Question:

The cost of University Education continues to increase. This includes increases in course fees, rent, and HECS fees. Continuing inflation is likely to add to these costs. It is becoming unaffordable for many who are now looking for careers based on qualifications from other sectors such as TAFE. A University degree was considered to offer better career prospects and higher salary.

Do you think this is still true for you?  Knowing what you do now would you have made a different career choice or is your passion for research more important?

Honest disclosure: These days it is tempting to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an easy way to respond to our Award questions. The spirit of science is based on honesty and inventiveness. We want you to respond in this spirit. However, if AI is used in any way, then as a budding scientist you know that you should provide clear attribution.
