This really says enough. If you were fully serious about a career in business then you'd take the opportunity to go one of the world's best universities and do a BCom there.
I need to learn how to properly quote because it's killing me answering it like this!!!
I would love to go to ANU if it was located in Melbourne. Everything is in Melbourne. I have a family here. I have my pets here which are pretty much like children to me; when I go away on holiday I start envisaging 7 days into it what my dogs are doing and how badly I want to be back with them - I think I have some weird pet homesickness kind of thing, but just sad. 5 (double degree) years away from home and two of them would probably have passed and I just can't not be there for them .. it may seem weird but I'm weird like that.
The business I want to get in is non-traditional, something creative such as advertising. In Melbourne I can always have the outlet of nepotism to fall back on, leaning on my parents for an internship for experience for that resume that I have with 3 nothings on it. Despite your defence for Canberra, I've been there a few times and it just isn't really a place I would like to call home. Like aforementioned, the creative side of business that I want to get into is almost non-existent there in Canberra. I also am planning on creating a low-cost start up after schoolies with my friend here in Melbourne and already have the business plan all written out, and despite the likelihood of failure, hands on experience would be fantastic.
I probably should have written it earlier on but like I've said multiple times in this post, I want to go into non-traditional business. A business degree doesn't enclose you into a single business which is why it is so great - there are so many things to choose from it's unreal. Marketing and Management give you a set of desirable skills in a business which puts you on the forefront of a screening process for when a job comes up when your mid 20's. Sure not straight out of graduation its unlikely you'll become a manager, but a degree for me at least is about the big picture.
I'm a member of whirlpool and have posted on a few threads to-do with education, and despite quite a few posters probably being quite ill-informed they responded with answers like ensure you attend a G8 university or else you'll always be second. When I was previously saying attend a G8, that came from mainly actual businessmen and not whirlpool, but yeah with polarisation, a few said G8.
Most likely the RMIT person would get the gig. However, as you said, there are always more than two and often than not only one job on offer in particular businesses. Coming second to none in all areas such as skills, charisma etc. all contribute to getting a job, but so does a degree and it would suck constantly being rejected by coming second. But in an area that I am more knowledgeable on, in the field that I want to get into like I said, it is almost imperative that you have the uttermost highest credentials and everything else that makes an employee great because the competition is huge in comparison to the scarce positions available. Looking at the big picture I want to be a business owner doing something creative that I love, but I also wanted to get a 99 ATAR at the start of this year so I always have to consider the possibility that I'm being naive.
Not to mention I am committed. I've fucked up VCE I admit that but it is mainly because I take no interest in it regardless of how important it is supposed to be. With Legal Studies there is a chance that I will get a 45+ and if I don't I will be incredibly disappointed. With Global Politics I believe that I'm in position for a 40+ but at my school some kid got 100% in every SAC and did shit in the exam due to my schools lead up to it and got a 32, or at least that was the reason and it was the highest mark; but I still believe I can do well. English I'm terrible at mainly due to lack of effort, not reading the set novels and not asking questions even when I don't know how to write a 'whose reality' essay; I wrote a story about a game for my last SAC because I was just that puzzled on what to do. With all that being said, I have drive to succeed and do well in Business; most of my should be studying or working in class time I basically sit there imagining what life will be like 10 years down the track, how I'm going to achieve that, and then ponder business ideas, consulting with people about business plans etc. so really I just want the best for myself, regardless of how much of a clusterfuck I've gotten myself in. All this convoluted verbose bullshit was in response to the first thing you said, I lost track of this quoting system.
