    what jobs are there similar to doctor?

    I thought schools/universities do career expos to help give some insight into what the different paths/roles are? Also doesn't hurt to speak to your careers advisor for ideas too. Coming back to enoilgram's point though, I agree, don't do something solely based on your ATAR/academics. Be...

    What sort of laptop should i purchase as someone who intends to pursue engineering at university?

    But do you actually need a laptop now? There's always going to be something better or cheaper down the line. I'm a huge fan of the Macbook Air - I'm currently using an M3 16/512 midnight; and previously had an M2 16/512 (also in midnight). It has epic battery life, great performance in everyday...

    is an iPad worth it for this degree?

    A decent laptop/ultrabook is probably far more useful if you haven't already got one which you can carry everywhere and has all day battery life.

    Advice regarding landing an investment banking job

    Just to be clear, do you just want to work at an investment bank, or actually be an investment banker? Two very different things, and with very different pathways. Even if you were to say the latter, do you actually mean the front office investment banker, or something in the realms of...

    Looking for BoS trial volunteers

    Wish I could but I didn't even get a band six in Business Studies back in the day (ironic given where I ended up career-wise)... that, and I probably wouldn't be able to commit to three weeks in October. Let me know if you think I can help/contribute in some other way though.

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    I know what you're getting at but funnily enough, it depends what you mean by "make it". In both of those markets there's a large expat community which is made up of "minorities" holding executive/leadership positions (ie above management).

    Careers Expo Video I made

    It's pleasant? But it's not clear to me what the point of the video is.

    Singapore

    Just provides a bit more colour to the quote and whether it was around homogeneous vs diverse/multicultural populations in response to your original post of "what did he mean by this?". I'm not saying I agree/disagree but as someone with cultural ties to the area and having lived/lworked in...

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    In my former organisation we actually spent significant time and resources deep diving into this... and rather than derail this thread, let's just say there was definitely some institutionalised biases at play in how the next generation of leaders was identified and included on the long term...

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    My parents told me similar stories as well from their childhood in poverty. If you didn't eat quick you didn't eat. Funny how these stories stay with us and pass down generations. That being said my daughter is a pretty picky eater so I don't know if I've managed to instill this value in her!

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    Just wanted to respond to this individual question even though it was directed at someone else... I wholeheartedly say yes to this whenever someone asks me this question. Was it worth working full time and studying full time in my early 20's to get ahead? Yes. Was it worth it to keep working...

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    I find this thread really interesting particularly with some of the older members commenting... I think perspectives definitely change as you grow both personally and professionally, and have a better understanding of the way things work. Regardless of any individual circumstances, I think the...

    cadetship

    Maybe try finding people who are current/former cadets and ask them to share their experiences, and see if it's what you actually are interested in doing.

    cadetship

    You realise it's a full time job and you need to be committed enough to deliver on work, and balance your studies as well? It generally goes to higher performing students who can do this. Also you might want to research more into which companies/jobs actually offer cadetships since if you...

    Thanks for putting in the effort to provide a meaningful response. I don't disagree with the points you're making and your observation about rental property viewings, but I still don't chalk it all up to too much immigration (although it is still a contributing factor). I personally subscribe...

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    With some broad assumptions that a family earning that amount, the couple would presumably be on higher level roles which means their income isn't always in cash/paid monthly, and maybe they're a bit older so they've recently started a family with say two kids in childcare (which wouldn't be...

    Sydney’s median house price to hit $2m, Perth $1m by 2027

    I don't think immigration is the issue since that actually helps fuel the economy, encourage supply, etc... but I'd say foreign investors and CGT/etc definitely distort the market a bit, somewhat offset by banks charging higher interest rates for investors (but that really only impacts people...

    Advice for 1st-time driver?

    1. Start learning in a carpark, and try to use a professional instructor as much as you can early on so you don't develop any bad habits... and again just before the test to make sure you haven't picked anything up along the way. 2. If you actually do your hours properly, you won't be phased or...
