I honestly have no idea!! Maybe a high school teacher as it seems pretty easy and not TOO stressing... I'd hope to get into B Arts/B Education @ UNSW

Hopefully a software engineering degree at UTS. If I can't get in then probably any course so I can hopefully transfer over.

I've always wanted to be a Vet, which would be my ideal career path but I have also considered a career in Medicine and Forensic fields.

Re: Career Choices: What do you want to do in uni/tafe/the workforce?

I want to study vet science , animal science. Maybe communication, but a journalist have a very bad image to me from my experience. Maybe social work as it's a good choice . Anyway, you don't always end up what you want to be when you were a child. I wanted to be a pilot when I was young, but now due to some reasons I gave up this dream . When I was in year 7, I wanted to be an athlete because I was so into sports at that time. I gave up this dream now because I don't think I will be able to achieve it.

I want to be a PDHPE teacher. I want to go to Sydney University. Course - Bachelor of Education (Secondary - Human Movement and Health Education).
I really want to do something to do with sport, maybe sports administration or sports journalism, but PDHPE teaching is number one. It's good too, coz the UAI isn't that high, only 80.00 for 2007, but I'm aiming for 90 anyway.

Re: Career Choices: What do you want to do in uni/tafe/the workforce?

I'd love to follow in my Dads footsteps - orthopedics, but I know that isn't entirely realistic as it's so competitive... Plus I think being on call would strain me; I'm not completley there for a little while after I wake up so having to treat a trauma after being woken up at 3am wouldn't be the best thing for me.

Realistically, I'm looking at a low - mid 90's UAI, I think I'll get into commerce or something to do with finance.

Medicine all the way! Only (yes only) need a 93 UAI at western sydney and then they don't even look at your UAI after. Can't wait to get in. Or maybe a biochemist, that would be pretty interesting or psychologist. Endless oppurtunities.

Hey - I said it'd be nice. I'm not living a dream like oh so many people who aspire to be doctors/surgeons/neurologists.

Although, I think that'd be a really good doco. 10 people from year 10 onwards who want to do medicine, checking back in with them every year for 5 years.

UNSW > UoS > other NSW unis.

Au contraire.
Besides, über-smart people do aerospace engineering, I hear.

Haha, I'm just saying a lot of people aspire to careers involving medicine and not many get there.

I know i'm not going to get a 99.95 UAI and have UNSW falling over themselves to get me into their course :p.

INCORRECT.

UNSW is for FOBs who value their bloody education over pretty buildings and an awesome atmosphere. Questionable at best.

UoS > every other uni in the country.



'Cept my first preference is still UTS :eek:

Re: Career Choices: What do you want to do in uni/TAFE/the workforce?

I'm actually looking to do one of three courses:

a) Medicine/Arts(English) at UNSW
b) Medicine/Arts or medical science/science at USYD (that's if I get a 99.95UAI...)
c) Medicine/Law at Monash. I just found out about this recently, and I think that it's a really good deal to get a medical and law degree within seven years.

I can't really see myself doing anything else in uni. Perhaps teaching. I really like teaching my cousins! :) Of course, these courses require close to perfect UAIs so all I can do is work hard and hope for the best. :)

No. UNSW > SYD.

And don't you forget it :)
