any 4 year university bachelor degree

ASIO

Australian Security Intelligence Organisation

http://www.asio.gov.au/

if you're exceptionally smart, looking for a challenge, don't have a problem with current governmental direction, then it could be for you..

but, if you're posting on this board, then maybe not ;)

btw. if you are thinking of it, you are not supposed to discuss it with anyone, including partners and family..

also you have to move to canberra for training :D

Actually, I'm working in the government at the moment for the *yawns in advance* tax department.

It's a half year contract though, and it's due to be ending this year but has been extended for a bit, but i'd rather know when i'm going rather than wait for it to happen.

Cheers for the advice though!!

And having a degree doesnt mean you'll get in, you have to fit their 'image' or so forth, and extenstive investigation into your life so far ie. ex girlfreinds may be terrorists or someshit.

As for me, I'm stuck in a rut, trying to get in fulltime employment in the hosp. industry doing anything. ie. kitchenhand or something, its fucking impossible to get anything decent when you can't use a phone *sigh* or have trouble conversing with bearded people. Oh well, end whinge.

yeah, def, but you have to have a degree minimum or work field equivalent..

also you have to not have any 'dodginess' in your past, acquaintances, family etc.. they check pretty thouroughly i've heard

haha i just remembered, i caught up with a friend today, she was telling me about her friends who are coming back to live in adelaide, the guy was Head Designer at LEGO! :D

so there are interesting jobs out there, but you got to find them and work on your natural skills and keep your mind open and creative.

Seriously guys - who cares?

Australia sucks at a lot of things - yet we have the technology and training that is easily to comparable to any country. It's not a debate over which is better, because each does different things, with different circumstances.

With that said, get off your pedestals and stop pretending to know more about something which no one really has 'inside' access to comment on!

So shake hands, and move on

haha that opens up a whole can o worms right there :|)

anyways, i'm 33 and partied for most of the 90's, a few people didn't make it out, but a lot did.

a lot of my raver friends used their experiences to live life better and find what they were truly good at and enjoyed and today most are happily employed in interesting jobs, or own their own businesses etc.. and these are the original early munters :D

funnily enough a lot of the girls went the corporate route, working for government ministers, design firms, city planning companies etc, more so than the guys :)

you just gotta keep learning, treat people fairly, keep searching til you find your niche, not get too lost in the lures of a night lifestyle.

stuff like that and you'll be good in the end ;)
