yeah that it so true. smaller businesses will be hesitant to employ ppl with masters or whatever. maybe coz they cant afford it, or they are over qualified...

imo anyway.

Why would someone with a PhD want to work in a mall business anyway? If they were looking to be employed, they would be targeting somewhere that needs their expertise (NASA for example).

So is a Phd and a docterate different. Which is higher? My next door neighbour does lectures at UNSW and she has a docterate and she is classed as a Dr.

So Lexicographer? You can be the smart one if you answer this question.

Why would you do a PhD unless you wanted to become a professor?

i dunno- but i guess ppl. just do it for fun. for eg. the chairman of telstra (the ziggy guy)- he's got a phd in nuclear physics, yet he's a chairman. LoL

Haha
I was talking to a usyd science advisor and I asked him whether it's hard to find a job with a sci degree and he gave me the example of ziggy Sif he got the chairman position because of his phd in nuclear physics

I don't know the differences between them. I just know that there are different classifications.

can anyone tell me what bridging courses are?
and why you sometimes need to transfer to other universities?

also i heard that if you could not achieve the required UAI for a certain course, you could do some other course and then transfer into the course you couldn't get into. how does this work?

thanks to everyone who helped

People transfer to other Universities because they might move or want to attend a more "prestigious" University.
