that was just pointless...
anyway, i applied for a cadetship and they gave me a call (a realli weird one) the guy was acting hard to get right from the start, so i took that as a compliment haha, but then he goes which uni u going to, i said im thinking of unsw ( i was gonna do economics there and major in accounting) and he goes "we can only consider u for an INTERVIEW if u goto macquarie or UWS" - then i asked him if he ffelt there was a difference in education between the unis - he completely stumbled, started stuttering a bit and said unsw and usyd obviousli are more prestigious but uws is fine (in that annoying uws pride voice - thats right u know wat im talking about) and macquarie is good - if not prestigious.
if ur a broad person, then ur gonna get a job from any uni.... southern cross uni gets heaps of graduates going to mad positiosn with large aussie banks and also finance related jobs... goto the banks website and see for urself... there is one southern cross guy in every bank website lol....
but yeh, get a distinction average, do heaps of activities (broad ranged), fix up ur interview technique and u can get a job anywhere...
but the thing is, only say 500 people get jobs in the big 4 accoutning firms.... 3000 apply... i dno, but it seems to me that if 250 are from usyd, 250 are from unsw... ur gonna have to be damn good at mac or uws or uts to get a place...
im too tired to write anything meaningful right now so please excuse me :$ sorry
