Is this argument still going on? For god's sake, GROW UP. It's a stupid, pointless argument. Science/arts = apples/oranges. Enough.

My mums patient (high up in a law firm) said the same as phrred.stazi said:
my mum's friend who works in the world's greatest firm says they only hire people from UWS because its been empirically proven to be the world's greatest law uni.sikeveo said:
And of course, rather than using recruitment HR consultants, she does all the recruitment herself. Anyone going to any other unis get thrown away.
And the greatest historians would be able to act beyond their field of specialisation, too.acmilan said:
Your point makes perfect sense, but one could quiet easily read your post as being one that acts to denigrate the arts and humanities. Even though that's not your intention, I just thought that it would be best to respond and to restate (for everyone) that there's nothing to be gained by pulling down one degree/field of study in order to advance another.

Can't tell with your posts. Anything is possible.
good luck in the hsc.
if you believe 'world's greatest firm' and 'world's greatest uni' as well as 'world's greatest firm who instead of employing consultants employees a regular employee to look after hiring' and that 'all other unis are thrown away' is me being serious, then you will need all the luck you can get in the hsc.

lol, stas paying out someone else for being retarded lol
I think you guys/girls with a Distinction average should know what I am about to post. For those wishing to do honours this was how it worked for myself. For the first two years of my economics degree, i had an average GPA of 6.8 odd. Basically, this didn't mean much at all. It all comes down to how I do in the third and final year of my degree. To get first class, I must get >6, second 2a >5.x and so on. It is because they (the unis) weight third year so much higher than the previous two years, it is possible to get credit grade point avgs in the first two years, yet excel in the third year and honours year and come out with a first class honours.
I think though, that making sure you get a D in every subject, would be a good goal (albeit not a hard one). This is so you don't need to worry about weightings, and also to keep your options open with graduate programs such as they offer at the RBA.
On an offtopic note, I have been reading these forums for quite a while, and I love all the threads about which degree/uni is better. Seeing as though the majority of people giving advice aren't out of uni (and thus have no basis to compare different degrees and unis), may I suggest that those asking for it, don't lend a lot of weight to them, but nevertheless to take it on board (There are some on here that DO seem to have some knowledge). For mine, it seems there is a lot of ego on here, and to those people, I say good luck with that.
I do wish you all luck with your studies. I offer one final bit of advice. Whilst it is good to know what you want to be and to keep your eye on the prize, don't get caught up in the "which uni has the best degree for being an investment bankers", because you young ones have a long way to go and it pays to keep focus on the present, not something you can't quite get yet. Also, there is one important thing lacking from this board in terms of advice. I see people saying keep your grades up etc. which is good. But also, join up all the clubs and societies you can at uni, as well as external ones. Join up the CPA passport programs, attend commerce meetings. These networking skills can sometimes get you places where just having good grades will never get you.
OK, that is all, study on peoples.
