mormreed 0 Posted August 16, 2007 lol McDonalds, eh better than no job, so anyways I'm just kind of applying everywhere because I need a job desperately if I want to get anything soon, a Kohls and a Best Buy and a Sports Authority are going up soon and I'm so desperate I might apply at Kohls (giant clothing store) Share this post Link to post
TheBlackOut 7 Posted August 16, 2007 I've heard KOHLS actually pays okay. Going to work with my dad off and on is enough with school. He's a masonry and works with brick, stone, etc for pools and walls. Share this post Link to post
Alphabear 11 Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah me too. But I do some temp work too, like forklift driving, distribution, some data entry crap, other lame IT things from time to time. Anything to get by really. Government pays my living costs. I get both scholarship money and living away from home/study costs money from Centerlink (Australian welfare department) Share this post Link to post

They even call some colleges here universities! There are a few differences between a college and a university though. Share this post Link to post
Doctor Destiny 41 Posted August 17, 2007 Not enough to really call it a difference. Universities have more big lecture halls... that's about it really. Share this post Link to post
Alphabear 11 Posted August 17, 2007 Colleges usually only offer undergraduate courses and are more focused on teaching where as Universities are usually larger and focus more on research and cater for graduate courses as well as undergraduate Share this post Link to post
VampireA05 0 Posted August 17, 2007 here college & uni almost the same. both sometimes offer diploma & degree. i'm might continue my study in next 3 years time. in malaysia, there's no grade thingy...so its difficult to guess your age.. here, standard 1 - 6 is 7 - 12 yrs. form 1 - 5 is 13 - 17yrs. lower 6 - upper 6 is 18 - 19. afterward is certs/diploma then degree. mine just certs.
