law) since it's required for post-grad accounting qualifications, but at least in those subjects, we followed the MIRAT format (material facts, issue, rules, application, tentative conclusion). From what I understand, this is quite a common way to...

    Last month of IPTTTTTTTT!!

    Some things never change... even in my time everyone fell into one of those categories for IPT. Dunning kruger.

    Is legal worth keeping?

    I dropped legal at the end of year 11 because it required a disproportionate amount of 'effort' for marks which were below average in my school and unlikely to scale well for my UAI (before it was called ATAR). That being said, if you are planning to study law in university because you enjoy it...

    Is James Ruse/Baulko basically only focused on academics?

    Times have probably changed since I was in Baulko... but can definitely confirm at least back then, it doesn't marry up with what Op posted.

    Extracurriculars for Uni Applications & Scholarships

    This. The whole point of extra curriculars is what you learn from the experiences which can then demonstrate positive traits/abilities or maturity in other areas (which is what the interviewer/assessor is trying to look for). You won't learn anything if you're just doing the bare minimum to...

    PS5 and Xbox Series X are both worth for racing games?

    I ended up playing GT alot on my PS5 and doing the daily challenges/etc. Not sure why but I found it more enjoyable than Forza this time around but I'll wait for the next Forza and maybe my interest in my XSX will be reignited.

    Who wants to be a teacher because of a scholarship and a high ATAR requirement (Over 80)?

    Just because you have a certain ATAR/UAI/etc doesn't mean you need to automatically pick a course which has a high cut off. Teaching is one of those professions where given the monetary reward isn't great, it needs to be something which you are genuinely passionate about. These...
