Re: Semester 2 Timetable ^ Just wondering, when is class registration? Or is it diff. for everyone?

Depends on your intentions. If you're doing it for the money (like the majority of accounting students), you're likely to be disappointed. There are better options degree-wise for money. Finance has a lot more statistical analysis and is math based. You should be pretty good at it if you did...

Hey new students, just here to clear up some of your minds, false assumptions and spare you the shock when you get to graduate. - Accounting isn't as in demand as everyone makes it out to be. Sure, senior accountants are demanded (but that's if you have the 10+ years of experience + CPA/CA...

^ Keep in mind, you have to work a certain number of hours per week (varies on whether you're casual, PT or FT), to get taxed. If you're working standard hours per week and still not getting taxed, then there may be something dodgy going on with your employer! Nevertheless, you'll still need to...

Are you sure you didn't get taxed? Ideally, if you didn't provide your TFN, your employer should have taxed you at the maximum tax rate of 46.5% plus medicare levy 1.5%. Unless it was cash in hand. You should notify your employer ASAP

experience > fits job description > grades > looks > job 2 years after graduation, the Grades factor is taken out completely because it will then be irrelevant to continuous improvement.

Stupid question, stupid answers. If you want underserving good marks, go do your degree in the desert. No competition there. Employers look for skill. If you get plenitful HDs from UTS but know jackshit compared to someone experienced from MAQ who got *mere* C-D's, the employer will choose...

two bits of A4 paper, and one pen = lightweight. If i need a textbook, i'll peer over the shoulder of the person next to me ;)

$40 a lesson? What qualifications does your teacher have? That's a fairly big rip off. I'm a violin tutor, but not making a business off it since I'm still at uni. I believe a bit part of learning the violin is self-motivation and a teacher who can teach at your own pace; not rush you through...

^ Agreed. Repeating year 12 is a complete waste of time and effort. You will end up being 1 year behind, and there is still no guarentee you will get your desired UAI. Learn from your mistakes and move forward, not backward!

If you're entering a 4 year UWS course, the maximum advanced standing you can get is 240 credit points. That's equivalent to 24 subjects "maximum". Under normal circumstances 160 credit points (or 16 subjects) are awarded. see: UWS Policy DDS - Advanced Standing and Recognition of Prior...

The only risk is the interest is not fixed and will most likely decline rapidly towards the next few months. What's best for your money depends on how much you have saved up so far. Simply put, if you have less than $10,000 it won't be worth the trouble moving your money to a higher paying...

you couldn't have found worse economic times to be looking for a job. Employers also want to keep their employees for more permanent roles, so 8 weeks of FT is no use to them. Your best chance would be to ask a family friend, relatives or their contacts to give you work experience.

im not looking for advice per se; just seeing if it's common. I'm suspecting its some symptom to exam stress, lack of sleep and anxiety. And I predict my doctor will just offer me antibiodics to get me out of his office.

Recently, I've found myself having a lot of trouble remembering what I did yesterday or even the day before. When I look into my weekly calendar and see what I did, it seems like what I did yesterday was a week ago. Which is starting to scare me, because I never used to have this problem. I have...
