*can* is the keyword, and even then you'd have to be the best of the best in that job to earn a 6 digit figure

any uni degree, shows that you are dedicated. Thus lots of retail shops want managers with a uni degree. I was at aldi once, and they were looking for people with uni degrees to recruit as store managers. (and it said any uni degree). anyways if your good with artowkr people will pay good money to hire you. If you can make good videos, effects, pretty pictures for a long time, then good luck and all the best.

Getting a job is always can after doing a university degree. If you don't go looking for a job or try for one you won't get it. Even a cadetship won't secure you a job; if they don't like you, you'll be kicked and then jobless. Of course in saying this a degree more specifically tailored to a career that provides some of the skills needed to work in that field is better than a broad Arts degree. But you get what I'm saying - it's always can get a job, not will get a job.

Except in my scholarship - it's sponsored by industries and you get 3-5 management IT position offers upon graduation

I must admit that I plan on doing a dip. education after my degree....seeing as by itself it doesn't really get me anywhere =P

You've been offered an industry bonded scholarship, that is different than any normal scholarship. You are secured an offer for a job.

Wow thats very wierd, why would you do something you love if it doesnt pay well? I may love cleaning toilets all day but that wont earn me much will it?

Your use of reductio ad absurdum is not necesarilly appreciated. Perhaps some people prefer to spend three years instead of five at uni, and even if you do get a medical degree you won't necesarilly earn heaps of cash if you chase away customers by barking at them.

I don't care if it's not appreciated. You're being given it so deal with it. That and rest assured all those people doing medicine are in it for the money!

You could always go on to academia- a PhD or a Masters program. Of my friends who just finished honours in ancient history, 3 are completing a Diploma of Languages before going on to Masters/PhD (to get up the latin/ancient greek in order to pursue the ancient history).

Yeah dude WTF!? Look at your atar! You should be doing a much better degree

*shrug*
Isn't everyone in everything for the money though? It's what makes the capitalist world go 'round, and even then not everyone's going to get it in any profession.

You're so self-absorbed sometimes that you can't see past the fact that some people are genuinely interested in the field; sure some are in it for the money, but I have a great friend of mine in Medicine simply going it because he's so fascinated by it all - and I'm much the same.

I honestly think that you're jealous of the fact that those in Medicine will make much more than most in the IT field. Do Medicine or Law then if you want the money...

Your ATAR in no way should determine what path you take, that's freaking stupid. Someone could get 99.95 and love working on the farm. Not to say that my 96.20 is comparable to that rank, but I lived on a farm for a large proportion of my younger life and loved working in the fields with my grandparents. If I didn't take such an avid liking to the biosciences and medical field, then I may have taken over my grandparents farm, rather than my cousin doing so.

Most of your posts seem to be aimed at belittling others. Insecurity issues?

I'm not sure if it's a facade for their amusement. Though if it is a reality, it seems a rather odd relationship.
