Jumping on the Com/Law bandwagon UNSW.

Agreed. Declines of around 3% happens pretty much once every year. Seems to be all media hype to me.

Yeah, i do agree it is a bit low. The recruitment agency Michael Page gives estimates of 70k-120k and I know those are from employee surveys and may be more accurate. Somehow, I don't think these figures include performance bonuses and such, so I can't really say how close to the actual pay...

As in straight out of uni? You don't have to be the best, just very good. There are alot of investment banks out there, that take in alot of people every year. It would be unreasonable to assume they all get the best.

Re: Urgent advice needed plz Just to clarify, that is a non-issue. Legislation passed last year retained the traditional restrictions on pharmacies in terms of location. This means that supermarket chains will not be able to incorporate a pharmacy into their premises without voiding PBS...

What I was referring to was the depth of knowledge of a particular industry that will allow you to start a business, not so much the business mechanisms themselves. That's what I was talking about when I mentioned the subtle connotative differences.

I think you misunderstand me, if my presentation of points was not direct then my apologies. What I referred to as a "bubble" is not simply money concentrated in an overvalued sector or asset class. I'm talking about the whole system of credit dependence that manifests in everything from credit...

Haha, I see you're familiar with Enron and Arthur Anderson. In relation to market manipulation, the problem is that its not just companies that engage in such practices, but theres overwhelming evidence that even governments and central banks do the same. Not that this is such a bad thing, or a...

Oh? Read about Enron and you'll realise that many of the big investment banks don't play by the rules. The financial services sectors is regulated, but whether the firms themselves adhere to these regulations is another issue. In terms of comparison with the IT sector, the investment...

I was told by one of those open day people that it is also possible to take the commerce degree at the end of the third year and continue on with law or complete a year of honours in commerce and then continue law. I could be wrong, the guy was slightly boring and I wasn't paying all that much...

Could someone provide some information about how the government loans work? That is, in terms of interest rate payments and how it is calculated. Thanks
