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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
