now all done, i'm enrolled into Mac Eng

[hidepenny]

I'm in the IT industry, and not thinking to change my career but out of my interests

i wana do a diploma of the following:
electrical / machnical engineering / flooring / carpentering / plumbing

simply because i can't enroll myself to any automotive courses buecasue that require full time commiment and some apprenticeship

and i don't wana do short courses because it'll be very basic, so, what should i do

the course is starting in 2 weeks!! and i haven't enrolled into anything yet

[Lainie]

ummm some people u just can't please The short course is better than knowing nothing at all. If you do one of them then move to advanced I am sure if you contact the TAFE they will give you further deatils.

You know the story about the cake

[Jonno]

mechanical or electrical engineering is good, hope your mathematics is up to scratch. You can get work anywhere

How much approximately do these courses cost ?

I have always wanted to certify for piloting small planes, but it costs $8k

i have done some short courses before and just thought they didn't help at all when it comes to prac, i mean i rather do a thorough course and then get a diploma which may be one day i'll be able to use.

Do mechanical engineering, I think geeks need more mechanical knowledge

[wisc]

electrical! we can never have enough sparkies, once you learn electricity you can carry it over a wide range of stuff.

you only said mechanical because your dads a sparkie and he does everything for you so you have no need to know it ross..
if not id do a building course, ive seen a fair few people do amazing renovations on there own place with the right knowledge. Some of the stuff they build is amazing.
