In my experience the root cause of this is management, who don’t allow enough design iterations especially when the design nears completion. If they did, real world feedback could be factored into the design.

As someone who studied at both Uni and TAFE, these are both pretty accurate characterisations.

The majority of my uni classmates are all dumb as rocks and im honestly surprised they are surviving an engineering degree. No surprise about the horrible designs, but most cases the designs might still look tedious despite who made it, you gotta keep in mind that engineers tend to see the design and design only.

I remember having to drive down to UOW after my day at Granville Tafe to help my sister move a mattress, cabinet and bed frame out of her dorm. The looks I got from the students there when I rocked up in my high vis, slides and Edgewater Homes hat (covered all in dried up mud, you know, bricklaying) were as if I had horns growing out my head. You definitely get looked down on by Uni students but as Shak pointed out, they’re spending another 4-8 years of education to struggle to get work plus being hexed up to the eyeballs in debt while we only do 4 years and afterwards we’ll be making more cash than they ever will.

"I fix the car, and you write essays about it" That statement is 100% accurate, and then the Uni student is going to spend the next 10+ years paying off student debt😂😂😂.

[@OMGLittleB]

for a non stem major sure, mechanical and electrical... really any engineering degree would get that debt out of the way pretty fast and secure a 70-120k salary job as a graduate (mainly mechanical and electrical). Take a look at most CEOs', they all have bachelors or masters in the field they are in.

[@Triple_A_679]

​@@OMGLittleB Unfortunately, the dream of becoming a CEO is overshadowed by the harsh reality for many who have realized that accumulating debt for a seemingly promising degree leads to a futile outcome. Many individuals, including myself as an Electrical Engineer, have been compelled to transition into roles like Computer Science to secure higher salaries for faster debt repayment. It's essential to confront this truth and reassess the statistics, acknowledging the widespread challenges faced by those navigating the complexities of higher education and its financial implications. However, it's important to recognize that this path may not be suitable for everyone, and alternative routes to financial stability should be explored and supported.

[@Triple_A_679]

@@OMGLittleB that's funny, most CEO's nowadays of big Telco company or Airlines do not even have a qualifications from the related field, they more like came from business environment, Warehouse Team Leaders and Managers are getting that same salaries you've mentioned which is dwarf in amount that a licensed sparky make🤣🤣, I was an EE major who switched to Computer Science on the 2nd year, the salary isn't worth wrecking your brains for 4 years or getting into ridiculous amount of debt for.

[@OMGLittleB]

@@Triple_A_679 Ridiculous debt that takes 3 years to pay off isn't ridicules. An electrician 1st year fully qualified will make less than an EE if domestic compared to 1st year graduate, industry is around 100-100k, the only way a 1-2 year fully qualified electrician is making 150-200k would depends on the site, industry, night shift, long hours, OT and site allowance.

As someone who's been to both TAFE and Uni, for IT related degree/diploma, I found I learned far more at TAFE than Uni. It's hands on at TAFE so we were always in front of a computer, instead of listening to a lecturer drone on about theory.

[@Waywind420]

There's an Advanced Diploma of Electrical Engineering that is FREE at TAFE that takes 2 years to complete. 2 year diploma + zero debt + 2 years work experience + 200k gross earnings *vs* 4 year engineering degree + $60,000 debt + 0 work experience + 0 gross earnings An *Advanced Diploma is AQF Level 6* whereas a *Bachelor Degree is AQF Level 7* so quite often they are interchangeable for job roles. Given the changing job market and AI era we're in, I think the Diploma's make sense.

[@fablearchitect7645]

Engineering Bachelor Degrees are 3 years not 4. 4 year engineering degrees are a Bachelor Honours Degree which is AQF level 8

With anything music/ art related it is far better to go to a uni then not to because when you’re getting cast for anything, no one gives a flying fuck about experience.

Honestly it depends on the TAFE campus location and what it is they're doing (especially what field) as to what it's like and whether you find those people LOL. If it's certs, you get brain-dead people no matter what ATO you go through. I'm doing an IT diploma at TAFE atm in the city, and it's poorly designed enough that none of us have time to work or sleep much outside study because the assignments are so long, and the course is far too crammed in order to make it only 1 year long. The grading system for the diplomas is rough too, you have to get every single thing correct in order to pass (tho you get 2 attempts). Might as well be in uni because the workload seems worse compared to my uni friends, and there's mature aged students in the class who've done uni degrees before and also say the workload is insane. But at least we get more hands-on experience, less debt, and take less time to do it 😅
