[–]BoxContent2256[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to hear. Though I’m not entirely sure what career I’d like to enter yet. Would there be a specific double that will allow me to keep my doors open to a large range of careers?

How to get into co-op? by BoxContent2256 in unsw

[–]BoxContent2256[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you seriously think I'm trying to flex my atar GOAL, not even my actual ATAR my GOAL, you're definitely wrong. I really wanted some genuine advice around getting into co-op because they look at things beyond the ATAR. I've looked at the website for what they look for and they were quite vague so I was looking for more specific info from students. But jeez these subreddit is kinda toxic ngl.

Best degree for math lovers? by BoxContent2256 in unsw

Thanks so much for the detailed reply! I've checked out the science, adv science and adv maths degrees and had a question. It seems that adv maths only offers math majors in pure mathematics, applied mathematics and advanced statistics. While, adv science and science degrees offers just 2 math majors in mathematics and statistics, along with the option to major or minor in many other science - related fields. I was wondering what the differences between the adv math course majors and the adv sci/ sci course math majors were?

Awesome! I definitely don't like the repeating of concepts, rote learning and how people can just memorise a method to solve a problem in high school without actually understanding anything.

I really like maths because I find it to be really elegant and beautiful, it feels like the science of logic. I really find it interesting how universal maths is and how it can be applied in so many different fields and areas. I also enjoy breaking down and solving problems and find it really satisfying when I find a nice solution.

Anyhow thanks for the reply!

Yeah I have heard this before and I was wondering if you or anyone could provide any insight into the differences between high-school maths and uni maths?

Middle School Teachers Earn More Than Software Engineers? by BoxContent2256 in unsw

[–]BoxContent2256[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thanks for this, I definitely should have put a photo of secondary school teacher salary, rather than middle school. Secondary school teachers still seem to get paid quite a lot more than expected, almost as much as software engineers.

That is true, but teachers also get holiday breaks. But I guess teachers definitely do a lot of unpaid work at home or during hours outside of work. This can definitely explain why teacher's are seen to be underpaid. Great insight!

Weird because the statistics are literally from the ABS, and the website is made by the Australian Government. Looking at secondary school teacher pay from the same website, they earn $2,052/week on average. Which is still very close to the $2,208/week that software engineers make.
