From the lay of the posts here, the majority of uni people who frequent the QGL forums seem to all be doing some kind of IT course. Is there anyone here going to uni who isn't?

Yeah I do music. Yes IT people are wimpy - every fag and his dog does IT not cos "it is the worlds fastest growing field" or some s***. Lemme hear you all say "Baaaaaaaa" - thats right cos you are all sheep. Make life interesting and do something that isn't completely f***ing boring like IT, specially when you are only doin it so you are "guaranteed a job"...

I'm doing Education (Primary teaching), so i suppose i'm almost "guaranteed a job", but it'll prolly be out west somewhere in a one teacher school, oh well.

That is cool man. That would be a real rewarding job and you are only guaranteed a a job cos most ppl can't handle that line of work. It will be a good challenge - good luck d00d. :)

Dog: I found it way to theoretical with not enough emphasis on practical hands on stuff

might have been a totally dud selection of subjects on my behalf.

I think its funny though them trying to plan out a 3 year course in an area that is a) radically growing and b) mostly obsolete in 6 months anyway

I might write something a bit more comprehensive than this later, its always something that I've wanted to write aobut

Electrical engineering / computer systems engineering at UQ rocks you.

Trog; that would be because all IT subjects at UQ are GHEYSECHS (ignoring the full practical one run by the electrical engineer).

That, and IT at UQ is 4 years now old man >:)

All you guys who are going to Uni to get practical experience in the current technologies are going for the WRONG REASONS!!!! Uni has never been about that, take Law, you need a Law degree and then you need another course after that to actually be able to practice as a barrister. Medicine, you aren't a real doctor until your residency out in the field is finished etc etc, the list goes on.

Uni is supposed to be about teaching you how to think for yourself so that you can keep up to speed and relevant in your field. If a Uni course was supposed to keep you up with the "next big thing" in IT, then you would never graduate!

Oh, and another thing, Electrical Engineering sucks the big one, so long as we are talking about Electrical, not Electronic (which is mildly interesting). As a 2 year veteran of E Eng/IT double degrees, I can say that IT is a far better choice.

Anarot, I think you'll find that most of us are in IT because we have been good at it from an early age, i've been around (and programming ;) since BASIC on the Apple 2e, so it was a logical choice. The fact that it's the big thing at the moment (and will be for a while from what I can see) is neither here nor there. We are mostly in it because we love it. If you are in it for the money, I pity you, it's a s*** profession in that case.

Finally, Neff, what's wrong with Java?

My Guidance Counsellor told me that being a Goverment Assassin would be a hard career to get involved in, and that he advised against it. So I stabbed him with a pen.

My experience with electrical engineering and maths at QUT is that, the engineering side are a bunch of unorganised retards, science would have to be the most organised out of all the faculties. I've only done one IT subject, so I can't really comment on them, but they seem better than engineering.

But it is nearly all theory, which is kind of gay.

Oh and I didn't read the whole thread, and if this has nothing to do with it, you can suck my balls.
