yeah im not mathematically inclined

so i did quantative methods instead... and that was actually interesting... learning about critical path project management, statistics and complex graphs...

algebra still reduces me to a whimpering heap.... quantum particle physics is easier to rationalize ;P

math, i sux'd at in high school

went to advanced electronic eng school with avionics and spacecraft specialty,, truck loads of really advanced math what was i thinking..lol, made perfect sense in college.they taught it so much better plus you got to build and design cool stuff with it.. not just theory.

I think i have a masters degree in partying/beer chugging..lol frat house fun

[Aberax]

Maths, geez, i failed that in year 12....and tourism, only because i hardly went to the classes....so i didn't get my sace

18 months at tafe doing Electrotechnology was interesting, maths was also a pain in the ass, but at least it was fun making circuits and making stuff blow up

lol I can't watch anymore, how pathetic!!

and to think I backed Richmond by 11 points

I think its easier to learn something when you have some kind of physical application to cross reference...

You can read about something as much as u want, unless you actually see how it works in real life you won't understand the references

At least thats what I've found about myself... I could read a whitepaper 10 times and still not understand it.... attempt to implement it on a running machine, while maybe breaking the system, I'd usually do it in half the time it'd take me to read the damn manual.... then again im a linux engineer by trade and the documentation often sucks so learning the systems yourself are usually the best route anyhow

-D

EDIT : Hehe Abe, I never got my sace either, but the sad thing is, if you quit year 10 and did a 6 months Cert 3 in >anything< at TAFE, it was actually higher on the IQ meter than the SACE. So, it would have been better for me to have left highschool after year 10, do a 2 year diploma of IT at tafe, and then skip two years at a university course (if that was the course i was going to take - for what I do they don't really have applicable uni courses sadly)

I have a Cert III in Electrotechnology Computer Engineering and Component Assembly.

I find that by doing things myself, i learn quicker then reading or listening about it....but still sometimes have to go to the instructions. Its surprising how easy a pc is to put together, but we still get people coming into work wanting us to fix there mistakes...all the hardware comes with instructions, if it doesn't fit read them and don't force it....enough of my uneducated ramblings

Its not that you're uneducated, its more so that the education system in australia had a big shift to the right when they introduced subsidized uni education and encouraged all the kids to take uni grad courses in order to get the country smarter... they succeeded, but they did it at the expense of tradesmen/artisans... which is why I know guys who lay tiles in bathrooms now who earn more than some psychologists... its one of the reasons that uni graduates in certain IT fields are scorned, because in many cases the real world experience is worth more than any amount of study... and my company prioritises people with industry level qualifications from Cisco, Microsoft, Redhat and Novell/Suse, way ahead of any uni course... there are no prerequisites to take the tests, so if you know your stuff you can get those certifications (provided you also part with 4 figures >)
