What RUFFLES your feathers

[BLR]

mock tee counts coz you need it to pass high school.
i'm really interested in a course at ECU, is it a bad uni?

Yeah, I didn't know that because I was too busy sleeping in various TEE meetings, hence the ECU.

ECU academically is alright, I never really got into the social scene there because I don't seem to be able to relate to 'University types' but it's supposedly alright socially. I am not positive how the University is viewed by employers though, I have found that the work is exceedingly simple since I started doing courses via RMIT, University of South Australia etc. so it's possible ECU will not be the best Uni to go to if you are going into a hugely competitive work area, as a friend told me, it could be known otherwise as Easy-U.

I reccommend doing what alot of people do who aren't positive with thier TEE scores. Go to ECU for a semester of a year and once you pass a certain amount of units your TER will raise (back in the day a semester would raise it to around 80) adequately to get a transfer. Depending on what you are doing I would reccommend going to ECU, getting a feel for the course to see if you like it, do a semester or year and transfer to a more 'prestigious' university like Curtin or Murdoch. It will look better on your CV in most cases plus the units you do at ECU will most likely be able to be brought over to the new University so you won't lose any time.

If'n you're looking to transfer for school prestige, don't take the trouble unless you go to UWA.

Depending on what you want to do the more academically rigorous method is to complete undergrad at one uni and postgrad at another.

You'll generally find if a uni isn't prestigious enough to get you much of a job with undergrad degrees, it'll certainly get you into postgrad degrees at just about any uni in Oz. If you need postgrad anyway, save the hassle, do undergrad at the easy one and get high honours to hit the masters at the more prestigious school.

Go to Curtin

Ok I've resisted this thread but this is my rant.

Late night mobile phone ads telling me over and over again that I should put naked girls on my phone.

Surely women find this degrading and demorolising as well. Hopefully I'm not the only bloke who thinks it is nice to talk to a women who has brains and can hold a conversation and doesn't think Paris Hilton is a role model.

"Look at me I've got big boobs and no brains and have been told I'll be a celebrity if I take my clothes off for this nice producer of mobile phone adverts"

Ok rant over.

[Flamethrower]

Paris Hilton's boobs are nothing special.

nah thats pretty spot on WRF, their pretty pointless ads but the only reason their on is that there are probably creepy people out there that subscribe to that rubbish
