Need life/educational advice Cunt 12/24/15 (Thu) 16:56:27 No.38902

Saw another thread about some cunt asking for TAFE advice so I thought I'd do the same. Graduated this year and currently working at maccas. ATAR is horrendous at 39.90, I'm not a shitcunt I just didn't try as hard as a could, English was fucked (seriously whys that compulsory, I wish I had the choice between a compulsory maths, English or science subject, not just thrown into the deep end of English fuckery)

Any who, continuing on. The one subject it did well in was IT Multimedia. Scored 96% in my trial mark, but got fucked in the HSC because a kid in my class got a band 1, so that scaled everyone down, and I couldn't beat the assessment mark in the exams so that was scaled down too, so I ended up topping exams but only coming out with 78/100 and assessment mark couldn't drag me up because they scale that up/down to the highest exam mark.. Confusing fuckery I know.

Anyway. Uni isn't really an option and I'm not sure if it's for me anyway. Thinking of doing an IT related TAFE course, brother did it and got a job web developing for this caravan place before he even finished his course.

Here's what I'm looking at, opinions on these courses and where it could take me would be appreciated. I hate going into things without knowing or a guarantee of where it can lead me, which is also why uni might not be for me

>do bachelor of (insert thing)

>still can't get job

kind of thing

C3 information digital media and technology (multimedia)

" " (web technologies)

Dip Website Development

C4 Web-based technologies (design and development)

* C4 information technology (this title seems very broad, some insight into this would be good)

* C3 computer systems equipment (interesting but only c3?)

C4 networking

* Dip networking

* = particularly interested in

There's a few I missed… But that's the gist of the courses in that area I'm interested in, just a general insight into what those courses can do for me, if it's worth it and what's involved, would they put you through placement?

One more thing.. Colleges any good? Hear they're nothing but a scam, a whole heap of dept and your qualification is not nationally recognised.

Cheers cunts.

>starting a whole new thread for a topic you know already exists

ATAR is fucked, but you are legitimately a thick cunt.

You're right to stay away from colleges, though. Not having national recognition for whatever effort you've put in is some Mickey Mouse bullshit.

Yeah OP we already have this thread but it's christmas.

ATAR doesn't really matter, you can get into most unis as a mature age student even if your ATAR is shit.

As someone who's fucked around at Uni for 4 years and been in and out of work: do a course that gives you practical experience in what you want to do for a living. Heaps of tafe courses have an internship component.

Ya into tech/e net stuff there's heaps of stuff that you can learn on the net.

Codeacademy

learn html cunt.

I dont know shit about those courses but do one with a practical component.

>96% in trials

>39.90 atar

>tard got band 1 so i got fucked

this isnt how the scaling works at

all m8, what subjects did you do? I did

math ext 1 and 2, physics, chemistry, adv

english and japanese extension, and even though they are generally ranked up they are harder courses compare to say general maths

which makes the scaling fair and is also balanced out by the competitiveness of these subjects as atar is a rank. tbh i didnt even study that much and got a mark im happy with, theres no way you consistanly performed on a test a 96% and magically got scaled down to a couple of marks above a mystery mark. accept the fact you had two years to get serious and think about your future and that you fucked up, untill you do that it wont matter if you take alternative entry to uni, you wont make it with that mantality, the studying continues at uni, it doesnt end at hsc, get your shit together.

BONUS;

>colleges any good? hear theyre a scam

kek m8

You're retarded.

To be fair, they stop teaching you english spelling and grammar after you leave primary school. High school english is just reading shitty books and racking your brain to fabricate enough bullshit about them to fulfill an arbitrary wordcount on essays.

Forget further study. Just apply yourself at your current job and work your way up the ranks then in a few years or so you'll be managing the place, or at least an assistant manager.

This.

Didn't notice it when I was at school myself because I could English proper like what the Queen does, but when I see what younger relatives push out it makes me want to cry.

Which really shitted me off, as that system assured someone like me with an EngineersBraine, and a Mother who was doing Linguistics at Uni, as always being in the bottom of every English class– when I was 1st in everything else.

That's baby boomer bullshit

>Work at company 5 years working ass off

>Get 1 pay rise of $2.50

>Time goes on get given more work, accountants messing around with my paychecks

>Work is so busy have to work through lunchbreaks including staying late

>Notice some dirty Filipino's get hired

>Get made Casual and have hours cut, have to quit because I can't pay rent.

>Hear from a mate that the company was shut down and lost it's clients from shoddy workmanship.

>Pretty much back to square 1 with my life.

The only way your gonna really make it in this fucking era is if you cheat the system or do something on your own, otherwise your just some cunt following a carrot.

Sounds like the both of you have had some shitty employers in the past. Not everyone's a cunt. There are some decent employers out there, it's just that shit tends to attract more shit. You're both too pessimistic.

Tertiary education is a waste of time and worst money.

Virtually everything computer related is available to learn on the web right now.

Just learn it create a portfolio for prospective clients / employers.

be leaning towards clients, employers are shit these day and will not recognize you, middle management will take all the credit.

Save money, time and have your own schedule.
