I'm applying for BEng/Bcomm at monash. Does any one know if the clearly-in (2008) enter will rise significantly, as melbourne will no longer provide it? For 2007 the clearly in was 95.05

I went to some chemical engineering experience thing at monash and that helped me decide to go for chemical. But I'm still not absolutely certain that it's what I want

Hmm...I have narrowed it down to chemical and software engineering now....

Im leaning in more towards software since I like computers....but I like chemistry too...

Software engineering can create big bucks if you couple your knowledge with math and innovation :) (eg. Advanced Audit software for the Big 4 or a physics engine for a game)

Huh? O..k..

Petroleum "engineering" is apart (or subset) or Chemical Engineers. Many chem engineers work in oil giants such as ExxonMobil.

I'm not sure how stable the IT industry is, since most employers prefer to outsource their jobs. I'm not sure if the same applies for software engineering though.

And with chemical engineering, you could get into all sorts of fun industries, like cosmetics, plastics and petroleum. If you're interested in aerospace, you'd be working on the more exciting parts: composite materials, temperature resistant panels, etc. Flight trajectories would get boring after a while :P

But chemistry as a subject to study in uni is hard is it?........I don't think I could survive....
Think about all the stoichometry!!
How advanced is the chem in first year uni compared to VCE 3/4 just wondering?
