I found accounting in uni very boring/tedious compared to finance. I also had much better marks in finance and enjoyed it more (from a studying POV). In practice though I actually enjoyed accounting so I ended up going down that path since whilst academically I wasn't that strong, I enjoyed my...

I'm on a secondment to my firm's New York office. And it's from my own savings and investments over the past 5 and a half years. If I didn't spend so much on cars/mods/racing I would have saved a lot more but alas, I put money into hobbies which don't offer much return :( It was fun though...

I've seen a few E60's around the place but out of my friends, I think the best is a e92 330d convertible or the current E class convertible. Next best would be my mates with 135i's with exemptions.

I did full time uni/full time work for a while but granted I was doing Commerce.

It's really interesting to look at this thread because I remember doing something similar back when I was 19 and fresh out of school, about to start an accounting cadetship and startng to accumulate a HECS debt. Age: 24 Money in bank: 6 figures (saving up for a deposit on a house as currently...

I've seen people carry it with them during the day. It's not that bad.

Agreed. Don't wanna end up with a huge debt at such a young age because it'll take years to repay.

14.585 for a quarter mile. Interesting. I never got round to takin the Evo to the drags- was too worried something would blow in the gearbox lol.

I didn't mind the Honda Jazz 1.3L but I preferred the Mazda2's peppiness. Not sure if you'll find one in the 7.5k budget though.

Let's not forget in the current economic climate, banking salaries include an inherent risk premium in them for the risk of losing your job easily. Meh, I may be in accounting which is the least glamorous of the degrees mentioned here but I <3 stable job and income. I also enjoy the work (usually).

I don't think people who tend to post on BoS (or have time to post on BoS) necessarily have a solid understanding of what it's like to do a 100 hour work week. Let alone multiple. Let alone week on week, month on month, year on year. There's a few guys on here who have done it that I know of...

I think it's just a matter of ensuring your subject selections meet the requirements for the single degree. I don't know enough about either your course or uni to answer unfortunately. If I were you I'd just apply and then when it comes time to make it work, figure it out then. As long as you...

By default it's only for 3 year Commerce degrees, and any other degrees are the exception rather than the rule. Typically you need to negotiate it into your contract (once you've been offered one). ps. Technically speaking you can apply, but they might ask you to drop the LIB and switch to a...

Re: If I wanted to go into UNSW commerce but I didnt make it, which one of these degr Pretty much what everyone above said re: B Economics. That being said, why are you set on UNSW B Commerce? Is it for the uni? Is it because you have friends there? Or just because B Commerce at UNSW sounds...

My mate did it as a first year and I think his team won or something... not too sure on specifics. Just remember everyone talking about it back in 06 when he did it. You're right though, usually it's 2nd/3rd years.

Whilst crude, khorne does summarise it quite well. A lot of "finance" jobs in my view, are very similar to the cliched and stereotyped accounting jobs. There are some genuinely different and interesting finance jobs (i.e. the ones which actually pay well) but they're the ones which are much...

I know a few friends who did it and it was pretty hectic/full on, but ultimately worth it since they ended up scoring internships.

Re: CA Program Standard Commerce/Business degree is 3 years - Year 1, Year 2 and Year3 With a cadetship, one of those years is stretched into two since you are doing half load/part time (whilst working full time). In your case it would be Year 2 which becomes split into two (hence lengthening...

Re: CA Program Before we get in too deep in discussion, keep in mind that there are two different work experience requirements. 1. Service Entry The SERVICE ENTRY requirement used to require you to have worked say six months or so before you could even commence the first module. There are...
