You should stop waiting for your own sanity.

Whilst I'm a Bulls fan, so many childhood memories came back today.

Thanks for the responses, all.

Hang in there Apey. Avoid my mistake of constantly changing my mind and never finishing anything and then family getting in the road leaving me essentially unqualified with a huge HECS debt. Get your degree, work for a few years and earn some good money, and use that to springboard into something you'd rather do.

Note that anyone who takes my advice probably deserves the outcome. ;-)

agree with Jason there apey.. Stick with it and just get it done..

hell, i think i actually worked in my degree related field for 6 months before realising i hated the industry and found myself something different..

and I'm pretty happy with how I've ended up.. And am doing a lot better than if I'd stayed with my degree..


what is it you are interested in?

Unfortunately this only my first semester, so although I understand sticking with it is probably the safest option, I'm not sure how long the good intentions will last.

Counsellor is a good idea. I'd encourage you to understand what you really want to do first and work out if there's a viable job should you get the degree. Work from there first. Then, if needed, change. You've only just started, so the chances to change are easier than later.

Its tough though mate. FB me if you need to chat.

Yeah I still honestly have no idea what I want to do. I think I need to travel/take a break from the mundane existence for a while or something; I have some money saved up. I've been thinking about it since I left highschool and I've still got nothin'.

Keep your chin up Apey, life is full of highs and lows everyone experiences this. With your Mathematics degree what career options are available that would suit you?

I majored in Pure Mathematics & Statistics. Pure Maths is mostly academia I believe, whereas obviously there is a variety of jobs for Statistics. However, the Statistics part of my degree was highly neglected due to general apathy and disinterest so I would never feel comfortable doing a high-end statistical job.

Maths teacher????

I started B. Maths/Teaching, I ended up leaving mostly due to anxiety problems, sigh. Maths tutoring is something I'm considering, though.

i can think of a couple...

but again, apey, don't stress too much about the degree you have.. just finish it off and move into something that suits what interests you.. for example i have a mate who was an IT geek, but found he enjoyed the dealing with people part more than the actual tech stuff..

so he found a role with a software company as a solutions consultant, where he did a lot of the customer facing stuff, and provided the brief to the tech guys to do the work..

the benefit of his background in IT means that he can actually do the consulting part of it really well as he 'gets' what needs to be done, so to speak..

I basically decided on IT over say S.Eng & Comp Sci because of the variety.

I know the bit about the frustration of not being able to get a job out of a degree.

I went into total bum mode in 2013. Just sat in my room playing video games mooching off my parents.

So true
