When I looked at the requirements for the program and emailed them regarding this I was hoping I could get some experience in economics/business statistics as opposed to accoutning which probably wouldn't happen anyway.

Its only taught in engineering units at UWA I think which sucks. Its something I'm expected to learn as a post grad so I might aswell learn algorithms and that by myself using C++.

Some people do actuarial/law and I'm guessing alot of people do psychology and law. Chances are if you did something like chemistry/pharmacy and law you could look very attractive to a chemical firm

Hardware is generally the electrical engineering side of things.

UWA is pretty ugly - everything except the science library and the business school really old. Its a nice drive along the River however peak time pubic transport and the city are yucky (in my opinion anyway.) ECU isn't much prettier though I guess. I asked my girlfriend and she said: "She goes...

Currently: Java, C, LaTeX Rest of Uni: R, Mathematica*, Maple*, MiniTab*, MATLAB (F# if I do a computer science major otherwise SQL) Learning by myself: C++ *I know they aren't really languages shoosh Any other ones I should try learn by myself for computational finance/operations research?

Computer science, physics and mathematics are pretty good degrees for 'problem solving.' I think Operations Research would be a good major as students should become quite competent modellers through this. Alot of investing is about finding patterns - having a statistics degree with a strong...

In some Western Australian schools the staff made the EX2 students sit the mathematics exam so the school would get a higher ranking :haha:

I said I have an interest for risk management but that'd be from a mathematical perspective as opposed to an accounting one. I'm dropping commerce next year anyway - I just wanted to get into a bank for general 'work' experience really - beats working at coles all summer or something. Hopefully...

Undergraduate economics is shit do maths.

doing maths

Get the free Online MIT Course Materials and do a unit from that - they use Python though I think.

My girlfriend is doing Biomedicine at ECU (3rd 'worst' uni in Aus.) She's now looking for work experience and struggling even though her grades are quite good (high D average) - if she went to UWA she would have had ties to the WA Institute for Medical Research. Chances are she'll have to do...

+1 Read books, network and for God's sake do a degree you will ENJOY.

I think we should promote smoking in labs like they used to do

Employers: Masters > Double Time: Masters = Double Cost: Masters > Double

Heres the email I got back from CA: [/FONT][/COLOR] I'd rather work on my programming over summer than work somewhere that is probably not going to get me to where I want to go.

Quite happy that I didn't get in actually - I think I wouldn't be able to get any 'valuable' experience out of the program. I'm wondering if it was just because not intending to go into finance/accounting or due to my shit GPA (failed a unit last semester.)
