Because they're not psychic. And if they told you 'you'll be fine' it would be incredibly irresponsible .

I dropped out of an IT course because I sucked at it and ended up in a graphic design course. Success is a journey, not a destination.

ATAR is the best thing Australia has come up with /s
flygonbreloom
I'm somewhat unashamed to admit that I somehow scored a lower ATAR. But a fair chunk of it is that I simply stopped caring in my final years

Congrats and you have awesome hair
Phoebethefetus
Thank you!

Congrats. I, too, have recently overcome adversity.

As a guy who went thru the same thing, but without ADHD and finishing high school with 90% A's, this made me happy to see.

Fabulous work!

Australia? You look young for dyslexia not to have been identified during your education. Not saying bullshit, must have been a shit school

It's a Bachelor of Arts, though.
EveryoneIsABitGay
I have a Ba(Hons) and Ma, and earn $75k+ in a relevant field with under 10 years experience (and still climbing). Hardly a dead end.
ThePwnzor
not only that, its a BA in communication
Nutkin
What is the Art of communications?
Phoebethefetus
Basically its things like; PR, Film Making, Politics, Journalism etc. Careers that lead you to be at the forefront of communication
SirAvocadoMan
Which do you intend to follow through with? I'm only asking because through high school I've taken media and journalism classes and I'm
SirAvocadoMan
interested in some perspective.
Phoebethefetus
At the moment I'm specialised in the PR field and dable in film making
Phoebethefetus
97 ATAR entry degree, though
dadofboobs
Uts gives 10-15 bonus ATAR though. Again its UTS, go to UNSW and usyd can confirm it's harder. You paid 30k for insearch and it's arts.
jacsonp
70k straight out of uni for me with a BA- Coms. I'm content
Phoebethefetus
Sadly, i didn't get into any uni even with bonus points. It doesn't matter which uni or course is harder, i'm doing what i love
governmentgavemeagun
Nobody knows what that means outside your home state.
Phoebethefetus
Couldn't that be said for every country?
governmentgavemeagun
Sure. From TV I know SAT & GPA are important for US, but I don't know what is a good score. Others? Uh, does UK still have A- or O-levels?

But she did her bachelor of arts, so.... you'll probably be able to find her working at Starbucks. Happy hunting.
Phoebethefetus
Already been offered grad programs thanks
harles2000
And good job overcoming your obstacles. Seriously. As an undiagnosed adhd kid (we were just bad students back in the early 80's), congrats.

Bet that's not all you've been offered after posting this. Wink
Phoebethefetus
*sigh* unfortunately
TheForerunner
That's what you get for being ridiculously good looking and somewhat similarly to a popular actress that lots of internet ppl have boners 4
harles2000
That's awesome. Just poking a little fun. My degree is technically arts too, even though it's IT/business based
Phoebethefetus
Haha all g. Just had an inflex of rude people so sorry for the sass. That's awesome!

Congrats friend.

I would have fought other kids to sit next to you

That's really why the parents didn't wanting their kids sitting next to her. Who wouldn't be distracted?
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
Cause she's pretty, right?
boodloop
No, bc adhd people are my jam
CrazyWithPower
No, because I also have dyslexia, dysgraphia and ADHD and it would have been awesome to sit next to someone who understands how its like

Nothing wrong with using naysayers as a reason to persevere. But when you succeed, be classy about it. A gloating post shows poor character.

Beauty and brains? So.. you're not single. Congrats on the hardwork @OP!!

Was snapped up a few years ago haha. Thank you!

“Bachelor of Arts in Communication” Brains is debatable.

dick comment
Souljah42
Oh your far superior brain doesn't approve of her accomplishments
LordSupergreat
I don't know, I think a dyslexic person getting a communications degree is a pretty nice accomplishment.
BlastFX
Accomplishment, yes, of course. Quite a big one. But it doesn't change the intrinsic value of a communications degree.
Phoebethefetus
Thanks! Comms degrees in Australia have a 97 ATAR or Distinction GPA entry. PR major will get you an average a 70k uni leavers salary.
BlastFX
For your sake I hope that's true. Where I live there are many more PR majors than there are open PR positions.
Barrum
I don't even know what half of those disorders mean. Actually, literally half, of the four I don't know what dysgraphia or dyscalculia mean
WildHummi
Dysgraphia results in bad handwriting and drawing. Discalcula is difficulty with numbers/caculations. (going off memory, i could be wrong)
Phoebethefetus
A+ :D
Phoebethefetus
Dysgraphia is a disorder with written expression and Dyscaluila affects mathematical development and understanding :)
LateNightBunnyParty
Dyscalculia is like dyslexia, but with numbers/math. I have it and it sucks. I can barely read the hands on a clock, and still...
Dontyoudaremister
Hmm I have all these issues... well
LateNightBunnyParty
Couldn't hurt to get tested.
LateNightBunnyParty
...use my fingers to do simple math. I get lost driving to places I've been a hundred times, and get confused counting money. Other than...
LateNightBunnyParty
...my math issues, though, I consider myself of at least average intelligence. ::shrug::

What are you planning on doing with an Arts degree in Communications? ♀️
Phoebethefetus
I majored in Pubic Relations, so hoping to go into that field :)

The pubic relations field, eh? Don't you mean bush?

Phoebethefetus
Never give up on your dreams! You will do amazing things. Best of luck :)
audioknob
Tbh... I don't know what my dreams are... I know one thing I want to do, but costs heaps... And nobody takes the ideas seriously.
Phoebethefetus
You should look on Linkedin and forums and survey your target audience and hopefully your idea will be able to grow to a reality :)

At the moment I have the option of going to do grad work or going on to do my honours. Not sure which to choose though

I’m currently in making 72k/year. Thats a reason I’m scared to get out. Starting school and starting over doesn’t seem fun.

I don’t blame you. 72k ain’t bad and I’m sure there’s opportunity for you to move up at some point

I mean, congrats, but isn't the whole goal of uni to have perspectives, not to have a high starting wage? I know I'll start out lower than
Risqie
Actually started out at 12.50/hr. My performance review went so well i got a promotion.
shhep
my friends by being an uni assistant, but with degrees, I'll get paid more than majority of them, while doing sth I love. That's the goal.
maxalaxa
The way I see it is you'll never love anything that makes you leave your bed everyday but you can hate it a lot less than other stuff
biggestred
Lol never have I known someone to choose a degree path based on perspective. The question is always "what's starting salary?"
thrymn
I'd like to point out most people are idiots.
shhep
Uh, what? You do know how abysmal starting wages for doctors are? And how incredibly crazy their hours are? Same for lawyers, unless you

have a reserved job in a good firm (by networking/connections), you'll be earning very little, but after few years, you'll climb.

You're doing well! I never finished highschool either and I'm on about 60k per year. The sky's the limit :)

Aside from a few important majors, college is a waste of money, possibly with the exception of something cheap like community college.
