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.

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.

What birds said, plus I'm guessing you dont pay commission on your own houses etc...

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...

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

You'd be surprised... people do it but thankfully not that often.

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
