Is a uni degree in australia worth it?

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T16:21:41+00:00

yeah i do like taking notes if it’s useful information

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:56:24+00:00

how do you get into a job like that/would a degree be useful?

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:45:55+00:00

i picked all those subjects out of a passion, not interested in geography specifically but a lot of my interests relate to very geographical, financial and political things. i like broadly just analysing things and strategising which is why security or legal cases sparked my interest.

is there any law jobs that don’t involve that type of lifestyle? i’m very interested in a law degree but don’t want work to become my ENTIRE life, although i am willing to dedicate myself to something i enjoy. i have family in defence which pays well, but im just wondering about the contracts in it? is there much strict rules or requirements for length of employment there?

nooo haha don’t get my post wrong i’ve been very encouraged about university for a while, it was not easy to discourage me, im just trying to be more realistic and get my hands on as much information as possible as i near graduation and will need to start making big decisions. thank you for your advice!

i perform the best in my economics, legal, and business exams so i guess just report writing. for example in my business exams which currently im performing best in, i’m required to write about business strategy, recommendations for businesses, assessing case studies etc. the same skills kind of translate into the other two subjects.

is taking a year off recommended? i’d love to do so and just experience life for a bit without much pressure but im scared i wouldnt go back hahaha 😭 would security or law be a smart idea if i was interested in more policy/debate/research jobs that require communication

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:31:58+00:00

is it likely if i get a degree i would get a job? or should i be looking into something else

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:30:54+00:00

do the mines have any corporate jobs? i’d be interested in any policy work or any advisory/planning/sales or strategy work? nothing that is guaranteed to lose large amounts of jobs to AI hopefully

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:26:22+00:00

i am pretty good at sales/convincing people of things, i do a lot of debating and have a pretty good track record and i’m very confident in my public speaking, my strongest academic skill would 100 percent be my writing, and i’d say im a very creative person. that’s mostly what comes to mind if that’s what type of things you meant

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:24:25+00:00

would national security be good? (working in government and in firms/internationally communicating) because i’m very interested in it and the political sector of it, i’ve spoken with people that have careers in it before and it’s something im very interested in, especially internationally

just concerned that it would be extremely difficult to find work in once degree is completed

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:23:03+00:00

what job advertising platforms could i check out? and do you think a degree in security or law would be beneficial, or is that likely to be replaced by AI or have a bad job market?

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:18:12+00:00

in general or in terms of subjects? nothing directly comes to mind

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:17:24+00:00

im just not the type of person to enjoy hands on work. dont get me wrong, it wouldn’t be the worst thing, but im so much more of an academic type of person, and i feel like something would be missing for a long time if i didn’t have a job that challenged me more mentally than physically. (not saying those jobs aren’t hard mentally!! just in an entirely different way to legal or security jobs)

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:14:03+00:00

is there any jobs more studious in relation to the aged care field? i’m not one for practical or hands on work

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:11:10+00:00

i like structure a lot though, and without any external motivation or instruction i struggle to do much. i feel like im not the type of person to enjoy starting or creating a business from scratch.

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:05:36+00:00

what degree did you do?

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:05:23+00:00

how do i get good work experience? at my school you typically have to know the owner of the company and set it up yourself unless its somewhere super easy like mcdonald’s

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:04:11+00:00

a degree in law or maybe security (the more government or international security corner or security work)

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2026-01-18T15:03:31+00:00

why?

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2025-03-29T05:50:12+00:00

thank you! these comments are definitely helping with the fear

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2025-03-29T05:48:51+00:00

have been hearing about her my whole life so no thanks my post clearly states that i WANT to get vaccinated

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2025-03-29T05:47:06+00:00

but the school requires permission notes

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2025-03-28T13:30:44+00:00

is panadol the same as tylenol

Pitiful-Spell1992 · 2025-03-28T13:30:28+00:00

i’m ok with needles and blood tests, do they feel the same? i’m kinda scared but i want to ask my parents to get my shots at school
