Should be much more given most marketing coordinator jobs require tertiary education

Art student mentality

Used to date an art student for a few years.. she now works at a travel agency

Then for some reason I seem to keep dating science students.. mostly bat shit crazy which is strange.

I'm all for getting rid of useless courses and university not necessarily guaranteeing you a well paying job, but jobs in an industry that require qualification should compensate the earning of said qualification to a degree (see what I did there). Other industries do it, with many companies paying employees to do courses paid for by the employer - why should it be any different?

The only argument I see against it is if you believe in free market, where it's obviously a popular job role to be in hence can pay so little in spite of needing to go to university for it.

Too much wasteland to catch up on....

My 2c:

PFC is dino tech. But I'm pretty much stuck with it for the moment

86 running 1:51 at PI is also on proper semi slicks. Jus sayin

yeah spose the university method is flawed because each yeah 10000 people graduate but there's no certainly of 10000 available jobs couldn't think of anything worse than studying for 4 years for no end result..

That's just how it goes I know but seems like it needs looking at IMO.

Das me mayne.

Big investment for the business. Only reason why I left was they were trying to put me on an unreasonable salary with no negotiation. Looks bad on me for leaving less than 1 year after I qualify, and makes HR not interested in doing the program anymore. The course I did has since been stopped and now only way to do it is correspondence to WA.

When you buy? There is no commission for the buyer to pay but it's quite hard to buy through own agency it's more hassle than it's worth

Its a broken system and I wouldn't be surprised if uni enrollments have diminished over the years and will continue to. Not unlike the housing situation it's something that needs to be looked at because heaps of people never end up paying back their uni debts and/or end up in the welfare lines costing further money.

If I could go back to 17/18 I would have taken up a trade and gotten into investment somewhere. But as a high school kid you're brainwashed to go to uni so you can get a degree and get a good job...go through uni paying to do what your friends are getting paid to do...get out of uni and your tradie mates already have houses and earning more than you. Several years before you overtake them and if they've been wise about their investments you'll never overtake them. Uni is a stepping stone and never a guarantor of a good job or career path but it certainly wasn't advertised with that reality when I was in high school. And I have a job / to a degree am a successful product of the university system, albeit not earning as much as tradie friends - plenty of people who don't even have what I have and well, fk their lives.

Commission would obviously before when she sells. She won't be hiring an agent and she'll probably try to do her own conveyancing too...

[alr33x]

Own conveyancing I doubt it, needs to be handled by licensed conveyancer. But yeh save comm selling your own of course

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

What do tradies do when they get old?
