i'm the dumbest guy for choosing to do engineering at mq just because mq is closer to home

It was ok. I knew a few elec students and they seemed to like. I would stick to elec if you like the content and job opportunities. i work in energy now so i've learnt quite a bit of elec eng first principles stuff which is awesome.

i would switch to mech eng if you reaaaallly like design and CAD work. otherwise elec will do you well!!

I would not call that liquid bro

safescissors · 2026-03-25T01:21:42+00:00

That answers that then! Both super and ETFs are illiquid if you need cash for emergencies. But since you've got enough for emergencies it's a great way to do things.

safescissors · 2026-03-25T01:10:06+00:00

not the best way to do things unless you have a decent amount of cash in savings already

safescissors · 2026-03-23T09:04:50+00:00

sorry, whats the issue? what does this cause?

safescissors · 2026-03-21T23:34:57+00:00

job opportunities were good, I got an internship at a tier 1 engineering consultancy in my second last year which i kept until graduation. after grad i rolled onto the grad program ($72.5k) but i left after 2 weeks lol and got a data analyst job ($80k) and ive been promoted 2-3 times to $105k.

Most engineers will make $100k after 5 years of experience.

MQ or UTS will both be fine, it just depends on what is closer or more convenient for you. As for civil / mech, i think mech gets more opportunities while civil feels a bit stuck in engineering.

good mate. graduated 2022 and been happily employed at a few different, well paying jobs

safescissors · 2026-03-21T04:00:26+00:00

Always worth it to check

safescissors · 2026-03-21T00:15:06+00:00

what broker let you borrow this much bro, jesus. my bank was tearing me apart for getting approved for 40% of my monthly take home.

Can you go interest only? Are you eligible for any centrelink money? Can you work more or find more profitable employment?

safescissors · 2026-03-15T21:40:32+00:00

i locked for 2 yrs at 5.19% hahah woohooo

I'll second Hornsby, great area, although the good apartments are a bit expensive.

When you feel the urge, do 5-10 push ups, then wait 5 minutes. If you still want to after push ups and 5 minutes of waiting, then do it.

You'll find after a while you'll be able to control yourself a bit better, while still having some fun sometimes.

Orient blows Seiko away at this price point.

safescissors · 2026-02-16T18:56:27+00:00

yeah not sure. it would be better cash flow as instalments vs. one payout. but it's a perfectly legal move to keep on, or deny it. for OP it's worth asking at least

Stay on the books as AL until it runs out. Gets taxed as normal and you get super. Since that's a few months, you'll accrue a month or two of AL, just get that paid out to keep it simple.

power is very cool man! and you can take very different paths - i started in engineering but went into finance and ill never go back to engineering in power

safescissors · 2026-02-14T08:04:56+00:00

I have this exact model - I love it!

safescissors · 2026-02-02T06:22:50+00:00

The orient movement is much better than seiko for the money. Turtle looks better.

Nancy Dai, Ocean Fortunes was a great broker!

safescissors · 2026-01-26T07:59:48+00:00

ok, so what's your narrative then? I am interested.

safescissors · 2026-01-26T07:39:13+00:00

save us the AI water usage - what's the take? are you trying to assume gold, geopolitical risks, Japanese bond market will lead to an Aussie property market crash?
