You don't go to uni to learn how to do business cards, you take a one day TAFE course for that. Same with web design go do a Cert 4 it'll take one year instead of 3 and you'll have more practical knowledge. Whatever you do make sure you know where the uni is located, otherwise you might end...

A new browser window is just to destroy any iframe or frame that might be communicating with a remote server without your knowledge. It doesn't do much good if you are compromised through a browser hijack, have a toolbar on there, a trojan on PC, run through a bad DNS or proxy etc etc. The...

Driving from Brisbane to Perth, I don't even remember how many stops we had, 3 I think, a few more if you take into account stops for petrol. Europe is a looong way away, i'll be doing it again in September, pure hell in economy. 1-3 hour transfers are ok because it takes that long to run...

Your choise, I have 2 accounts, both high interest, both give me atm access and have no monthly or netbank fees, one I use for share trading as well, if you don't do share trading you only need to remember one :)

As long as you have deposits over $5,000 there. Might as well get a decent account with ATM access instead and dump the Commonwealth. You'll need to keep a transaction account with them as well which results in fees somewhere down the line :D

Depends on your degree, depends on your job. University isn't just about learning your subject matter, you should also be able to pick up a large chunk of negotiation skills and create social networks. Those you will probably use more than the subject matter. If you went to uni to learn...

Non-teaching weeks are for the students taking externally set exams and for the teachers to get their marking and marks entry finalised for the end of the semester. While your course might run all year most modules do not and teachers need to finalise these so you can get a statement of results...

Good luck getting back into a study habit when you come back.

You're more likely to have your account details stolen from: - having a trojan on your computer - the bank database getting hacked - falling for a phishing scam than from someone doing a proper man in the middle attack. I'd hazard a guess and say most people who lose their bank details...

He should be happy if he gets any acknowledgement at all. Did he have the idea for the study? did he get the funding for it? did he devise and manage the testing? did he write up conclusions? does he have more letters after his name than the professor? If any answers are no then that's the...

Duh?? You don't seem to realise it's St George that will be charging you as their name will appear on the bill, the other bank doesn't send you a bill when you use their atm. I get 5 free withdrawals from ANY bank ATM a month with my account. Why don't you read your reply again and stop...

Nice pick up. I have stopped reading the TOS for other people, threads like this happen every month and really it's their own personal finances. If their own money is not worth enough time to go read some fine print for then there's no saving them because they will just get suckered one way or...

I'm guessing management is a "Shift manager" or whatever they call it at MacDonalds? In that case I wouldn't worry about it too much you will get better management offers later. Next up the uni, you are probably still in study mode, if so, STICK WITH IT! If you take a year off you might find...

You won't be a student all your life so you might as well spend some time and find a proper account with the options you want. The new fees suck but I wasn't expecting any less of them. banking is the type of industry where you announce billion dollar profits and 5 minutes later under the...

Ring the campus and ask to speak to the Head Teacher or course co-ordinator if you don't think you can make the closing date. If they have spots left they might give you more time. TAFE isn't suitable for everyone and everyone has different expectations of a course and campus just like...

That's why you get a room on the top floor and you can then go walk around in shorts all winter.

low income offset gets you back a little.

Why? Don't take other peoples word for it, do you enjoy it? If you do then good, otherwise it might not be worth the struggle. You might decide to do it at TAFE for a little while to get a hang for the basics and then go into a degree, or maybe you will find if you get into uni that it isn't for...

Wouldn't surprise me, friend with a score of 40 something got into their engineering program. Like I keep telling people there are lots of ways, you just have to have the courage to try them. He quit after 6 months though :)

Yes you would get approximately $1777 back maybe more if you qualify for deductions, stopped full time study for the first time and applied the low income tax threshold. Less if you had external income you didn't pay on yet plus once you take the medicare levy into account. You wouldn't have to...
