careers

in a recent post [i think it was sgt l's] the topic of proffesions and things were brought up,i made this forum a long time ago and thought i might bring it up again as the site is starting to get a lot more people attached to itself.i find it hard to catch up with people when i can't remember what they're up to,so if anyone would like to tell us what they're doing and where they're going it'd be nice and i think it would give us as users/admin/druids a better understanding of what types of people actually frequent this site.

i for one think this could either go well,or go to really really badly,like the first time i tried this,but anywayi'll get the ball rolling.

right now i'm in my 2nd year studying advertising at AAA in Cape Town,it's a 3 year course.

So I get to be the first person to reply with a job? Cool!! Wink

I am a business analyst for the finance projects department of a rather large American bank. This can be interpreted as I hold the bean counter's hands and occasionally wipe their butts when a new process or program is implemented... so I'm an accountant's butt wiper!

The good part about my job is the tiny bit at the beginning of any project where we decide on how to solve the problem - unfortunately this doesn't last long enough and eventually I'm back to the hand holding.

Re: careers

dude suck it. mum did 6yrs (hungary) and got a doctorate for it (MD). Dad did 5 and that includes his masters (hungary) (engineer) in Oz 3yrs for a basic science/arts etc degree 4yrs for combined. I'm at uni for 5yrs and at the end of that time I'll have a bachelor Scinece, bachelor Arts and diploma of education.

unless a diploma is higher than just having finished a basic level of uni. cos here there is diploma which is not so good. Bachelor which means you succesfully completed the course/s, honours meansyoiu stayed on longer to do a small thesis say 4yrs not 3. Masters is even better and is a bigger thesis and then there's your PhD or DPhil in Oxford which is you doctorate.
