DOUBLE DEGREES @ Caulfield?
xox.happy1.xox:
I want to work... Not be stuck in uni all my life. :S

Why are you people so eager to get out of Uni as soon as you can? Double degrees are awesome, because you are well regarded when you enter the workforce. This means you reach higher positions such as executive or whatever much quicker then someone with a normal single degree.
While this is not applicable at all times, it is for most.
Hence by spendind 1 extra year, you are pretty much taking a short cut in terms of getting a job position which u wud have fought 5 years for.

The big difference between me and your uncle would be that I would be teaching instead of being taught. 8 years of uni courses would set me up for many, many years of teaching.

LOL! He taught at RMIT and Deakin for 10 years :P, then moved to work with SBS and then that News station Al-jazeera (however it's spelt), he's just doing something to pass the time I think, might move back into media again...

Maybe because I want to be working... and not studying for most of my life (that's just me), despite my thirst for knowledge, I do want to start a family one day, the bills wont pay themselves :P...
