I mean, there are a lot of ways to make money... some of them might interest you a lot more than accounting hahaha.
Throw a couple out...
I'm a numbers guy at heart, I like computers and would like to know more about programming, and that's about it...
Where can i go from there??

If you like computers, I'd strongly encourage you to explore that more. Computer skills are the future - and if you go onto seek.com.au and look for "joks paying over 150k", you'll notice thousands in the computer science section - compared to hundreds in med/law, compared to tens in other industries. Pretty compelling.

There's a couple of barriers in that path though...
No.1 is my parents; they aren't really supportive of a future in IT/Computer work...
No.2 is that although I like computers, I'm  not really that good on them...
I mean, I can batch script a fake virus, but that's about the limit of my technical expertise... :(

Always better late than never. ;) 20 hours straight is impressive as - what was the motivation? Hahaha.


i want a cool answer but honestly? it was the day after (or of? heck.) last year's formal afterparty lmao.

#1: double degree? (:
#2: surely that's what you'd study to learn? haha. (: do what you like, not what you think will earn you the most money.

1. I'm sure they'd come around if you showed them the huge proportion of 150k+ jobs LOL. If parents were going to "come around" to anything, it would be IT, once they were presented with good research. Besides, your parents aren't always going to be as dominant a force in your life as they are right now!
2. Michael Phelps couldn't swim once. Computers aren't a thing humans are "good at" or "bad at" - they didn't exist for 99.99% of our entire existence! Rather, they're just something we learn and practice. If you can script something - that's great. I don't even know what scripting is. So you're clearly better than me. I've met some pretty talented developers who were only doing it for a few years really full on. Even if you started pottering around right now, that's 2 years before you start uni, another 3-4 years in uni - for a total of 5-6 years of learning before you even go for an entry level job! Don't discount it just because you're not good at it right now :)

How was WonderWoman, btw, patriciarose?

Yeah...

I guess it comes with the age... :)

i'm seeing it friday! (was going to be a reward for finishing the gat and lit and legal sacs this week, now it's more of a reason to live, but hey, whatever works!) it looks actually amazing though and we never get female-driven superhero movies?! so tbh i'm prematurely dead, and that bodes well! if it's good i'll never shut up about it since i'm honestly living for this atm, haha. and on that note, if anyone's seen/seeing it and wants me to screech in their inbox, i ?? yes.

Hahaha absolutely hectic. I reckon the longest I've slept consecutively is probably like 16 hours. Were you actually sort of groggy when you woke?

Hahahahaha. I love that attitude! Any idea what you want to do after Year 12, or is that just an annoying question rn? ;)

For most it is lol. We're struggling our way through Yr 12 to get to somewhere we dont even know D: I've got trials in 5 weeks and HSC not long after and I've got no idea of the course I want to do.

Woo!
