Are you guys proud/ ashamed of studying at UWS? (1 Viewer)

lol ... if idiots in my fuckin uni make the census dates, they'd sure as hell make it in uws.

UWS grads will probably find it harder getting jobs in the super competitive industrys of finance/law etc. When it comes to marketing it's all about exp., so doing internships/EC's, will put you ahead of a usyd/unsw marketing grad with no exp.

I know personally someone who went to UWS and did marketing, 27yo, earning 300k a year + bonuses. 1 in a million though.

As long as you yourself can push yourself towards success, DISREGARDING what university you go to, then you are guaranteed to succeed.

No you aren't.

I'd rather a lawyer who was good at practicing law. A UWS student who worked hard enough to get a good law job will probably be just as good or even better than some USYD student who get the position cause he went to a 'prestigious' uni.

Agreed 100%

i know a guy who is a complete downer spastic doing law at uws, he got 80, then plus 10 bonus points to get into law. so i don't like the idea of some guy like that prosecuting me for being a normal person just because he is a jealous retard

If he finishes the course successfully then what's the problem?

 

[DTFM]

Troll.

Troll? Do you honestly believe that a person's success is entirely determined by how hard they push themselves? Some people are simply too stupid to succeed in life no matter what they do, and others don't succeed because of circumstances out of their control. Your optimism is cute though.

What uni do you go to?

UWS.

I doubt the job prospects would be any different. I mean it depends on the person themself if they did exceptionally well or not. People shouldn't look at the whole student body in determining the capabilities of the person.

Whether you like it or not employers are just as capable of being biased as any of the trolls in this thread. A UWS degree is simply not worth as much as a degree from USYD or UNSW in many people's eyes.

That's actually true.

 

[DTFM]

Well if someone had the motivation to go in the direction where they want to go, and actually reached that goal, regardless of the university then yes, that would be considered successful wouldn't it?

Yes. But unless they actually do reach that goal there is no guarantee that they will reach that goal.

 

[DTFM]

Your point being..

It isn't a point, you asked which university I went to and I told you.

Very impressive. For that amount of money i take it he/she's very, very good at what he/she does

Amazing.

Smashing his targets apparently.

Got paid a huge bonus last week, he didn't reveal a number, but he has invited everyone he is close with to drink on his tab this saturday at cargo bar in the city.

Agreed, marketing is all about experience. Uni was not really a factor when I went for job interviews, they were more concerned about previous work experience and my skills.
My cousin is a UWS finance graduate with honors and he's actually doing quite well for himself. I think he started earning 60k after finishing his honors, but that was about 5 years ago, dont know what he's on now.

this was originally posted in another thread:

I'm currently doing a Bachelor of Arts but am considering applying for a Bachelor of Arts/Master of Teaching mid-year and I want to know if I would keep my old GPA. The Graduation Policy seems to indicate that I would get a new GPA even if I transfer credit from my old course, but I'd like to hear first hand accounts from people who have done similar.

Buh plz answerrr

Well good on him. Always great to hear about grads doing well for themselves!

 

[myst1fy]

it would depend on the degree ppl are doing, but some degrees @ UWS have such a greater demand, most are pretty low.

 

[myst1fy]

well... to be frank, i'd rather a lawyer who go 95+ atar to defend me for a rape charge than someone who go round 80.

a lawyer with a honours + HD rather than someone with a high ATAR, ATAR doesn't mean shit.
