I'm within a stones throw of finishing my Mechanical Engineering degree @ Newcastle Uni. Have done it basically part time so this year is my 6th year. Will be fully finished by the end of next year, but won't have any classes after next semester.

I reckon you wont be short of work. Theres big demand in your field isn't there?


Currently there's SFA demand.

But I've had a job in the field for 5 years now and am very comfortable.

Degree is called Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, essentially just process/chemical engineering.

The job market is pretty awful for us at the moment too

All the best with it though mate!

Is there a lot to learn and remember in that course?

I'm sorry I'll show myself out.

Side note, my grandma died of Alzheimer's 2 years ago so I know how fucked up it is. But sometimes you just had to laugh at the things she said or did.

This is so key to coping with it. My grandmother has pretty insane dementia, and all you can do is laugh sometimes. It's terribly sad to see, particularly for my old man, but I alway just remember that the old her would have laughed at the new her.

It's definitely harder for the family then it is for the sufferer, they don't even know they have it.

Well Alzheimer's didn't actually kill my grandpa it was skin cancer, so when she died she still recognized our faces but not our names or relation to her and could speak fairly well. So I'm sort of glad that she didn't have to suffer through the later stages of it.

One of the crazier stories about her is that one morning at like 5 am mum got a call from the hospital saying that the police had picked my grandma up from the side of the road at the port of Brisbane. She had decided in the middle of the night to put her night gown and slippers on and go look at the ocean, (which is about 5 mins from her house by car) but she went the wrong way was was picked up I'm guessing 3 hrs walk away at the port :lol:

So it became pretty urgent to find a bed for her in a home at that point

How did you guys end up choosing which science you want to do at uni? I have my heart set on doing Bachelor of Science but I don't know what to major in when I love physics, biology and chemistry equally.
