a lot of people I know coming out of uni (honours, masters, anyone) are struggling. There seems to be jobs in the fields, they just want people with solid experience (from what ive noticed in the science and medical fields anyway)

Spot on. Get your basic degree required for the job occupation then go job hunting.

Generally, spending the time finding a job getting experience is far better than spending years getting your additional Honours/Masters/Phd degree. Unless it's a prerequisite for the job your applying for.

Yep! How fucked is society!

Study in the field you want to get into then they say you have no experience...

Gotta do volunteer work though. They don't really tell you this at uni or in high school, but there's a lot to be gained (possibly even a job from it) by working free for 6 months in the industry you're pursuing.

you're right birds, I encouraged my old housemate to try and get it out of the way during Christmas breaks. however my gf was repeatedly getting turned down by institutes because of OH&S and legal liabilities, confidentiality and requiring safety training etc. depending te industry, it's easier said than done unfortunately.

no offence to anybody, but I often meet graduate electrical engineers and they are taught relevant theory but spend a further year or two in a graduate program and are just as useless when they're done (which is a company thing). and then I recall a quote from Kevin Rudd how he had planned that 40% of the population will have a degree. which only further de-values the qualification and only increases the lack of work and over qualification of the average person.

there was a guy from work who had done a masters of engineering in India an given a job here, and it wasn't a racial thing, but lots of people were skeptical of his abilities because of his increased study time and lack of industry experience.

ranting. sorry for derail, needed a vent.

When I was at uni, some of the business and IT guys had IBL (industry based learning) where they effectively spent some of their contact hours onsite at a place of business...usually either got a job out of it or could at least say they had industry experience by the end of their degree.

Really sucks for psychology, cause just wanting to get into honours or a grad dip, they will want you to have done volunteer counselling. This wasn't their initiative or a requirement, it's just come about because every student does it to try and get ahead of others anyway, for a place in the course...leaving you looking rather unqualified just to learn more in your field.

I've got a couple of students working for me ATM that are pretty highly educated and almost done with their quals (exams shortly and all done)

One is Bio-med - can't find work anywhere, so will be working with us for quite a while from what they've said to me. Seems fairly common talking to most of my employees at the moment

Internship or graduate program or IBL or work experience while at uni or TAFE is where it's at at the moment....


Did a 9 months unpaid internship when I was still studying, then stayed on to work there (paid) and eventually found a better job later on.

And in some circumstances, people would rather hire TAFE students over uni students, for their more "hands on" experience.

Hey Jamie, i'll grab his details tonight .. him and his wife are here on a working visa, his wife is working for us and we have agreed to sponsor her so that gives him a free ticket to stay also i think...

But not being able to work is getting to him as it would alot of people so he is thinking of going back to Ireland, thus will see her follow

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.
