13g for fees for 5 years(first year is about 4) plus living costs if you need it?Originally Posted by ttmadness
I worked part time for most of it
You can get scholarships and stuff
While you get paid relatively well you definitely don't do it for the money, do dentistry if you want money!
My student loan doesn't bother me it's interest free

That is really nothing in the long term. I was under the impression it was enormous.

Na not really huh that's why I don't worry too much about it
A lot of the loan comes from living costs 150 a week to live off

Fuck .. why are you asking this bunch of fuck ups ???
I have no idea mate .. I've basically fallen into everything ... what I planned has screwed up and what I just fell into has worked out ...
I was 27 before I fell into my first real career ... (before that my "career" was loner 1%er ...) and 38 when I walked away from a current job - and fell into a new path ... and 50 when I made a "career decision" which was a big fuck up ... and now I'm working and doing something else ... at the age of 55 ...
I wouldn't do anything different - it's been rough at times .. but fuck I've had/am having a fucken fun life ...

No. Wellington holds all the cards in that arena.
If you are capable with maths, potentially there is massive scope in electrotechnology. Bikes and cars have stupendous amounts of electronics in them nowadays (you'd be surprised how much!) and that provides an interesting pathway for an interested person.

You are 21 and don't know what you want to do with your life! (you have been pretty busy getting to here)
I am 71 and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up! (could write a book on things I have done though)

You have already done more than most and done it well by the sound of things.
All you are wanting at the moment is a bit of direction.
If you are looking for a challenge in New Zealand, try management!
If ever there was a single thing lacking in this country, it is good "quality" managers!
Just be picky who you learn from, don't want just more of the same, do we!

Cost of producing a MD in NZ is just over $1M, so that's a bloody good deal.

Fcuk no wonder the gummint get a bit antsy when they bugger off overseas to avoid repaying a loan.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

Oh they contribute, on average almost $200k.
And they often come back fairly soon, it's not as green over there as it first appears, they've got to cover their own (huge) insurance costs, practicing licences are difficult to obtain, there's no sabatical leave, no free lunches, etc. etc.

probaby a bit biased but I have to put in a plug for IT as it seems to be the road paved with gold for me and quite a few others I know. It's really good because it's usually a strong requirement of lots of quite different businesses and even in economic downturn there still seems to be pretty reasonable demand for it. Also most to the tools and tech is similar if not the same around the world so you have plenty of scope to travel. I moved up jobs despite the recession. Most companies tend to offer good job security, wages and benefits. Which leaves you most finance and time to spend on the good stuff such as motorcycles
How you get there, well most of the vendors (e.g. Microsoft, Sun, Cisco) offer courses you can study up for from home, or there are courses at polytechs and universities. Personally I have a university degree, I think they have a higher level of difficulty but I don't know if I consider myself more advantaged than those who don't. University was good for me because it taught me a fair few other life skills, though it sounds like with your current experience you already have those. In your situation if you were interested, go with a vendor course.

I'm in contract network management, ie, companies pay another company to look after the network and everything that goes with it. Uni BCom gave me almost nothing and a BTech was focussed on math and physics. Industry experience over the same period of time has taught me far more valuable knowledge.
