Got me a Bachelor of Business w/ major in Banking and Finance. I think the "new" terminology is Applied Finance.

Real 'life of the party' stuff there... and dont the chicks love it!!

"Hey, want me to diversify your portfolio? Or maybe we can discuss risk management over dinner?" lol.

Nah, all jokes aside - it's put me in pretty good stead. Should have HECS cleared before im 28.

LOL, My first love was Mechanical Engineering, made it into second year at UNSW but then came thermodymanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics and engineering design. Too many moments of inertia and angular acceleration and blah blah blah. I became a high school teacher. Have you heard the saying "those who can't do teach" ??
They keep sending us on courses, you see.

Bachelor of Computer and Information Science from the Uni of SA.
Got the Diploma as well, but the degree sort of cancels that out.

Plenty of other training courses as paid for by work.

Certificates 2,3,4, Diploma in Website Manangement + Administration. Pretty much covers everything you need to know to become a webmaster. Also covered a certificate 3 in Networking Management.

Certificate 3,4 in Business Management + Administration which was paid for by my work. No idea why I did it but at least its another plastic sleeve filled in the CV.

For those who have completed an IT course at University, is there a lot of programming in the courses because that's one thing I can't do.
thanks.

Yeah, now I sit in front of a computer and draw pictures all day (AutoCAD). I've forgotten most of the advanced mathematics, physics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, dynamics etc as I havent used them since I graduated. And that was only 5 years ago.

I wouldn't have the guts to teach. I have greatest respect for teachers, seems like a tough job.
BTW the senior engineer at work is an ex high school maths teacher. I dont think there is anything maths related that he doesn't know off the top of his head, or so it seems anyway.
