i spoke to my uws career advisor and he told me that if people dont like working in the engineering industry that they can go work for the banks....like macquarie bank.....and i was like wtff....

is this true?
is this for all engineers or just specialised ones?

yes this is true and for all types of engineering, this is mainly because engineers are considered to have the best problem solving skills (majority of engineers end up in management related jobs)and hence many finical institutions like to poach graduate engineers.You however still need relatively good marks to enter such institutions .

No, it is not true. If you graduate in engineering you have to be an engineer, it's enshrined in law (Engineers Act, 1945). Your career adviser is lying to you.

yeah its because engineers can do maths/problem solving at a high level and many commerce students can't. also, some jobs in banks require programming skills and engineers have got that covered as well.

What he means is that engineers > normal people.

:rofl: thats funny so usyd, so stupid

engineers can work in finance because the level of maths they do at uni is what is used for the finance industry
yeah uts is much better than usyd at everything

let me remember some of the stellar graduates from uts that have shaped australia... oh wait, there aren't any

you should probably accept the fact that any uni other than melb syd or anu is a glorified TAFE

  1. Usyd is utterly, utterly shit at engineering.
  2. Engineers (what i hope to be) are better problem solvers, and are better at a variety of jobs than other non-engineers. Why? Because they can solve problems that others cannot. Which is damn valuable to any employer.
  3. You oughta accept the fact that you just lost your argument.

Never said that, but uts is far, far superior to usyd in engineering courses.

That said, i wanna go to UNSW, but then again, i might go to UTS. I won't be going to Usyd for engineering.

This is getting old, i'm tired of this.

lol, if you even go by "rankings" usyd outstrips uts by far. i seriously do not know how you could come to that conclusion

uts is subpar in mathematics and the sciences which form an integral part of engineering

engineering isnt about maths

hello welcome to 2007, its called maths programs :rofl:

besides which we do the exact level of maths however you dont do any modern subjects such as engineering communications, designining for engineers, engineering project management and sustainability and ethics for engineering.

when it comes to getting a job, we pwn u shit cunts. go back to your research rank
thats cute you really think uts is a real university
