Copper cookware is incredible. I've used it at a couple of restaurants over my career and it is unreal. Amazing heat dispertion, a really great weight:size:strength ratio and it looks great. Buy it if you can afford it, you only really need 3-4 different size pans for home use. But, It's...

Actually it is. The quality of beef they use is of particularly low quality, using the offcuts from tough cuts such as shanks, shins, plates, flanks and necks. Those cuts are used in a restaurant or cafe to make stock and thrown in the bin. They don't even serve that to homeless people, as...

Nice to see we stayed on the original topic.... :rolleyes:

Nicely argued. That's the way it should be. I don't agree with some of it, but it is well thought out and well argued. I don't agree with the point about vocational education. I don't think it should be forced, but I do think it should be part of the curriculum. They don't have to leave fully...

So are you the same guy (adinfinium/comingupforair/whatever other name you are using? Because that's almost exactly what they said... I'm not forcing views. People can take it or leave it. That's why it's a "forum".

Yep. Might even be one on line. I was having a look at last years one a few weeks ago just to get an idea.

You can search by course code (the six digit number) at the bookshop website otherwise it will be in the unit outline.

Just go to the student centre on campus, take some photo ID and something with your student number on it. Should only take 5 minutes. If you want the transport discount you have to fill out a form. You can get one online or at the student centre.

Maybe I should have read your signature before posting... lol!

Wrong... All of it. First point. Prestige doesn't matter. No employer cares about a name. They care about attitude, skills and initiative. Second and third tier universities? So are you basing this on prestige? Same point again. No employer cares about a name. They care about initiative...

I think it should be optional, but encouraged. I'd nearly make it compulsory for years 9 and 10, and for those students who have no plans for university study after years 11 & 12 compulsory to give them options, especially as the job market is so competitive. I think it should be compulsory for...

lol. So it's Cone head and Oompaloompa Frog man so far! lol! When did you get yours? Can you log in to the library?

Thanks!

I've already got mine. They squashed my head (usual story with Student ids) and I look like a cross between an oompaloompa and the Crazy Frog. My library login doesn't work just yet. Giving it until Tuesday.

I don't think that's right. I think it will become more and more necessary. I've actually found that, being a tradie myself as mentioned earlier. Trades are excellent to have under your belt, and I wholeheartedly recommend for anyone to do in the future. Personally, I would like trades to be...

Exactly. It would seem that university is a rite of passage rather than a well thought out, educated decision for a lot of people. Whether it's pressure from parents or peers I don't know. But a lot of people seem to go to uni without any real direction, based on what mummy and daddy earn or...

Thanks!

Yes and no. Here's why I think that anyway. Firstly, as you said, university students are a dime a dozen. It is the generally accepted progression from high school these days. Years ago, most people would be doing trades and a very select few would go to university. I think now there is an...

That's one thing that the UK has over the US. The amount of history on the continent and how amazing it is. I'd prefer to go to one of the UK universities for that very reason. Imagine on your vacations, going to Italy, France or whatever to see sights such as the Colosseum, Arc de Triomphe or...

Potentially, although it's usually only getting that first job where it really matters. Once you've got that first job though your laughing. After that, it's pretty much how well you performed in your first job and what kind of reference you can get. If your worried, maybe look at doing work...
