im going for a max oversize hi flow now after further thought and recomendations. in fact ive recieved so many recomendations and others thoughts that it just isnt worth talking about it for another 2 weeks. im getting MTQ to get a rb25 max hiflow stage 3 wheel. any experiences with MTQ here in adelaide.?
Didnt I just say i am going to ATS and bill there is hooking me up with a sweet GT30R kit?

Are u sure u know what your talking about :(

Uni are still teching Ada and Sun systems.

Uni for IT is really a waste of time unless you want to work in defense. A 4 or 5 year course garanties everything you learnt in the first year is out of date by the time you have finished. It has applications later on for pure research but not a lot of use in day to day IT

Try getting any sort of decent job without any formal qualifications...it aint happnin. Sure u can score a job doing some sort of "IT" job, but higher paying decent jobs with a window to advancement require the Uni background.

The "out of date" stuff is up to the individual to keep themselves informed about whats new, and coming soon. No job could offer that either...

That’s why I said

For many people it’s more relevant and offers better employment and remuneration prospects to do the MSCE and CISCO units than a degree in ICT. (IMHO and many others)

Although a Uni degree in IT alone wont get you too far, but add a business management or similar degree and you have opened a whole lot of doors.

Guy,

There are quite a few opportunities for those graduating from Uni as I have been receiving for the last year ~35-40 I.T Graduate 'only' positions per month. Slack off and those jobs are out of reach as they require a credit average or better.

A lot are within the government but a fair share also from private.

Providing one pulls their weight the opportunitys are definitely there.

I think it stands for both tafe and uni..

You can't expect to get far without a piece of paper full stop.

The same goes for you can't expect to get far without experience full stop.

Combine the two with a little luck thrown in, and your bound to go places.

As with everything in life you only get out what you put in. >_<

+ Working within the government (where you need a piece of paper from Uni to get your foot in the door) has very nice perks.

Having a uni degree certainly won't hurt your chances of landing a job, or improving your abilities as an IT professional. I say if you get the chance to take up a CIS/IT degree then go for it. Even so, having said that, some of my colleagues do not have formal IT qualifications and similarly my manager only has an environmental science degree yet he's regarded as one of australia's leading developers in e-health. My predecessor from a long while back at my current position went on to found Internode - and i believe he had just engineering qualifications and was a sys admin for our department.

So i'd say most importantly If you have strong desire to learn and continually keep up to date with industry trends, you can get to where you want to be eventually.

Yes. :) Depends where you want to work. Help desk/sales (with the possibility of being stuck there) and slowly work your way up or make leaps and bounds by entering the workforce via graduate offers.

All the GPA really indicates is motivation.

Its difficult not to get good/reasonable grades at Uni UNLESS your just slack. Allthough it may be a different story within Engineering. I.T it comes down to motivation. :)

I find that when work is too easy I cannot do it. I get bored to easily. At school anyway... You need new shit to keep it challenging and interesting in IT... if you want examples I can give you about 1000000 of them.

With engineering you actually have to try to get good grades. Some of the subjects are pretty easy, eg programming and the computer ones I didn't even study for or go to lectures and got distinctions. Maths, Chemistry and Electronics I studied all damn year and only got credits.

I'm definitely not saying the work is easy I'm saying if you turn up to the lectures/tutes/workshops and do the home work and assignments required its almost impossible not to get a good grade.

Slack off and not turn up to lectures/tutes/workshops and try to get by doing just the assignments etc and most of the topics are difficult resulting in poor grades. ;)

Allthough providing you don't have issues getting your head around programming you don't really need to go to lectures etc. I've got distinctions by only doing assignments and an exams in the programming topics. :(

I didnt pass my SACE well, im too slack to go to tafe although im doing it this year and im lacking the motivation of the challenge. what do you suggest without giving me a lecture? Is SAIBT a way to go to further my studies, I'm lining up an online MCSE course I thought that woudl be a good idea?\

Yes i do work as an IT administrator only because of my abilities. not qualifications but i want the big money so i want to seek further study once more. i think im ready for it lol.

I think im gunna have to dual boot Ubuntu from now on. I need to format my pc now me thinks anyways, so might be the right time...

Ill run Xp for games only, and run everything i need through this GUI. That is untill i need to use something that only needs Xp again dammit...

Do i have to reformat to FAT32 instead of NTFS when i go for this dual boot idea???

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
