hey just thought id start the same thread as the one in NSW. I know its copying, lol but it seems like a good idea and a good way to network. And it gives a headsup to students at Uni or tafe and what they can expect in a particular industry.

Well im a second year Uni student, doing a double major in Accounting and Economics at Monash Berwick. Still not sure whether Accounting would be challenging or boring as everyone says lol. If there are any Accountants on here give me an insight in your typical day. Cheers

lol where bouts in dandy sth... hammond road? im in sth too. Im doing my Eco subjects this year and accounting ones next year, and im doing pretty good.. but yeh not everyone that goes to uni is smart.. i realised that this year. caus they could have gone to tafe, got people to do all their assignments and then transfer to uni.. but you cant do that at uni caus most subjects have exams with 70% of your total mark... anyway a bit of topic but jst an insight lol.

I sell fibre optic cable, accessories, rack cabinets, etc. Basically I sell anything to do with fibre optics (the data type, not the decorative lighting type.)

I started uni back in '03 and realised it was a waste of time for me so I got straight into work. I was always going to end up with a job in IT/Telecommunications.

my friend is currently studying telecommunications enigneering and needs to do Vacational work experience. Would your company be interested? PM us :ermm:

The networking has already begun!111 :whistling:

Im studying Industrial Engineering & Engineering Management at Monash Clayton.

Will be looking for vac work this year, so if any business looking for lean manufacturing, six sigma, performance rating etc send us a PM :blush:

Work for Tru Energy connecting gas and elec. Studied IT though but hard to get a job in that area. Worked full time as a comp tech before and do "backyard" jobs whenever I can. Just hard to get a decent paying job in the area. Studied Network Engineering.

I am an accountant and it isnt too boring but like any job it does have its moments.

I worked in tax for several years and it is the hardest and least paying area of the profession. Try to get into working for a big 4 firm in financial reporting or even auditing. THis will give you a good background to work for a larger company in commerce and away from public practice. Time sheets and shitty clients will bother you.

Working in commerce generally pays a lot more and is more rewarding IMO than public practice.

First few years out of uni suck but once you a qualified CPA or CA and gain a further 5 years plus experience you will not work for less than $100k.

Bus driver for the State transit Authority...may not be the glitziest career, but its pretty relaxing and a fantastic perve as well...just think all those gorgeous city office girls I get to check out...of course the job has its moments ( like any job I guess )....but overall I enjoy what I do.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
