So birds, plsh explain again how Tomich is not a flog and it's all Tennis Australia's fault

Tomic arrested after drunken party in luxury Miami penthouse http://ab.co/1GoVb4P #abcnews

He's certainly acting floggish now - but TA are still bigger flogs IMO - sending out that hall of shame press release, come on, was that an iPhone autocorrect mistake? My press releases get proof read about 6 times over by different people and a leading title like that in a national governing body gets missed? Immature as shit. TA seem like a bunch of high school students who could school even Tomic on how to be a flog.

Also that hotel seems to make a lot of wild claims about being a party haven for celebrities and meeting any requests for a place that kicked someone out for loud music

This statement made me lol

Some "type" of alcohol...like alcohol?

In my day it was 20k ish

[UNR33L]

I guess its not even just the hecs, it's the wasting of time you could of been working full time and moving up. (if the degree is a pointless one with no work)

4 years of not earning even an average 50k salary = 200k behind.

nek minit you're 35, houses are $2,000,000 and owned all by Chinese

[emts]

so from melb uni now per year:

The student contribution amounts in 2015 are $8,768/EFTSL for Sciences, $6,152/EFSTL for Humanities, $8,613/EFTSL for Built Environment.

so an engineering degree is 4 years so 35ish?

think I exited with about 15-20ish

[UNR33L]

Engineers actually get jobs though yeah?

One I'm more interested about is the science, I'd be pissed if I paid 35k, wasted 4 years of my life to NOT work in that field..

Even going from contact role to contract role would get annoying..

std sci degree is 3 years at same rate, 4th year if you want to do honors. only really worth the 4th if you looking to do further study like a masters or a Phd.

oh and most of those doing masters/Phd are on a scholarship paid for by private industry (cheap way to reaseach a new technology) so it not coming out of your precious taxes.

personally I think we should be funding more education/uni/reasearch.

if we want to grow the planet we either need to do that or bring in more migrates that have skills.

first part, imma say incorrect.

second part is for truth.

standard degree in science is very general and is pretty limited employment wise. Honours is almost mandatory to work at decent institutes or research. Institutes encourage their staff/students to do PhD programs and even decline applicants that arent interested in a PhD program in the future.

(its all pretty ridiculous to me, but I think uni is too broad in most bachelor degrees and needs to be a lot more specific. or maybe it comes down to high school being too broad/not having enough influence on uni course content?)

High school too much focus on ENTER scores and getting into the course you want (but 80% of the time knowing nothing about what area or field). people pick subjects they enjoy or are good at or net the best ENTER. My high school just never spoke enough about further study or actual work place qualifications/roles.

really? did you shop around. i get basic extras and still dont pay that much.

I cant imagine going to the dentist and paying full price. you'd go broke pretty quick if you needed serious work.
