where do you go to university/TAFE, and what do you do?

I did Software Engineering, it's opened up lots of opportunities as far as work's gone..
Got to do lots of travelling, got to combine my love of teaching with my geeky tech-head desires too. Just starting into the wanker world of management.. so we'll see how that all goes ;)

I'd highly recommend doing the uni thing, for one thing: the salary (money aint everything.. but looking down the barrel at a salary *generally* between $20K and 40K for the rest of your life does tend to limit your options a bit) and for another: the experience. Uni is fun, gives you a much MUCH different education experience from school and is lots of fun along the way (so long as you don't bust yourself trying for 100% all the time and realise that there's more to life than studying)
 
University of Newcastle, started in Computer Science, changed over to Information Science.
 
I would edit my first post, but i feel it should stay as such
Chem eng at melbourne now :)
despite failing maths last yr
 
I Finished B Communication (information) at UTS last year

Now doing Masters of Law and Legal Practice at UTS
 
Spent 3 or so years "learning(?)"
at The University Of Sydney
B.A., flippin' around from Department
to Faculty, not particularly finishing anything
and racking up an nice lil' debt to The Powers.
Ya know, useful stuff like poetry, literature, linguistics,
philosophy, sociology, psych, religion, history, drinking.

Currently studying at Naturecare,
a private Alternative Medicine College
in St. Leonards, Dip of Energetic Healing -
hands-on healing, holistic counselling,
subtle anatomy, reiki, massage, meditation -
after this I think I'll tackle the Dip
of Shamanic Healing & Soul Care -
the course co-ordinator is the best
teacher & radiatory healer I've ever met.

Then I might even unleash a practice 8o
 
I'm in my fourth year of a five year combined Law and Commerce degree at the University of Western Australia.






:)
 
B commerce - HR & Industrial Relations at western sydney if your thinking of going there.. ITS SHHHHIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTT!.. sorry.. but i do I feel much better now thanks..

Now - BLaw at UTS - the beginning of a new painful cycle of debilitating averageism with a dash of cheap jugs of beer and some ambient Star_beats interference in the background.. THANK GOD YOU'RE THERE GIRL!!

I cant wait to be a slick lawyer wanker!

My girlfriend (BoogieWoman) was doing energetic healing at Nature Care last year. If you want to get something a bit more hardcore on the energetic healing side, try www.harmonics.com.au. Apparently for my girlfriend, it blew everything she was learning at Nature Care out of the water. I'd see it as a perfect supplement to what you're learning now.

Woohoo! I just accepted my offer back into uni and can't wait to be a student again. While some people consider the fact I dropped out of uni a big waste of time, I really have to disagree. I wasn't suited for the business world and there was no way I could see myself making a career for myself in that field. So why continue paying for a course I have no interest in? This time off has helped me refocus and realise how lucky I am to be going to uni. These days I see it as a privilege and not a right. It's a pity I couldn't come to this realisation when I was 18. ;) Yay! Bring on the history nerd.

I'm currently studying Social Science at UWS. I'm in first year doing Psychology, Criminology and Sociology as foundation units. I'll probably carry on with sociology as my major as I'm really really enjoying it. I'll probably continue criminology as a minor, or possibly try to incorporate some subjects from International Relations if they'll let me.

This is my second go at uni. First year out from school I started a sports management degree, but I was so jack of school after year 12 that I pretty much did nothing the whole year. I passed everything, but I just wasn't interested. I deferred for a year and didn't go back.

I've also done a cert IV in small business management and in IT. I worked in tech support for a year and a half before deciding I needed a change. Kind of spur of the moment I applied for uni, decided to put Social Science as my first choice because the subject list sounded interesting. Got in and here I am. Despite my whinging about assignments, and being totally unorganised, I do really enjoy what I'm studying.

The one thing I can't handle is everyone asking what I hope to do at the end of it. I've never been one to have any kind of career path in mind - I've just kinda fallen into everything I've done and have been lucky thus far. I chose this course more for educational purposes than with a particular job in mind at the end.

I was out school for 5 years when I decided that I needed an education and wrote a letter to be accepted into Macquarie uni in Sydney as a mature age student. I am doing a BA and curently studying
- Sociology
- Anthropology
- Political Science
- Philosophy
I love all of the units, although I am pretty tired from working 24 hours a week and studying full time. Next year I am going to transfer into a double degree Law/Psychology. Then I want to do post grad in Criminology. So I should be outta uni by the time im 28 !
Hopefully %)

Err.. in my dreams i will be transferring into such a degree. Last semester I came out ok, and transferred to a Psychology degree. Doing my first unit of psych this semester. I hated sociology - its too theoretical. I have decided that with any spare units I will study politics. I cant write for philosophy. I just like turning up to tutes and talking crap.

=D
 
I've decided to post in this thread again, because I just reenrolled for next year.

I failed Microeconomics last semester (yay) and discontinued Accounting this semester because I was just way too far behind and would rather have a discontinued than another fail. So I have to go and do both of those again sometime :\ This semester I just did Journalism and Management, and they are wonderful subjects. I love them.

I'm putting off my finance subjects for as long as possible.

All things going to plan, I'm going to have a baby at the beginning of next semester, so I'm doing two subjects by Distance Education - Media Law (Journalism) and International Business. Then in semester 2 I'm going to continue to to my degrees by DE and do Radio and Television Journalism, Human Resources Management, microeconomics and Australian Indigenous Literature.

Yay! I'm awfully excited. I was feeling pretty low about uni before this week but after reenrolling and getting a D+ for a 4500 word management assignment, I'm pumped again.

My plan at the moment is to major in Journalism and have my management focus on Behavioural Management and International Business, and later I'm going to write for the Financial Review and then after that I'm going to take over the Financial Review and then I'm going to buy out Fairfax :D
 
I'm doing a Bachelor of Psychology at Murdoch Uni... yeah, I'm looking forward to getting out the year after next and finding out there are NO jobs going. :p

i'm at la trobe uni, studying cinema (major), media, and philosophy - a ba. it's damn fun. honours next semester though, and that's already proving a little daunting :)


ha :)

er, i quit, instead (just after i started honours too). hopefully i'll be at deakin next year (for professional writing), but if that doesn't happen i could really end up anywhere...
 
^^ ha! that is pretty funny, if i ever met you i probably would have told you that i dont know how you do it, too much theory is killing me...!!!!!!

anyway, im at latrobe doing a double major in media and cinema - BA degree. finish at the end of this semester (hopefully!). im fucking excited on the one hand but than on the other its all getting a bit serious now. atm i sort of looking into TAFE courses for film and television production, anyway we'll see how all that goes...
 
(i'm just making it worse for myself though - next year, if i *do* get into deakin, i'll be doing my masters...with constant writing. oh well, baptism of fire, i guess :)).
 
oh well, good luck (and i dont mean that sarcastically either). :)

oh, and if anybody knows of any really good 'film and television' courses in melbourne please feel free to pm me cos i really dont know where to start.
 
I'm currently doing a BA with a "specialisation" (like literally thats what uni calls it) in Communications and Marketing. I have a year left now after taking a year and a half off in the middle of it but I have applied to change courses to a B. Social Science for next year. Fingers crossed I get it cos I really wanna pursue my interest in behavioural science (and move interstate!)

edit: oh yeah...I go ACU National
