Unfortunately university prestige does make a difference in this industry, but you'd also want to take into account that the number of spots vs. number of candidates isn't in your favour in law. You'll need to be not only at the top of your game academically but also very actively involved in...

I know how tuning works, but I'd say that for the most part, modern cars manufactured in past 5 years which conform to pretty strict environmental standards are probably already pretty efficient. Yes you can lean it out a bit but in a non-turbo car, it probably won't make a huge amount of...

As in, non-performance benefits :) Don't get me wrong, I fitted a pod filter to the Civic. Didn't go any faster but sounded heaps better.

Following on from Blue Suede's example of education which is beneficial for future generations (and not to mention a well educated society does have short term benefits such as reduced crime rate, lower unemployment benefits etc), there's the big issue of spend on public goods which doesn't...

$40k trade in to a dealer. Had a mate who was willing to pay more but given the time pressure and I needed to settle it quickly so I could buy the Benz before 30/6, I just went with the dealer offer. Unlike most other cars, Evos have a very small number of buyers in terms of the car yards. As a...

Accounting never hurts so you can understand the source material (and it's limitations) which you're analysing. Also provides good back up options. That being said if you're set on IB or whatever the dream is, maybe do something more unique and interesting- doesn't even have to be a major...

I've always just used my company's VPN when abroad to ensure only my company's filters dictate what I can see. Sorry cant help more. I'm sure there are free alternatives out there though.

Helps to get a really good feel for a Uni and will undoubtedly influence your decision. It's just like a scholarship or an internship- attending the information sessions or open days isn't mandatory but it'll help you understand what you're applying for and committing to.

But aren't you in Uni now? No point getting too caught up in something in the past which you can't really change (easily).

This. It comes down to how you learn best- some are better at learning just by reading and others learn from making notes. I personally wouldn't rely on someone else's notes without writing a substantial amount myself and verifying they were reliable. Keep in mind BoS notes tend to be...

Just remember that Uni requires a lot of walking both on the way to and at campus, and power points (the thing with electricity not the slides which you will rarely get in this format) are not everywhere you'll be. Lightness is key here. I'd go MacBook Air or some kind of ultra book. You...

I'd argue that Macbooks are easier to get parts for and repaired compared to other brands. After having several issues with Macbook Airs in the past year (namely girlfriend spilling water on them) and also seeing my parents manage to corrupt their iMac's hard drive, I've been thoroughly...

i don't mind going O/T in what wasn't a technical thread to begin with. as for ur last comment, i don't think people always plan their mods/car that much but rather, it kinda just happens. i wasn't into modding cars when i got the civic but a year later, i had ordered mugen wing from japan...

For anyone who plans to work in professional accounting and undertake the CA program for example, a lot of the concepts taught in business studies particularly in finance and strategy will come back in deeper and more complex forms later on. Definitely worth paying attention now and seeing if...

I got burnt modifying the Evo with I/E + custom tune with a huge bill in unpredictable maintenance costs. I don't really feel the need to modify the Benz as from the factory it's actually producing decent figures (148kW at the wheel compared to 150kW per the brochure!) and the surge of torque is...

To be honest I don't actually know the answer to this because at least in my experience, pretty much all the big name employers whether they be firms or corporates are offering a graduate role with the plan to get you qualified with either CA or CPA. I'm sure there are plenty of roles out there...

Just like Medicine and Law, there are some people who keep chasing the dream.

Just the Merc. Traded in the Evo when I got the C250.

I've heard various defect stories and so on especially where cops don't understand what turbos are (one pointed at an air cond, etc)......... but I honestly think the attitude you have towards the police will have a huge impact on the outcome. If you are sincere and decent, more likely than not...

If you were only talking CA, then I'd agree pretty much with what you said. I'm not that familiar with the CPA Australia program as I didn't do it. As mentioned though, book keeping is very different to professional accounting. Book keeping is someone giving you an invoice for performing...
