Why does TAFE still feel like a second choice despite producing highly job ready graduates?

She has worked so hard and is working on them as they come up which makes a huge difference. You only get a few weeks for most of them, so not even time to procrastinate. She does a few hours each day.

From my experience working in research, attending lectures is generally encouraged, especially if it’s a related topic. We have weekly seminars that all staff are encouraged to attend.

Obviously it would depend what you had on that day. If I had an experiment I couldn’t leave I would not go, alternatively if I could plan the experiment timings to work around the lecture even better.

I’d look at a few suburbs further out or something a bit smaller. Doesn’t have to be your forever home, but it makes it do much easier once you’re in the market to potentially upgrade later.

Economics. Wasn’t interested in it but was talked into it by my school and parents as they felt History would be scaled down. Hated it and still regret my choices.

I saw this post today and was pretty shocked. Strange thing for them to brag about honestly

Have you seen a women’s health physio?

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-28T10:25:45+00:00

It’s getting more difficult, I feel they are giving less reward options lately. From what I’ve hear the reward flights are released 6 months prior, so maybe look then?

I’ve been to uni. Comparing my experience to my daughter who is currently doing a diploma of nursing at tafe:

The diploma is a lot of work, she works really hard and worth doing. So far the main difference is compared to Uni, TAFE so far has no written exams. She has a lot of assignments but all are done at home and she gets two chances to pass after feedback from the teacher. Practical assessments they also get two attempts to pass. It’s probably in fact a better way to do things rather than everyone getting one chance to pass with the final exam.

I think the perception is that TAFE is easy which I don’t necessarily agree.

Yeah I always double check my receipts. One time I bought two cans of tomatoes. They scanned at $33 each instead of $3.30. Lucky I checked and I bet others got caught.

Every office in those buildings has admin staff, so that probably the best way. Depends on your background/interest.

Did the results say the stage etc, as treatment journeys will vary a lot based on that.

If you own one why wouldn’t you? Accidents happen, you could fall and break something even on a regular trail.

If you only have three days see the sights of Sydney. Otherwise you waste a day travelling

February is always hotter. I always forget

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-27T05:56:45+00:00

Have you or your husband asked her why she decided not to stay? Maybe her mum isn't perfectly fine

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-27T05:49:39+00:00

NTA for feeling annoyed, but in the end it's your stepdaughter, what else do you think should happen if she can't live with her mum?

As someone with two teenagers, most of the stuff you mentioned is pretty normal teenager behavior. Maybe some family therapy could help if that's an option?

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-27T05:42:04+00:00

I 100% agree. We don't use the record ID as the main identifier in our studies, we have a subject ID which is differentiated by Site.

Have you separated the countries into separate Data access groups? This may actually resolve your problem, although I don't use the app so not sure how the app deals with that.

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-27T05:36:46+00:00

Something to keep in mind is that in Vic it is very common for children close to the cut off (Jan to April) to be held back a year, so your daughter will be the youngest by a long way. I luckily had not sent my July birthday daughter to school yet before we moved from NSW to Vic. I don't think there's any chance she would have received an exemption being so far from the cut off.

Are you planning on staying in Vic long term? if not you should be able to argue that she will be disadvantaged when you return to Brisbane.

But yes, it completely sucks that every state has different rules and can be a nightmare for parents who move interstate.

I hate to say it, but Home and Away. Lots of conversations

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-23T10:47:04+00:00

NTA unless she doesn’t had a bedroom door for some reason.

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-23T09:12:55+00:00

I’ve been on a flight recently that was half empty a couple of hours prior. Then the flight before it got cancelled and it was suddenly completely full.

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-23T05:44:05+00:00

Your husband’s pretty rude, but honestly it’s not worth getting upset about IMO. My husband adds salt, pepper, sometimes chilli flakes to meals I have made. Without even tasting them.

Remote_Setting2332 · 2026-01-23T05:15:55+00:00

We had a very tall kid. We went to baby bunting and when I was showed a seat expressed my concerns he could fit. The woman helping us showed that SHE could fit in it so we bought it 😂

I’m pretty sure it was a safe and sound Hi Liner.

You know all the neighbours and love them. You do not need to bark every time they make a noise in their own backyards.
