I dont really know about the education system there.I was the same at school i didnt want to be there most of my friends left in yr 10 but i wasnt allowed.I finished and got a job as a trainee dental assistant/hygienist.I did that for5 a few yrs and finished the course was ok.I never wanted to go to uni i cant justify paying $50,000 for a year at university even though there is a hecs fee so it dont need to be payed until your earing over 40,000 a year.The things that i love and wanted to learn i had to pay big money for but the other (more important things) through tertiary and further education is the best way to go.It probably only costs $600 per year for whatever u want to do.There is just about every course imaginable and heaps of trade courses like chef or electrical engineer whatever.I became a qualified aromatherapist,cert 1,2 &3 fine arts,dental course and im about to apply for a course called artistic welding i hope i get in there are no formal entry requirements for that course as its a pre trade course.
jacquelyne Reviewed by jacquelyne on . Advice? Well... This school year is almost over (I am a junior) and I am doing horribly. I think that I am failing like 3 or 4 classes- Im not dumb or anything, I just have a very hard time paying attention and my mind just wanders (even when I go to class with the mind-set that I am going to focus and do my work). I do wonderfully on tests but I just dont do classwork or homework. I recently was put on an attendance contract since I skipped like 32 days, which means I have to go the rest of the year. Rating: 5
