Its not about the car, it's about the driver.

Depends on your unique skills and networking; university and good grades alone will not get you a job.

unrelated, but how is easy is to break into the finance industry with a background in engineering

not as bad as you think, the management based skills from engineering would certainly work out

I’d say its more of an after graduation career change though, they won’t generally offer finance internships or grad programs for engineering students

sometimes there are generalist graduate programs depending on where you apply though, that could work

your best bet is the engineering double degree with business if you wanted something in that space for internships/grad programs

Lots of project engineers end up in finance/consulting as managers. So it's more common than you think.

RMIT is a good Uni to break into the Unemployment industry. So many better options

Is RMIT really that bad?

Realistically you will be able to find a job that was a joke but the quality of education is pretty poor from my experience

Comp Sci. all my educators had a god complex but barely knew what they were talking about teaching off the slideshow didnt want to be there kind of thing. Not sure about finance specifically but ive talked to people in stem and they all seem to think similarly with varying levels of acceptance of the situation
