My predicament

[costargh]

im not too fussed anymore guys.

eveyrone here seems to be much more passionate about it than me (either passionate that i dont get in, or passionate that i do get in).

im happy doing somethign else... so hopefully this just just dies and is forgotten.
perhaps i will do distance ed methods, but not sure not likely.

Well good luck with what ever you decide to do next year

thankyou much appreciated

im happy doing somethign else...

Arts! hehe

[costargh]

hmm probably not for me, but nothing against arts itself


com/law at deakin is appealin yet scary at the same time.

any thougths on Law Brendan? Ive noticed uv dropped law... is it that bad? :S advice?

[excal]

I had to drop acc or eco and i wasnt willing to do that. i wouldnt change my decision anyway. i loved economics even though i got 33. not to sound cocky but my score doesnt do justice to my understanding of economics. u can ask anyone on here, not that i have to answer to you or anything.

Same for me in Business Law at Uni. I don't feel that the mark I got in it compared to the amount that I actually knew. But, I guess, a part of that is the Business / Taxation Law dept. doesn't like giving out marks.

But, I'd have to step and rationalise a little in that, generally, they simply won't consider you if you don't meet the prerequisites (I've seen some of these cases before, although in the case of missing prerequisites - I knew a person who did *really* well with a score in the high 90s, but could not enter Medical Radiations due to lack of a Physics unit). However, I wish you the best of luck in pursuing the contact with the faculty.

I also think Eriny's suggestion is a good one as well - take a bridging course in Maths to meet this requirement through Open Universities or even redo Methods via Distance Education Centre, Victoria, TAFE or the Centre for Adult Education. A plus of this suggestion is that you can do this while taking a 'gap' year of sorts and working for a year.

that seems like the way to go, particularly if you can earn enough to be considered independent for youth allowance purposes.

Come to think of it, I'm actually eligible for YA due to my IBL scholarship.

Doubleplusgood!

You seemed more set on economics and commerce. The study of the law is a totally different ball game. You've got to ask yourself: Why do you want to study law? Do you want to be a lawyer?

[costargh]

I'm not too sure. I dont even think I am capable of studying economics now that I got my results back.
I kinda wanna study law because I think it'll be a challenge and it seems interesting but I guess I dont know too much about it which is why I want some advice and thoughts on what studying law is actually like.

I'm not sure if I want to be a lawyer.

Tell me bout it

I found that exam fkin ridiculous, and I knew that stupid txtbook bak 2 front (aside from a few pet hates I knew I would have 2 refer 2 in the txtbook).

Aww... I want to do business law when I transfer over to Monash in a couple of years... :S... Surely it's not that mind boggling. XD

Course content isn't *THAT* bad, but I am certain that that exam was DESIGNED not 2 b finished.

Well, a law degree opens soooooo many doors to you. You don't have to be a lawyer!

what can you be then?

[costargh]

In the last 24 hours I have gone from 99% sure going to do com/law at deakin to very little chance that i am going to do law at all.
its just really kinda scary

[ninwa]

very little chance that i am going to do law at all.

WHAT WHY???

what can you be then?

politician, diplomat, judge, CEO, teacher ... lots and LOTS of things

Or you could be a consultant for a legal TV show, do something really random

[costargh]

i dont think its the right choice for me.

i think my hear lies with commerce/business and id rather do masters or somethign than do law... id probbly suicide if i did law

... Suicide? Noooooo, law is fun, costargh! I swear!

[muji]

I've also got a choice to make.

Im eıther goıng to choose RMIT (management) ın the cıty or La Trobe (busıness) ın bundoora.

I prefer to go to rmıt as ıts closer to where ı lıve about 15-20mıns publıc transport whereas la trobe ıs about an hour by car.

Busıness at la trobe ıs a general commerce degree whereas RMIT's I dont really know ıf ıts specıfıcally management or a commerce degree.

My famıly members want me to goto La Trobe but ım not sure yet.

Whıch unı ıs better ın my case?? Is there a hıgher chance of me gettıng a job wıth La Trobe or Rmıt? Whıch one ıs more prestıgıous? etc etc

any extra ınfo wıll be hıghly apprecıated

Need advıce ASAP!!!
