I'd say for Commerce, I put in minimal effort for first half but then put in quite a bit towards the end finishing up with a 74 WAM. Yes it annoys me I could've tried just a little bit harder to get a D average but it's not the be-all/end-all.

You'll need to go through hell to maintain an HD WAM. I know a few people who did and damn that was hard. No joking around or surfing net at all during lectures/tutes and always doing prep. Not easy unless you don't have other commitments.

I saw this a few days ago and thought "no way"... but who knows, maybe others here feel the same way as me. I always thought driving in NFS/etc whilst not realistic helped improve my reaction times over the years and Forza/GT helped me learn better lines and shift points! More info, and...

Thought I'd share this Youtube video: Bit pricey at $55aud ish (tried looking at various sites to see where I could get one for a mate with a Prius)... but still pretty funny.

Saw this article on SMH and whilst I don't necessarily agree with the choice of cars, it does provide a good starting point for people in the market, who don't really care much about performance and are more interested in reliability and everyday driving, etc... URL...

evo :)

A black Monaro revved it, gunned it, did nothing at the lights today on Victoria Rd... but then he fishtailed like crazy. Props for trying. I happily overtook :) Subsequently as we passed an intersection he tried to gun it again but instead slid over his lane divider and into my lane and then...

Never heard that one before... more than 10 years ago? even my sister who got her CA in the early 2000's didn't have such a system of logkeeping. It's simply a matter of saying when you started employment in a relevant role/field and getting confirmation from your employer.

I was a trainee/cadet so I automatically passed the requirements, but in my year after graduating (i.e. 2010) they relaxed the work experience requirements... that being said, some firms (mine included) decided to impose rules later on that you could only commence the CA program after a set...

The CA designation is a post-graduate qualification for people who have completed their tertiary studies. That is, you can structure your degree so you do the right subjects to be eligible for the CA program, but the uni subjects are nothing more than educational requirements to ensure you can...

Agreed with the above but you can't deny that in a lot of grad jobs in industry, the majority seem to come from a minority of universities.

suggest you create a new thread and put up some requirements/intended use (e.g. school, uni, carrying friends, shopping, sitting in traffic, sporty, etc)

Wait so are these all clubs which don't exist yet? I'm confused but just wondering if anyone here has any experience with ARC clubs. One of the groups which I'm an active member of (AUSCA) went through quite a lot of hassle to get everything clear with ARC so just keep in mind it's no easy process.

Good job. I suppose if you want to get into a job as a trader you need to prove that you have the skills/capability. As in, it doesn't have to be a Commerce degree but you need to show that you have potential as a trader. Or you could go into equities research? Again not strictly a Commerce...

Anything which shows something which is valuable in the workplace whether it's people skills, organisation skills, initiative time management, relationship building, learning, coaching/mentoring/teaching, etc... e.g. Red Shield Appeal is something which taught me people skills (initiating...

Hmm... assuming you are on green P's, those <10km/h over speeding offences shouldn't do much more than take a very small amount of demerit points off you (well, technically it gives you demerit points). To get a suspension as a result must've arisen because you exhausted your demerit...

Btw for what it's worth, in a lot of firms if you did a double degree you get a slightly higher starting salary just for that. That being said, from what I've heard it varies between $500 and $2000 which in the scheme of things, is not much at all (nor does it justify the cost of doing that...

I'd say it offers a slight edge as any double degree would, but realistically for Commerce jobs, nothing in uni really makes much difference since most things are taught either on the job or through self-study (i.e. beyond the depth which Finance would ever get to). The only real advantage of...

Simple test is whether you have an opinion and whether you're allowed to say it to clients on the (recorded) phone.
