I bought my first house when I was 21. Bit late to the party weren't you? A five-year old could've bought property from his pocket money in Oz 25-30 years ago. Guess your paper round didn't pay much back then, huh? Houses have always been relative to income but I was earning over $10,000 USD a month cash in the '80's most people are struggling to earn that now.

Either you do a degree or you work and go to college part time and do different papers which can bring you up to degree level. This system is normal in the Armed Forces and heavy industry. Employers know what's what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATF Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 SoiBiker, on 19 Jan 2015 - 08:55, said:And people with real degrees know the difference. Bikey employers would always prefer to employ someone that has worked since 16 and studied rather than someone who just popped out of university in their 20's with zero practical experience. Unless they are looking for someone specific like a specialized designer. Seems like your degree is working well for you keeping you in the lap of unbridled luxury.

Clearly you know nothing about any of the professions or the courses, and the career opportunities that are available worldwide. I certainly don't know of any 2 year degree in any of those professions, in fact most are 4 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
