    Pppffttt... wait till they get to high school.

    optimus1: Don't worry, most kids are manageable if you know what you're doing. I won't name the school, but my first year of teaching was at arguably one of the toughest schools in Sydney and yet I was still able to enforce discipline and order amongst my students by the end of my tenure there. Feel free to ask me about it or anything else about teaching either in private or IRL at future fan meets.

    Training Co-ordinator(Conveyor belt Splicing, Rubber Lining, Pulley and Roller lagging(Industrial rubber)), I either organise training for people or train them myself. I might be changing jobs at the end of the year and go working on the mine sites but this will mean going backwards as far as positions go. I'd be working getting dirty again, the good thing is you start on about 120K and go up, I have heard of one of the older Supervisors I used to work with being offered 250K but he didn't take the job as he is retiring at the end of the year.

    Another uni bum here. PhD student in Maths and sessional academic for the department. My research was done a while back but am still writing up the thesis. Basically given the current week's Australian wool auction data I'm now able to predict (pretty accurately) the prices and outcomes of next week's auctions. Plus I can generate pretty charts and pictures for farmers to understand. I'm a VERY slow writer and too easily distracted by stuff (like this forum). Since my industry scholarship ran out in July, I've been living on a temporary lecturer position within the department. Will be unemployed for a few months as soon as the current semester's teachings are over (like in 2 weeks...) Guess I won't be buying new TFs for a couple of months. Am likely to continue as a lecturer for the department next year or do a postdoc somewhere.

    Do you think I actually focussed on work at Uni? Are you insane?

    Mate, It was all about the girls ! In my tute alone, There were about 25 of us in total & about 85% of them were girls! (& there was this one time in 2nd year when there were 2 Swedish girls in one of our subjects... Man, that was a great subject for us guys but you wouldn't believe the level of b#%@$iness in that room... )
