| 82878 | 2002-09-25 07:13:00 | Almost... BSurv(Hons) 3 weeks to go!!!. Had the surveying vs. no. of jobs discussion on previous thread. Surveying will take me to $45k after 2 1/2 to 3yrs upon which I plan to jump ship to the UK where pay rates are similar. 2yrs and 30% of my pay having been sent back later (so approx $90-100k NZ) I will use my surveying industry skills to chop up NZ's lovely farmland into tiny 1/4 acre blocks and make a killing. Retire by age 35 :) (currently 20) Had plans to do a double degree in Bsc Computing, BUT a tasty job offer in AKLD, and a general lack of enthusiasm about another two years at school (currently have been at some school or other for 16 concurrent years) changed my mind.

| 82879 | 2002-09-25 07:41:00 | For some strange reason even though the work I have done the most is technical I have no qualifications of any sort (not even School C). In case you wonder I am a Director of Photography for Multi-Camera TV productions and I do Sound/Lighting/Management of Bands (bugger all now I am over 40 :D ). I now build/repair/upgrade PC's from home (for the last 2-3 years) and how I know I am good at it is I get the jobs nobody else wants and once I have built/repaired/upgraded a PC thats the last I ever see of it. Its not because the owner goes elsewhere it just they do not fail after I finish with them. It would be nice to get the pieces of paper but its expensive and "word of mouth" seems to work fine. |

| 82880 | 2002-09-25 07:55:00 | Coming to the end of second year for Bachelor of Engineering majoring in Software Eng at Massey Palmerston North. That's a 4 year course. Sometime might do MSCE or similar type certifications... Got a grade 1 for 6th form computer studies when I was 5th form, and top of class in 7th form comp studies when I was 6th form. Everything else is kinda irrelevent, passed all school C, 6th for cert and bursary stuff.... |

| 82881 | 2002-09-25 09:11:00 | Very interesting reading. Folk posting here have one thing in common - they simply enjoy computing or perhaps the challenge that computing can have. Sometimes it is because one can't figure something out and need more help than simply reading the manual, but more often because it isn't in the manual in the first place - the real curly ones !! If your question refers to this no qualifications apply, you know what you are on about. HOWEVER, if you are looking to the future for career/employment the folk that are going to employ you want a piece of paper. Now very often it could be a degree in ancient Sanskrit and it wouldn't matter, you still have the bit of paper !! Not terribly fair but who says life is fair ? If you want the "good job" (money ?) - get your piece of paper that says you can do whatever you want to do - you should then be able to do it and get suitable recompense. Sorry if that sounds too much like 'fatherly advice' but I really have been around long enough to know it is true. Incidently have a few degrees in medicine, the odd piece of paper in electronics, Japanese and off to do something else at Auckland University next year. Remember, you are never to old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| 82882 | 2002-09-25 09:45:00 | I spent far too much time hanging out listening to great music in Dunedin band venues such as the Captain Cook, Empire The Euro and Sammies, to learn anything scholarly. Now that I am approaching my 50s its too late to study for any kind of qaulification. But I run my own very small signwriting business, have two great kids from a former marriage and I enjoy my life to the maxx. BALDY:-) John Grieve: Did you live in Dunedin at one stage and go out with a lady by the name of Liz McN ? |
