Mark, you are cray cray...that is all.

i think i am actually. not sure whether this is a good or bad decision!

just hoping after 5 or so years of study it pays off

[peteRS]

It will pay off.

Hahaha! that's funny as, the video that is.

Haha... I hope you are laughing at the vid and not my job title... lol!

But its so true... engineers think they know everything... and then shit hits the fan, they run.. wasn't me...

In your job, don't you hate people who need you to explain everything to them? Like each answer you give them, they need you to explain something within that answer... and it just keeps going...

I used to work for Telstra internet tech support... so many people out there shouldn't have computers or the internet... Nik's tech knowledge trumps them all...

Didn't do any kind of degree.

Haytchteehaytch

You are already a Master... you don't need a degree...

Bloody know-it-all!

I know nothing... nothing!!

See Mark, still a kid... I finished my degree when I was 21, and been working for the last 8 years... not going back to uni... I didn't find it very useful anyway... most of what I learnt in uni didn't help me in work...

Man, I did Business Law and commerce as electives too, in my insane all in one degree... I also did Psyc, electronical, accounting, maths, IT and Town planning... LOL! Specialization fail...

Basically choose an elective you think will help you, don't just choose them for credits..

i started doing uni when i was 19, but started in secondary teaching, decided after a year of that that teaching is not for me and not something im interested in. started working full time after that, and now decided i do want to go back and study.

so far ive decided one of my Majors will be Management, now just tossing up between HR or Supply chain and logistics management for my second major. going to do alot of law and IR electives i think, and whatever else i find that i like the look of!

Well, the rain has held off, so I might go a do a job or two Ciao.

You'll know if just before your degree(s) end, you get headhunted...

But like I said, check out what you want to do carefully... you could talk to some people who have the jobs you want, or some companies you might want to work for in the future, and see what they think of what you should do... at least they will know that in the near future, there will be a dude who has the qualification they are looking for when hiring...

Yeah the video, classic, the song just tops it off.

Yeah trying to explain things even with crude drawings, and you see it ticking over their head and you know they have no idea, and im not talking difficult things, sometimes something as
simple as "run the yellow wire into the yellow plug" and "antenna cable from the wall into the back of the tv"

Seriously, with technology doing everything for people these days, people are getting dumber (i am not the smartest person but seriously these people take the cake, although they
would have to ask how to eat it.)

So true... like my wife says, with kids these days, they are experts in iphones and tablet and stuff, but can't write with a Pencil for shite... unless it was drawsomething on a tablet...

People have become lazy... where they need things fed to them or done for them... so in your comparison with the cake, it would be like someone needing you to feed the cake to them, and open and close their mouth to chew it... I ain't ever going to get like that...

So many words......

Summary: People are stupid and lazy

No worries mate... I got ya covered...

Summary: People are stupid and lazy

That's all I can be bothered quoting.

It's true though, again i'm not the smartest person, but geez, I feel like a genius sometimes (not the apple kind).

Overnight Radio Le Mans announced that Mark Webber had put pen to paper making the deal official, meaning he would join Porsche in their assault on the World Endurance Championship.

Webber is expected to quit F1 at the end of the season, when his contract with Red Bull expires.

I think this was a given that it was going to happen.

Wow I would have thought he would get offers from other F1 teams. Oh well it had to come to an end at some point.

a good friend of mine has just finished doing Bachelor of business, and is high up in a major mining company now. definitely helps having someone whos just finished it who is helping me with advice on the topic and what to do. i have a fair idea where i want to end up, but just need to get my degree to get there first. ive always been interested in law, so going to chuck a fair bit of that in where i can as electives

i couldnt stand it i decided. id probably murder a kid within a year. coaching a team of juniors (all teenagers) is bad enough sometimes! least thats only a few hours a week and then a few full days a month.

Mining... yeah... thats where the big $$$$$$$$ is.... a few years in that industry and you could own a bank like Shaz if you wanted.... or just buy Shaz's bank... LOL!

Good stuff man... know what you want to do and plan it out all well... good to hear you know where you want to end up..

Yeah... I could never be a teacher... I can stand my daughter... but other people's kids... wow... if I had a gun... lol

[B4TT]

Can't buy Shaz's bank with mining, because Shaz owns mining too.

Yes...
