nope, they start from square one. a bit of knowledge on how to turn it on and simple word processing helps, but really they dont assume anything. varies between course and uni, but typically a bit of calculus, algebra and discrete maths usually. most of it is pretty simple, its rare you'd be...

a friend passed my resume to the powers that be at a computer security consulting company he worked at.

i did a bsc and my salary on graduation was 6 figures :p

how is the whole 180 degrees thing going?

.net getting you $115k is bullshit. the money is overseas unless you're really good, but thats true with most fields, not just IT. the exceptions would be perhaps mining (its big in au, but not really for IT), and in IT perhaps in sales. theres lots of shit jobs in IT, if you have a degree...

either of them will end up crushing your spirit :p

yeah check out leichardt poindexter, its got some awesome stuff. miss_b you should go check out the fish markets in pyrmont. theres heaps of stuff to do in sydney, melbourne is borink :p you should catch a train to circular quay, go for a walk through the botanical gardens and past the...

they dont charge anything, and reccomend the products that get them the highest commission regardless of your financial situation and needs. finding an independant financial advisor is hard, your best bet is to ask people you know/trust. i went to my banks one (westpac) and all she did was...

a special device to detect fools with money to be parted :p nah they're fancy pants jeans

i still liked the old way, easier to read all the threads :( my attention span is so short it actually goes back in time.

well in theory. they told me over the phone if i went into the bank they could issue me a card with a lower limit than what they said (which was higher than i wanted) but when i went to the bank they had n f i about what had been said and wouldnt issue me the card. unless you have two years...

i was a kitchenhand in a cafe for a few years, it was great. the chefs were all cool and all the other staff were uni students as well, pretty good vibe. theres quiet times too, for instance sunday mornings we'd get our first customer about 11 and we opened at 9, so we'd just sit around in the...

my memory gets a bit hazy about the alegebra in 135/136, but from memory there was a bit of vector stuff thats covered in the stewart book. the other stuff im not sure, youd have to mail the lecturers. according to this http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~chrism/math136/ i guess you'd look at the...

yeah numerical computing. if you're good at maths its easy. it should be a math unit, really. there are basically a lot of mathematical proofs that you have to remember. i made the mistake of studying it like a comp unit, when i shouldve studied it like a math unit (remembering proofs and how...

math 135 goes off the chen notes, which are great summaries but pretty bad as a text. you'll have 6 quizzes throughout semester that may be compulsory (ie contribute to your final mark), depending on who is teaching it. if ron anderson is taking it, steer clear, he's a nazi asshole. if you're...

whatever you do, dont do comp238, really hard content, poorly taught. it was the only subject i got a P in in 2nd/3rd year, and my friend who did it with me got his first (and only) F

you could try working as a labourer. if you can find people needed on the weekend you could probably get extra pay. its pretty easy to get work that way. or register with an agency and do temping etc. its hard to say more without knowing your skills/experience.

well my dad could kick your dad's arse! says you. you do a lot of hiring of computing graduates? anyway, you missed my point, you dont know what you're talking about, and i dont have time to argue with you. i get the feeling you're just being argumentative to practise your...

ok then, i have a degree in computer science, and have worked in IT for nearly 6 years, in both australia and overseas. it is not in my nature to brag but i am one of the best people at what i do in australia, if not the southern hemisphere and/or the world. I have spoken at variety of...

yep i got 71.2 for my UAI id rate macuni higher than usyd, but lower than unsw/uts. if you're thinking macuni, look at the entry UAI for a BSc. you can do all the same units as a BCompSci, the maths might be a killer though.
