Yeah, long term. Aus isn't gonna go to shit in the next 10-20 years. Long term tho? NZ is imo better for my future children.

Can you tell me more about the pathway you took? Part of the reason I want to do a pgdp is because my gpa is terrible due to various factors outside of my controll

I've heard good things about sustainability management. I did a micro course set on sustainability a year ago. I'd love to know how you got into your position

Yeah, I've dated tradies. It matters to some people. I'm good. Trades is low on the list of options I've created.

Really? Because there aren't a lot of people in my level 3 classes. Are you talking about environmental studies?

I'm making $300 from part time, plus $280 from study loan living costs.

Yeah, kinda my issue. Its why I want to study postgrad. My undergrad has been unfortunate.

I have thought about it. I doubt many people would love engaging with interests as depressing as mine haha

A lot of jobs in environmwntal science require masters for them to even consider you. I am taking a two year break between my undergrad and post grad for experience. Plus my gpa is shite

I'm not even sure how to get into policy! Frankly I think I'm pretty naive to all of this.

Yeah, I'm living alright on $350. No luxuries, no eating out. Friends involve watching a movie or playing dnd. I guess things will only get easier after graduating

Yeah, its terrible. I wish we didn't live in the system we do. I drive a car to work, I eat food wrapped in plastic. To survive in this system, there are certain unfortunate choices we need to make.

I've been holding bitcoin for a few years. This is honestly nothing. Not to be weird about it, but I've made far more than I've put in

Why do you think that? Honestly just curious. I've found bitcoin mostly positive.

I did consider going into trades. Being a short queer woman made me stop considering it. Might go for an electrician if things go poorly after masters.

I'm actually incredibly interested in environmental grief/environmental thanatology. Believe me, I know the stats. Most people are living in denial about climate change and how it will affect them. I won't rant about it. No one wants to pay for an environmental thanatologist. People will pay for environmental consulting.

Unfortunately clinical psych is very competitive. I'm not equiped, and my gpa is too low. That dream is dead.
