Re: Legal Advice - Legality/Ethics of students giving advice Good way to get sued. Do you have professional insurance ?

UK Law 2006 Haven't heard from the LSE yet, but Oxford have just informed me that I have a place for Law in 2006. As you can imagine, I am happy with that outcome.

Friendly bank manager :-) I expect to be in debt for around 4-6 years after uni.

If anyone needs advice on applying to universities in the UK, I am happy to help. I recently applied for Law in the UK and have been already been offered places at Durham and Nottingham universities. I should get more replies as the weeks progress. Addendum: Have been offered a place at...

Sydney appears to be only marginally better academically than UNSW. However, they do have a far more influential old-boy network than UNSW. This may well help you in your early years as a lawyer. USyd also seems to have more name recognition outside Australia than UNSW. (Only the ANU and...

You make many good points.

Nah ! I am going to be an evil one ! I will help Liberal politicians ! Cant get any more evil than that !

Do you worship Him too ? Let me think.................. Nope! Helping someone would automatically disqualify me for membership in the Satan Worshippers Club.

Learn valuable skills in the Army :-) You need to spend 5 years in the army for that ? LOL ! That is an unskilled manual labourer's job. Anyway, not going to canberra. I managed to scrape into UNSW.

Monetary benefits of Uni Have a look at the recent Ross Gittins in the SMH. Adjusting for opportunity cost and inflation, he calculates that the return on investment of the cost of going to uni is between 14 to 16 % No, they did not save thousands. They lost hundreds of thousands...

The US. The army is for those who are not smart enough for uni and not practical enough to be tradesmen. Eventually you leave with skills that are of no use in the real world. I know an aircraft cargo packer. yeah, his only job is to make sure that cargo loaded onto army aircraft (...

I guess if you enjoy them that is fine. To my way of thinking those are dead end jobs. Most of the people in my extended family are in medicine and law . Of those, half are in academia while the other half are in the commercial world. I guess that everyone has different aspirations.

Most people who defer do not end up going to uni. So be careful and think hard about whether or not you want to risk that and your reasons for defering. Talk to one of the academic advisors at the uni you have been accepted at.

Must be your social crowd. Most of the people I know have been to Uni and are earning between 100 K and 250 K per year.

A common problem. Check the UNSW web site. They have a lot of information.

$28 000 ! LOL ! Waitresses get paid more !

People who can't do anything else do arts degrees.

Looking after smelly feet of old ladies. Conning parents into buying orthoses for kids. Have fun.

Chicks you can eat ?
