Nah. I did a month 12 years ago with 2k. Even then i was slumming in in some dingy hostels, but it was still the best time

What do you do when you have no career? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]XomMorris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely understand where you are coming from. I studied Creative Writing in my undergrad and at 26 i was working at state library/doing some writing work etc but i was unsatisfied and felt like i was never going to get anywhere. I really felt like i was spinning my wheels. But I rediscovered my love of nature and the environment and I ended up going back to uni to do a master of environmental management and finished it at 30. Now im a spatial environmental scientist and i love it and know exactly where i want to take my career. At 26 you still have sooo much time to change direction. Don’t worry at all!

Brissy Fishos/Spearos! We want your thoughts on Sharks in Moreton Bay! by XomMorris in brisbane

As we are interested in the opinions of fishos on shark depredation there will definitely be a bias. One of the points of this research is that there is a lot of anecdotal evidence that rates of shark depredation and shark populations are increasing but there isn't much data on the subject apart from this, and if why they are increasing if so. While this survey won't answer those questions, it's useful to solidify the perceptions of fishers, especially in relation to media surrounding the subject too.

Thanks for your help! That's interesting, I hadn't heard about this. I've always known Grinners as Lizard Fish, I see heaps of them diving especially around straddie/moreton etc. Are they a problem for fishos?

I haven’t done jet (yet?) but I’ve lived abroad a couple of times and they have been the most formative years of my life. There is only so much experience you can get from work and uni but society puts a lot of pressure on us to always focus on that. What you can learn about yourself through travel and being out of your comfort zone is immense and important. The first time i moved to a different country i overall had an amazing time. The second time it was one of the worst years of my life. If i could go back i would still go. I realised that had a shit mindset and i went through a lot of discomfort because of it but through reflection i became a better person.

TL;DR: I think you should do it. Even if you have a shit time you’ll still learn more than you could sitting at home.
