good to know someone in the same brethren.

Do you work at Trinity Beach?

Yeah, I got CELTA in 2008 and used it in Australia for 18 months before heading over to Germany in order to learn a new language and enjoy everything on offer. Living here has given me that language so I might end up using it professionally one day. CELTA alone in Australia is only accepted at a few language institutions so it's tough in OZ without a degree. Many English expats over here give English training. Some are really good and others are terrible at it. I like to see myself in the middle and setting goals in my training normally sees improvement in my sessions.

Nope... This is what YOU tell everyone... Jealous. As. F*ck.

False. Ask any of my friends. I work very hard o:)

Can confirm Bowdens hardness

Have aspiriations to be a human supercomputer (work out 158 x 28 in sub. 10 seconds) so I can work as a trader in the finance or gaming (preferable fraud depart.) industry.

Good to hear that some university students really enjoy their part time jobs. I took my jobs during high-school and early years of university too seriously with a goal-driven approach. In my first job, I worked in a call centre for Pizza hut during Yr 11. Since then, I've been working as a mathematics tutor (over the net and in person.)

Currently compelting my Honours year in the field of sports statistics. Specifically on the 'effect of qautomatic qualification of emerging football nations on tournament value.' Although, it may sound interesting, the Honours year is a tough grind and If I could turn back time I would certainly graduate with just a combined undergraduate degree. I'll be finishing mid-year next year after channging my thesis topic from option pricing to sports statistics. Whilst I've questioned this decision after recently applying for a graduate role over in Hong Kong and being knocked back because I was graduating next yr. But after thinking about it, I have no regrets changing/'extending' my topic. It has really clarified what I want to do with my degrees and forced me to apply for graduate roles in both fields industries of gaming and finance.

I'm planning to get my CELTA either next year or the one after. Is it difficult to obtain?

Studying to be a teacher. Currently working as a transcribe and cold calling at night.

It's a pretty decent life I lead. :cool:

Hard to imagine you as a teacher :lol:

+1. I would have envisaged TSF as a hate preacher.:lol:

Handing out freebies to your mates is hard work ;)

I think you'll have few issues as you're studying to be a teacher. My course had quite a few experienced teachers from numerous subjects. They found the style different to what they're used to. It focuses on a certain style of teaching but it's not the only one in the world of English language teaching.

Teachers are a lot like people. Some of us are just jerks.

I educate you lot every day. It's amazing how ignorant you people choose to be.

Anyone here studied chemical engineering and/or pharmaceutical science?

Currently in 3rd year, it's interesting enough.

Can you provide some examples? I'm very interested to hear.

You got me man.

I literally have no idea what's happening.

I suggest looking at a youtube channel called Elttraining. Before Celta, you receive a preparation pack so you can have some background knowledge before starting. You'll hear a lot about PPP, MPF and others in language teaching methodology.

Its not about being ignorant its about learning what NOT to learn from hapless fools. :lol:

I'm surprised you even knew how to spell those words.

I've heard that it's the most challenging of the mainstream engineering streams - is this true? Also do you know what the job prospects are like when you get out?
