Is it too much to ask for a job/career in arts, social science etc etc that pays good, has very good job growth and highly satisfying? (1 Viewer)

[seremify007]

Job satisfaction is kind of a meme. Work can be fun, but jobs suck. You can enjoy your work, but having to commute and work at a certain time of the day (9-5) with some dorky boss breathing down your neck makes it not fun. Having to ask permission from HR to take annual leave to go on holidays sucks. Doing good work without getting much extra in terms of pay sucks.

I think it depends on what your job is and the organisation you work for, as well as your own personal circumstances... whilst I haven't had the luxury of a 9-5 job in many years, I don't think I would describe my boss in that way, and I am pretty happy that I can generally pick leave when I need and just let my bosses know my plan.

Coding is extremely tedious and a majority of solutions are driven not by the devs but by the Business.

It is true that a lot of comm/eco grads will not have coding skills but it is also true that these skills can be picked up on the job.

From my experience a lot of devs although are great at delivering the code struggle to understand the objectives and needs behind the strategy for the code.

Success after uni and high school is not always determined from your grades. It is more to do with passion, drive and and your individual attitude.

Are high school teachers really in demand? Apparently its really hard to find a full time job.

Depends what you teach honestly

That’s why I need second options

If you love biology. Maybe you could do a degree in biology (maybe it will open up some careers). Then a masters in education.

They are to a certain extent. Obtaining a full-time job may be difficult, but I don't think this necessarily suggests that there is low demand for high school teachers. Perhaps qualifications and academic background are emphasised, making it more difficult to become a full-time high school teacher. It is worth mentioning that job ads for high school teachers do appear every now and then on platforms such as LinkedIn.

Maths (and to a lesser extent) science teachers are in demand. Not so much for English and history etc

I thought there was super high demand atm, maybe it's only for casuals, but NSW seems to be constantly going through a teacher shortage...

All I know is physics teachers are in demand. Our school can't seem to find any.

 

[ExtremelyBoredUser]

There's a significant shortage in Physics teachers, apparently some schools have their PE teacher at worst case scenario teaching physics for Year 11/12 or normally another science faculty teacher, such as bio or chem, and some don't offer the course. Its pretty sad because Physics I feel is that subject which becomes more transparent and enjoyable with teachers that are genuinely passionate and enthusiastic for the course as opposed to someone who's just teaching it because there's no one else.

I think you should consider Computer Science (super super in demand, and is really relevant in all of science atm as we are analysing more and more data)

There are always nurse positions advertised weekly in almost every location.

WRT high school teaching positions, the ability to teach physics as a science teacher or extension 2 as a maths teacher are highly sought. Everything else is quite competitive.

Yea but I already talked about this with @jazz519 i haven’t done physics in high school and apparently if your not interested in it then it’s not worth doing it for job sake.
For my course I can major in 2 sciences, so I think I’ll have to go with bio and chem since Instead of bio and physics, since I do chem at high school

bio and physics sounds weird. There's only 2 options:
bio and chem
chem and physics.

Oh no I wasn't stating that in reference to your post, it was referring to Usernames post above. I agree, you would do more harm to students if you're teaching physics for the sake of demand/supply rather than enjoying the mathematical and experimental aspect to the course.

Biophysics is actually an interdisciplinary field interestingly, they apply physics to biology. Pretty sure the founders of DNA were biophysicists themselves. I feel like its a wierder combination in high school in terms of HSC courses since Bio seems mainly essaywriting whereas you have to be competent and literate in maths for Physics. It seems like a cool field.

Edit: One was a biologist, the other one was a physicist.

Entry level customer facing jobs in high pressure and high exposure sectors of the finance industry including collections, complaints and (to a lesser extent) sales (especially where there is cold-calling involved). With sales you probably wouldn't do the selling, but fielding or qualifying leads for someone accredited.

Some people in those roles have no degree. Others have masters degrees. There is usually little technical expertise involved but a lot of personal discipline and resilience required. You need to present and articulate well.

RG146 always a nice to have.

What about an accountant? Is it easy to find a job for that

Need an education and accreditation
