Yeah maybe I shouldn't have... I just liked the idea that their parents didn't stress that they MUST get into x university. It would be so much more soothing to know your parents wouldn't mind you going to a lower ranking uni. In this case, I'm not even sure if I was talking to them or myself...

I still think about medicine from time to time, but I know I'd be better off doing something else

Thats fax right there. I'm not really a science guy anyway, so even if I theoretically get 99+ ATAR, my life's gonna feel incomplete doing a job solely because of the money rather then the interest I have for many other jobs. Medicine is one of the only fields where I'd do it solely for money -...

What degree are you studying rn if you don't mind me asking?

Being a doctor is kinda scary. If you become a surgeon, you earn buttloads of money, but you're patients life is in your hands which would worry me a lot knowing myself

Haha, glad to know it isn't just me

I feel like I'm in that period where I keep switching what I want to be if yk what I mean. It seems childish, and I realise that, but right now, I'm quite into Engineering, a few weeks ago it was Lawyer, in the holidays it was an Actuary. So honestly, I'm baffled right now regarding what I want...

They said the usual. Pick subjects you can study for hours, subjects you think you can enjoy. They also said if you don't do a subject listed as assumed knowledge for a degree you want to do, bridging courses are available.

Anyone else on the UNSW y10 Info Evening? I feel like some info is good, but they're repeating stuff a lot, whether its stuff from earlier in the presentation or things teachers/parents etc say to us

Judging by what they said, they probably didn't want to pressure you too much. From just what you said, they're really good parents

Also, I don't think they'd be too pissed if I do another course, as long as it has a good job market and has prestige in society if you get that. They do care about what Uni I go to though, Education has always been the first of my family's priority

I honestly don't mind engineering. I've really been talked up about engineering/medicine my whole life, and I really enjoyed Tech Mandatory, especially Wood and Metal. I think I'd make a good engineer, it's just that that's what I've always been pressured to do for the future

They'd disown me if I don't get into USyd, UNSW or UTS. UNSW last preference, cos they have a grudge against UNSW for whatever reason, even though they want me to do Engineering lmao

Hopefully Normanhurst thinks the same and takes me (joke)
