You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Art student mentality

Marketing student mentality

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.

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
