Nate Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Been following the VCE topic a bit but I couldn't find one for tertiary study so here it is! I guess I'll kick it off by saying that I'm now 3 weeks into a Bachelor of Business at La Trobe after doing a year and a half of a Bachelor of Education at Charles Sturt (which I dropped out of because it was shit) and I am absolutely loving it. I'm doing a Business Foundations class, Marketing, Accounting (Finance) and Accounting (Management) and for someone who did absolutely no business studies in high school, I'm really enjoying the content so far with the accounting subjects easily the most challenging yet enriching (pun intended) as I'm learning and understanding all of the new business lingo. So I guess I was just interested in what you guys are studying/have studied and what experiences you've had etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people go through life/uni not finding things that they both enjoy and can potentially make a living out of so congrats man. I think you should chat to Malloy on the forum here as I believe he did a similar course at LaTrobe and also now works professionally in the field which he loves. You should get him to point you in the direction of Subjects that might be most rewarding and have the most practical application out in the job.

MaliMate Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Just started doing the CPA professional course (y) after finishing Bachelor of Business (Accounting) @ VU in the hope of obtaining my Tax Agents Licence. Hooking up my mentorship next week as I just got a new job working under a CPA so quite pleased. Have worked in the industry for about 7 years part-time so my practical knowledge is a lot greater than my theoretical knowledge. Anyone else done/doing CPA?

bt50 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Along similar lines, but I have just started as an accountant approx 12 months ago however I took a different way in. I worked in car rental and fleet management for four years and got a job last March as a trainee accountant which basically entails a full time wage and a day and a half if Uni every week. It's essentially an apprenticeship for accountants I guess. 6 years rather than 3 as a part time course but you are learning on the job both practically and in theory and are guaranteed a job on the other side. Plus I did a year of Uni 5 years ago which has killed off my elective courses and shortened my course to approx 4 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadete Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I did a BA with a Double Major in Politics and History at University of WA then halfway through I transferred to The University of Melbourne to escape Perth and experience College. I ended up with a minor advisor role to a Federal MP but then came the 2007 election. I decided the politics game was not for me due to the pressure, and I now find myself working in the Education Sector. PPL knock Arts Degrees and I am not gonna lie and say I didnt muck around a lot at Uni when doing mine but a BA can be more useful degree than PPL think... they are also very flexible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA that prestigious feel Cheers guys! I'm actually majoring in marketing which I find really interesting too but I guess ultimately I'm wanting to end up in the sports business industry so I have a couple of key decisions to make. At the end of this year I'll most likely be moving to Melbourne (fucking exciting as) so my dilemma is whether I stick with the general Bachelor of Business (Marketing) or transfer into the more specific Bachelor of Business (Sports Management) at La Trobe as all of my first-year subjects co-incide with the Sports Management course anyway. My guess is that having a marketing major would give me more flexibility and a broader range of potential jobs whereas the sports management course would perhaps have less open job opportunities but provide the contacts I'd personally prefer, dunno what to make of it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world of government bureaucracy is an interesting one, but secure and easy to move around in. It can be frustrating at times, but the work generally means you need a broad skill set ranging from architecture to law to policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni is great, Arts degrees are very valuable and rewarding, Law is where I see myself working, but boy will I be happy to finally stop being a student when the time comes! I never took any kind of gap year (closest was my semester exchange to South Africa) so I've been a perpetual student since I was 5 years old basically. I'll be 25 soon so you do the maths!

I believe even doing a short 12 week course with H&R Block would be enough (as long as you have the degree aswell), going to do it next semester as it's a really good refresher from what I've heard and well worth the money/time. The tax subject in CPA and CA would definitely cover it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marteaux Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Essay question for politics: What are challenges for the democratic state in guaranteeing rights and liberties for its citizens? Anyone got any pointers on where I should go with this? Any tips appreciated Atm I've got -minority/majority rule (however the only states I can think of where this is applicable are hardly democratic like China, Syria, Egypt) -national security (particularly in USA with the patriot act) -constitutions (how homosexuals liberty limited by not being able to get married, and how difficult they are to change can lead to constitutions not reflecting views of society and by that not guaranteeing the rights and liberties of all citizens) EDIT: thinking about also talking about new and developing democracies that may not have the resource or infrastructure in place to guarantee rights and liberties for all of its citizens (women in India, minority religious groups in Africa) Edited April 8, 2014 by marteaux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marteaux Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Any psych/crim students got anything for me here? 'Individual explanations of criminal behaviour (e.g. classical, biological, psychological, and so on) are more convincing than social explanations of crime (e.g. ecological, social learning, strain, and so on).' Critically discuss this statement drawing upon TWO theories examined this semester. To support your discussion, make sure you use examples of specific crimes and/or responses to criminal activity.

You really should have taken some notes last week in "The City of Corpses". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
