The Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) has a new online calculator to help estimate costs for completing a university degree today. You can find it at www.asg.com.au and click on the calculator link. It can even take into account the differing costs for someone studying while living at home, or those moving out.
For someone living at home to become a teacher it is about $56,700. For a nurse it is $41,900. And for an Engineer it is $70,000.
Big numbers and that is only for the textbook learning you get in the lecture rooms.
Career success and career development is about making that investment work for you. And not leaving it until you leave to build on that investment.
It is imperative today that while you study you are getting practical work experience, building your network of contacts and learning from mentors and leaders in your field. This is what will see you move ahead and make the most of your tertiary study investment. Finding ways to bring your learning to life, put it into practice, see where it fits or where it doesn't. The responsibility of this lies with you as you are the CEO of your career.
So how are you making your University Investment work for you?
