    if i wanted to ride the mining boom..

    what about mechanical engineers? I don't want to specialize in mining also because you need to move out to some secluded hole in WA. Also, if money didn't play a role I would be an economist. But 100k at the mines straight after graduating is hard to refuse.

    if i wanted to ride the mining boom..

    I'm interested as to why you think the mining boom is going to end though. read an article, saw it on the news, heard from your eco teacher? If it ends soon, Australia as a nation is fucked. Our export base is so narrow and we are so heavily reliant on foreign capital that an end to the mining...

    if i wanted to ride the mining boom..

    um no, it is not about to end. The global economy is slowing. So obviously the mining industry will contract along with the rest of the economy. But if you're suggesting that the mining boom is going to end because of the recession then you've got to rethink your logic. China is projected to...

    if i wanted to ride the mining boom..

    What could I major in? The obvious is engineering (mining) at unsw, but I don't want to confine myself just to that. Would mines still employ mechanical, civil and chemical engineers etc? If so, would the salaries be substantially lower that mining graduates?

    Does God exist?

    Well it's ignorant to be absolutely sure that there is or isn't a god. It isn't a matter of which side of the fence you are on. Why should someone believe or disbelieve that there is a god when there is no proof either way? but we lose all consciousness... where do WE go?

    Does God exist?

    I feel empty, like my life is worth nothing. I cannot comprehend the idea of ceasing to exist after I die, I want to feel like there is purpose for my time here on earth rather than just being an occurrence by chance and sheer luck. Please, show me the way and I will blindly follow.

    Does God exist?

    who is more stupid, the person who is certain god exists or the person who is certain he doesn't? how can you post/talk/rant with any conviction on a topic which cannot be proved nor disproved?

    Parents?

    Re: Something that made you say "my parents are so naive" science is based on proof, religion is based on faith. The two are totally different. imo the bible, and every other religious doctrine, was intended to be taken figuratively. Therefore there is no conflict between science and religion.
