But like surely when they see your resume they take it into account.Uni doesn't mean sh*t its how you present in the interview.

Thanks heaps dude. Got some tough decisions to make and I appreciate your help.If you have the qualification you have the qualification. Kids in school are indoctrinated into thinking university is everything and if you fu** up year 12 your life is f’ed, doesn't work that way at all.
I hear they can be pretty brutal on people who can't figure out gif avatars.But like surely when they see your resume they take it into account.
Apparently having McDonald's on your resume when going for graduate/entry level jobs is really goodBut like surely when they see your resume they take it into account.
Yep, it's bullshit how much year 12 is jammed down your throatIf you have the qualification you have the qualification. Kids in school are indoctrinated into thinking university is everything and if you fu** up year 12 your life is f’ed, doesn't work that way at all.
That s**t was a nightmare, no joke spent at least 45 minutes trying. Why are the buttons on these goddamn devices so small?I hear they can be pretty brutal on people who can't figure out gif avatars.
thank you ♥You seem like a smart, mature, likable kid frosty. I have a strong feeling things are going to work out just fine for you.
Yep. Got my break from doing an internship in my masters. Now I’m in a related but different field and my quals actually don’t matter at allYeah seconding what everyone says above: the uni you go to doesn't mean sh*t when going for a job. Provided your grades are solid they're not too fussed where they come from. The reputation stuff is marketing guff from the Go8. Work experience, relevant extra curriculars are all great and can make up for (to an extent) meh grades, or at least did for me.
Hey Frosty, I'm going to go against the grain of things here a bit. I'm in research, which means you're in for close to ten years of uni to even get a look in for any job in the sciences. So for my career, the advice here isn't quite right (but also not 100% wrong)Hey dudes/dudettes. Been asking around for some help with future pathways n stuff.
How much more likely are employers to employ those who went to Melbourne/monash compared to La Trobe/Deakin/RMIT/Swinburne. Is it a sort of deal where a decent student at Monash = A grade student at La Trobe or something like that.
Asking because i'm flunking Maths Methods hard in school and if i drop it then that shuts down a lot of business/commerce degrees at Melbourne/Monash but not at the others and i'm trying to keep my options super wide open. Thanks.
Depends a lot on the field you ultimately want to work in.Hey dudes/dudettes. Been asking around for some help with future pathways n stuff.

This is good balance and I'd like to add to it.Hey Frosty, I'm going to go against the grain of things here a bit.

I agree with the overall sentiment, especially that year 12 is over rated (probably by schools as it's affects their ratings). However, it's easy to knock it once you're in a job you like, and you can see all the other ways to get there. As a year 12, it's not so obvious when you've been told marks are the only or best way.
My advice is that you really need to crystallize what it is you want to do. If you have great marks, you can be indecisive for longer, as more doors remain open. If your marks aren't great, you need to know where you want to be, then take the alternative roads there.
If its commerce/finance you want to do, I doubt it matters where - keep in mind those degrees are often massively represented by international students. When I look at cvs for entry level jobs, I look less at people's marks at uni, and more at the work experience and opportunities they've chased down during their breaks. It tends to show they are serious and come in with somewhat of a clue. DM me if you've got any questions.
TLR - There is a way to do whatever you want to do, but you need to be certain on what that is.
Or as the Ancient Greeks put it:
No wind is favourable if you don't know to what port you sail
I don't see what the issue is really, it's twice a year in games that Collingwood aren't playingDo you think PA should be wearing the , "Prison Strip" watched Footy classified. PA should 100 percent get the Prison bars.
It's irrelevant to Collingwood thier not even playing in the Showdown. I.know it's honouring the Port Magpies heritage
Eddie or collingwood dont have any say on this
yes this 100%, similar to my journey tooHey ImissFrosty
I spent most of year 12 at LAN Parties and most of undergraduate getting drunk.
Got beaten around for it when I couldn’t get into my career but that’s because I flunked half my degree.
Went back, did my masters at 27 and now in my dream career.
The lesson here is it all comes together. I flunked year 11 Methods, so I did Further. Do better than me at uni (it does help) but the best things you can do are interview prep and CV writing. You’ll get there - plenty of time.
yes this 100%, similar to my journey too
I did engineering for two years out of high school and then dropped out. Tbf I should have probably dropped out at the end of the first year but partied away for another year
Decided I would wait 2-3 years before I went back to uni when I would have more dedication (or know what I want to do). Went back at 23 and did a finance/accounting degree. Then after I finished just worked at leisure centres cruising for about 18 months before I got into finance properly. About 10-11 years in and I have my CPA, have worked for some really big businesses and now at my late 30's I'm a finance manager and should probably be Financial controller in the next 24 months when my boss retires. One of the best jobs I got was down to the fact I went to uni late, the manager at the time loved someone who went back to uni in their 20's, said it showed a real dedication.
People especially teachers and parents (in some cases) put way too much emphasis on year 12. The problem is at 16-18 years old who really knows what the fu** you want to do for the rest of your life? and most people have 3-4 career changes anyway.
My only advise to kids/teenagers would be one of two things, don't waste your time with a bullshirt degree like Arts that doesn't qualify you for anything and leaves you with a $20k debt. And if you feel passionately about a certain field, do not let people talk you out of it. You don't realize until you are older how much time work takes of your life, so try to enjoy it or if not at least enjoy it making you a heap of cashikf you don't love the job
Out of curiosity what do you do LeverPuller? I assume from previous posts you do something connected with government?
