Just out of interest, what are you studing and where? Or alternatively, where are you planning to study or where is your alma mater?

I'll kick it off,

Business degree with Marketing and Sport Business Mgmt double major at Massey University in Palmerston North.

Considering a semester in Australia where I can go to Deakin University by paying my fees to Massey.

Arts at University of Melbourne will probably be my top preference next year. Ill probably defer whatever I get. Have a go at some other things. I have no certainty in my life at the moment so its hard to plan for anything.

Just study what you enjoy and not what you think will get you a job otherwise you will end up dropping out in the first year. Talk to as many people as possible about different courses and know whats involved with them.

+1. Keep your mind open. Even if it's murky now the picture will become far clearer at the end of first year when you can easily cross-credit everything.

My first preference for next year is a Bach Arts with a major in Secondary Teaching at Uni of Western Sydney.

My other preferences were just a bunch of media courses.

Bizarre, Funky - I have about four friends who teach at one of those up here.

I'm doing a Bachelor of Nursing at QUT, majoring in Intensive Care nursing - then following on with a Graduate Bachelor of Midwifery.

I could never teach at a school. Young kids smell and are grotty. Highschoolers have no respect + It would be hard to avoid 'desiring' the girls.

High schoolers only have no respect if you treat them like children. Treat them like adults and don't look down on them and they are fine:lol:

As long as theres kids like my enrolled in the system I dont want to be a part of it.
You cant treat a slutty year 9 girl with her 10 boyfriends like an adult.

Small world we live in! What's her name i might know her :o

I'm doing primary Ed but i'm never ever going to work in a Primary school. Can't stand little kids, and when it comes to the teaching staff, you are surrounded by only a few people your age whilst the vast majority are 50-60 year old women, very difficult to enjoy yourself there when it comes to socializing with other primary teachers if you're a young male...unless you like talking about knitting and wine

No idea what I want to do. Tossing up between BA (Media & Communications) @ Usyd, Arts/Law @ Usyd, Arts/Commerce @ Usyd, Journalism/Law @ UTS.

I actually don't know if I want to do journalism, law, marketing... Tbh I'd just love to be a football journalist but that's probably not going to happen.

I'm studying at University of Wollongong, in my first year of a Bachelor of Journalism, possibly becoming a double with B. International Studies later on.

If you want a tip: take a B. Journalism ahead of BA (M&Comm).
Journalism courses are about teaching you how to write, as opposed to teaching you all this theory waffle. At UOW, you can take most BCM classes as Philosophy classes (BCM106=PHIL106, etc) because they're all "media philosophy" etc. Jour is more dedicated to getting out there and writing real stories about your town, as opposed to looking at how other stories are constructed.

On the flipside, marketing is really interesting. Some of the stuff they get to watch... =d>
