    0840 arrive, start working 1320-1330 lunch / fresh air 1815 go home What 'working' entails is role-specific and not at all boring if you like what you're doing. Generally doing something different every day at least, typically working on 2-3 projects at once, typically 50/40/10 technical /...

    University Medal / Award.

    Uni medal is first in course. Beat everyone in your course and you will get it. The two i know of this year were ~90 and >>90, but apparently they're usually around 87-88ish. Other awards are school-specific, ask your school's website. We had prizes ($1000) for first place in the different...

    CSU at wagga wagga???

    Don't know about the uni so can't help there, but I've lived in wagga and armidale. Wagga is the worst town i have ever been to. Great town for cycling though. And violent crime. Two weeks is long enough to exhaust all the possibilities for entertainment. There is karting, wagga beach...

    construction management and property

    Civil eng, just finished. Plenty of uni places, jobs, scholarships + high pay in civil eng. Tried working in construction industry but hated it, hours were 7-6 (+2x1hr drive) and working with morons really gets me down... they don't understand the concept of working smarter, not harder. The...

Read up about the courses in the university handbooks, visit the unis and see which on you like better. Read through the relevant schools' websites...

    What's the job opportunities and prospects for Chemical Engineering?

    http://www.apesma.asn.au/surveys/graduates/2008_graduate_engineer_report.pdf Sample is slightly biased, people with higher salaries and jobs are more likely to respond. This survey is, of course, quite meaningless without comparing to other industries.

    If you're too dumb to read a handbook, you're too dumb for aerospace engineering.

    Becoming What I Want To Be

    oh right, you're serious. Do HSC through tafe (or back at high school), try really really hard for two years, get direct entry to law. That's the least crap option imo. You could spend two or three years doing vaguely law related tafe courses, only to be denied entry to law when they see you...

    what percentage do u need to pass uni?

    This diagram is 100% awesome in explaining the uni grading system. (Bottom axis is UNSW grading, right axis is european and US systems, left axis is percentage of students exceeding X mark. Bottom bound represents 'easy' courses, top bound is 'hard' courses.) This page is also a good read.

    civil engineering/architecture COMBINED

    Civeng top tip: the "specialisations" aren't a big deal, it's just liek four subjects that you pick in your last semester of uni, and you can only pick three from any one area (water/geo/struc/trans/constr) (only 3 subs / 2 in any field if you do honours thesis).

    Official Transcripts results

    New transcript will most likely only show old subjects as exempt or credited to degree or satisfactory etc. Buy a copy of your transcript from old uni before you leave. You might want to... you know... RING THEM and find out?

    studying and stuff

    Motivation is internal, the only way to be motivated is... to be motivated. Decide to be the best and don't chicken out because it's too hard or you're lazy. Good things do NOT come to those who wait.

    studying and stuff

    Check with your school. Honours is generally based on schoolwam (in eng anyway), which applies weights to the years. e.g. fourth year is worth four times first year etc. I worked hard early, then only needed Ps for last three semesters to get hons1. Others have worked not at all and are now...
