If you're measuring it purely in money, then you've probably got higher earning potential as an accountant (without knowing what sort of jobs your friends have obviously) and more job opportunities. Trust an accounting student to measure the instant rewards as opposed to the future potential gains :p

i've finished marketing myself, and i'm now doing accounting. tbh, i've started so i might as well finish. but i wonder, some of my friends haven't gone to uni and are now earning around $40-50k per annum. after 5 years study i'll come out of uni and be earning the same. is uni really worth it?
Ohh, Kurt, you obviously arent doing a communication major.
Didn't you read a word of my post?

You're right in that regard.

Just accept that you're debating with an idiot 20 year old who thinks he knows more than he does :p
And you are debating with w 40 something woman who has two degrees and three kids and often isn't sure what she knows:lol:

It's obviously about the high school cerificate, not certificate. Explaining jokes sucks.

I have been at uni for nearly a week and just a friendly word of advice to everyone, get a co-op membership, or buy second hand textbooks although you have to make sure that your course would be still using those. Textbooks are a necessary evil, they are heavy and they cost a lot but you need to have them


Also in my opinion philosophy is the best subject uni has to offer, even if they make you read The Illiad

In other breaking news - A Man has landed on the moon, WWII has been declared over and several rugby union players are breaking away to form their own code called "Rugby League"

I know!
I'm still yet to get my accounting textbook, anyone have any idea on how much that will set me back?
I have been told nothing at this stage.

it's a really long book and even the translation is hardly in english, but philosophy is a great subject, in today's tutorial our lecturer posed three questions to us the first 2 leading into third which asked "Was Odysseuss a complete bastard?"

Excellent.

Are you doing some sort of Greek philosophy course Halla? You should do logic, logic rules.

Philosophy? That's just for hippies. Do a real subject that can help you out in real life - like accounting for homosexual businesses.
