I think your getting the terms key program confused with majors, at UWS your key program is your main area of study within your degree, other universities would call this a major. A key program is compulsory you will have to choose one by the end of your first year( its an actual requirement to...

I'm replying mainly in response to the supposedly bad rep UWS has. To be quite honest what uni do you go to and why is a pretty standard question for all graduate interviewers to ask. Whether or not they are implying that UWS has a bad reputation is irrelevant, it’s more important how you...

The discount doesn't work the way you described, the 20% discount only applies to amounts you have paid, not the entire HECS debt. IE if you contribute $500, that $500 would reduce your HECS debt by $625 (500/.8)

Pretty sure the bonus points only come into play with UAI/ATAR's >60, atleast this was the case when i was doing the HSC.

I've met a few people through the networking opportunities that the ABL program provides, definitely helped when applying for vacationer work with Big4 accounting firms. Mainly due to the fact I had exposure to employees and partners of some firms well before the actual assessment process...

Something else to consider, have you considered a key program or a potential career path (accounting etc)? An earlier poster mentioned that you would receive industry experience with the ABL program/scholarship. You should look into this before deciding since it may or may not be industry...

You need to narrow down the potential career paths your interested in, you’ve described a wide range of potential careers. I’m not familiar with ANU course structure but it’s quite possible you could enrol in either comm/eco or comm/arts and transfer later on if you have a change of heart. Ie do...

Yes, you could get into alot of trouble for discussing it on here, AAFC did take a pretty serious approach in terms of their exposure on the internet, atleast it did when i was still involved. After reading your initial post again, its very unclear about what actually happened, most likely the...

Investing in shares is pretty interesting, although I'm a uni student therefore only working part time atm I try have a reasonable amount invested in shares. I’m studying finance so I find it complements quite well with material I’ve learnt in the past and currently learning. I don’t do anything...

We have closing times for a reason, I’m not opening up the shop after locking up and counting all the cash just so you can buy a little bottle of booze that’s worth less then $5. Complaining about this and watching me while I lock the last door is just retarded and slightly creepy....

I’m assuming you're a CUO/WOFF at the very least a FSGT(or the respective service equivalent), to be perfectly honest this is the last place you should be discussing events such as this. Even if your staff are doing jack shit about this you should have the initiative/authority to get this moving...

Right, you're basing your entire argument on HSC economics, explains your short sightedness and your arrogance. " it is economically impossible for unemployment to rise if the minimum wage was abolished " statements such as this clearly show your inability to move from basic concepts and...

Did you even read my entire post? When you've passed 2nd yr economics let me know... if you don’t understand how unemployment can rise when the minimum wage is reduced you should google the wage setting relation, which implies a NEGATIVE relationship between real wages and the unemployment...

You’re assuming that every individual acts as a collective, what society do you know of where every individual freely exchanges information and acts as one single unit? Yes, individuals would understand their own situation better then a government would, that’s why I’ve stated in the absence...

Agreed, to an extent there is a lack of information for the government to set the appropriate minimum wage. But the government is still far more effective at setting the minimum wage then every individual acting on their own knowledge to set their own minimum wage. It’s not stupid having a...

Yes, firms can employ more workers if they reduced the minimum wage, but why should firms employ more staff when demand could have been met with the original level of workers? It’s completely irrational for firms to employ more workers even if the minimum wage was reduced, firms should behave...

I disagree, lowering the minimum wage isn’t appropriate when unemployment rises, while it does make sense to lower the wage in order for employers in order to retain staff (Im making the assumption that firms cant retain staff due to reduced demand), there’s a bigger picture to consider. By...

You would need to do a bridging course if you havent done mathematics, without the bridging course you wouldnt be able to keep up with the workload because they assume you know most of the content from 2 unit mathematics. They will make you enroll in a bridging course, "Maths toolbox" if you...

Flip a coin, heads, yes its good, tails, no its bad... seriously no one can really give any advice with the little information you have provided.

The Stallion, What sqn are u at/were at? im goanna guess 323 if ur in the blue mountains? I was a CCPL there, up until end of 2007...
