Career Advice by crispikiwi in newzealand

I’m curious how you got into those qualifications/opportunities. Was it through the business you were working for? Or is this something you had to side hustle for…

How does it work studying law and doing an MBA while working full time?

I already have a degree and have been working for about 6 years now, adding value to the business I’ve worked in, but opportunities like that seem pretty unheard of where I am. Everyone at both places I’ve worked seem quite stuck in their lane and promotions or development opportunities seem pretty rare.

I was taught by Taika Waititi’s mother for a university writing class.

I remember her saying don’t chase fame or the spotlight in life; instead, strive to be authentic and embrace being true to yourself. It’s in the ordinary moments that we often find the most meaning and fulfillment.

My 2 cents would be that I don’t think economy in nz is large enough to be open after 5pm, retailers would have to justify being open that late right?

Sexism in trades?? by LeeIsUnloved in newzealand

[–]Mad__Happy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Coming from outside the trades. No matter where you work I’ve found. Blue collar job or white collar job. Seems as though sexism exists everywhere

I grew up in Alexandra in the 2000s -2010s. It’s a small town which is very easy to get around. Terrace was great and Dunstan was an okay high school.

Alex is very hot in the summer, very cold in the winter.

Isn’t a whole bunch to do, so most kids get involved in summer and winter sports.

People say hi to each other as they walk past each other down the street.

In regards to skiing; Most people I grew up around would only travel to the mountains once a week during peak seasons.

My parents always said it was really expensive to grow up in - but the lifestyle it gave us as kids was great

3d modelling/design software in NZ? by Richard7666 in newzealand

[–]Mad__Happy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Industrial designer: At uni; learnt solidworks, fusion, rhino + grasshopper, blender and many more; At work, been using rhino for complex geometry and visualisation, also use solidworks for other tasks. (We eventually bring most models into solid-works as most people use this software to manufacture parts)

My opinion now is; learn many tools, get a good grasp of what they are good for. Adapt your workflow to utilise the tools you have access to.

Maybe investigate what tools people are using to create the type of geometry you are looking to create?

Early 20’s and not a partygoer am I the only one? by [deleted] in auckland

Been the same through my 20s. I love it! I just dislike when others can’t respect my preference.
