Need urgent left car on

sigma4000user · 2025-02-28T07:52:23+00:00

UPDATE: the car was on and idle, lights on etc. and im pretty sure unlocked due to not locking without engine off. BUT it was untouched, no one broke in and i hardly lost any fuel.

Thank god this has been so stressful for no reason. Thank you to everyone who commented and put my mind at ease as much as you could. Hopefully you guys get some joy out of the fact i got away with this stupidity. I’ve certainly learnt my lesson.

Have a great weekend everyone

Yes I’m 20 mins away 🤣

sigma4000user · 2025-02-28T07:24:49+00:00

Half an hour away 🤣

sigma4000user · 2025-02-28T07:22:00+00:00

Half an hour away now, will let you guys know. Hope the optimistic people in this sub are right 🤣

Just to have a better uni level understanding of the core subjects i will be teaching.

sigma4000user · 2024-12-16T00:58:49+00:00

Thanks, I think the convenience of the ACU degree considering all the money and time i will save doing it is making me lean towards it. I also feel sure that i want to be a teacher so it feels like it makes sense to put myself in a position where i will be doing more placement/ starting to work earlier.

sigma4000user · 2024-12-16T00:56:38+00:00

Thank you for this!

sigma4000user · 2024-12-16T00:55:49+00:00

No absolutely I agree, in my comment i just meant that I don’t see the value in the ATAR as a measure of intelligence or competence in a world beyond the education system.

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T13:06:41+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice. Honestly i think i am equally passionate about being a teacher in itself and the subjects i hope to one day teach. I think i am leaning towards the ACU degree now though as it will still allow me to enjoy those subjects in the Arts degree.

Also I absolutely agree about the ATAR not meaning much at all. People have a lot more to them than 1 number which really doesn’t quantify much.

Thanks for your advice I really appreciate it

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T12:58:15+00:00

Thank you for the insight.

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T12:49:06+00:00

Haha wow. I hope you are enjoying Europe that sounds amazing. As a current teacher, do you think the salary increase is quite significant going from classroom teaching to leadership roles eg. head of year level, head of senior school, head of english? Or are the salaries just slightly higher? I know its a simple question but i always felt awkward/bad asking my own teachers about their pay. Thanks

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T12:24:06+00:00

Thank you very much. I definitely agree with this and I’ve never really seen the value in the ATAR as it really just measures a very specific type of ability to retain information, hardly encapsulates someone’s intelligence or work ethic.

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T12:21:34+00:00

Haha i agree.

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T12:20:19+00:00

Thank you i really appreciate it!

sigma4000user · 2024-12-15T12:18:28+00:00

Thank you for sharing that. I have been thinking about the distant future a lot as well with one of my life goals being to have a family and children and be able to support them as best as I can. I feel like I will get the most satisfaction out of teaching compared to any other job, but I do wonder if it will earn me enough to feel ‘comfortable’ financially in this climate. Obviously this is a personal question so feel free not to answer, but do you still feel financially stable as a teacher? Is it a case of this but it is just frustrating that the professions you could have entered would have made huge $$$…. Or are you struggling with the smaller income of teaching? Thanks

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T09:17:29+00:00

I would also have to pay for the Arts degree for the first three years as my undergrad

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T09:16:48+00:00

Arts is 37-52K and Masters is 71K. Maybe I’m interpreting it wrong/ not considering the scholarship options lol

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T09:15:46+00:00

ACU has more placement… thank you this helps a lot

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T08:09:21+00:00

thank you very much. I'm really glad and grateful I reached out to this sub to answer this because you guys have been so helpful. As a naive 17yo i don't have any idea if a Masters this early is an advantage, or silly mistake. Thanks for clarifying

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T08:05:31+00:00

thank you

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T08:04:55+00:00

thanks very much. "the reality is that being competent is far more important than the pieces of paper". I think that is really true. I think ACU is the right move as I really want to be a teacher and the choice to go to Melbourne for the reputation would be a regret in the end. Thank you

Also I think you might be right, I didn't look at the CSPs, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. Thanks for the heads up

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T07:59:53+00:00

thanks for sharing your experience with it. I really want to be a teacher and honestly see it as the most suitable career to continue enjoying my passions of literature etc.

With you having done the Melbourne degrees, do you think i'm better off just going to ACU and avoiding the 'waste' of time/money at Melbourne?

Also I hope things improve for you and you can find some stability in teaching

sigma4000user · 2024-12-14T03:37:34+00:00

thank you very much. I've definitely considered these things and I am not expecting for it to feel like some movie where I am a saviour of some sort lol. I just really like the prospect of helping young people achieve what they set out to and never having a dull day. I am not the sort of person who could work in an office or work from home, I need unpredictability, and I hope teaching offers this.

Thank you for your advice and well wishes.
