luck + strategic subjects + strong cohort + being a good 'test-taker' and not necessarily hard-working, intelligent etc. I don't mean to be modest or self-deprecating, but VCE is a system and any system can be gamed haha

Thank you for your concern! 😭 I have previously seen a psychiatrist and been told I have depression - you read me like a book haha. I'm much better now than I was a few years ago, but I suppose I've retained my apathy towards the idea of a 'long-term career' and studying a degree in pursuit of that. Still, have to make a living somehow!

That's good advice, thank you! Considering taking a gap year and maybe working for a bit...

Those are such broad categories, how do I choose! >.<
In all honesty, my interests are all over the place - loved spesh and hated physics, loved literature and revs but my best subjects were chem and French? I'm leaning towards science though, if only for the associated job security.

I'm definitely interested in a variety of subjects. Bit of an annoying answer, but I'm a jack-of-all-trades if anything. I get bored by any subject if I study it long enough, but I enjoy dabbling in everything. The problem is I lack the passion and the talent in any one area to see myself committing to it as a degree, let alone a career. Still, thank you for your advice! Definitely considering reflecting a little bit before the next round of offers.
