Is this article really justified??? I mean, I agree with some of the comments that, its cheaper that USA/UK, but saying that the degree is not recognised would be a wrong. Or to say Aust. is big in tourism and nothing else. It%u2019s a small economy, but its growing very fast, and demand for professionals are increasing too. Speak to people in any industry, and they will tell you that they lack skilled people and particularly people who can take senior management roles. So don%u2019t think there is lack of opportunities. I have been here little more than 4 years, I did my BE civil from MIT Manipal, and then did ME const mgmt from uni of Swinburne, took me couple of months to find a job and I%u2019m doing just fine now. Its not just my story, lot of my mates who have studied in different field have managed to find jobs and settle here. Only thing one can probably say is, students gotta look out for courses they take. It really depends upon what one wants? Do you want to study and settle here, or go back, or maybe move to another country. Because some courses have more benefits (MODL) compared to others, when it comes to applying for permanent residence. I know Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, accountancy are all in MOD list. There would be few other courses, it%u2019s up to the students to find out and apply. They also should see how the job market is? Are there enough jobs in their field of interest? I suggest student not to believe totally what a consultant says/advices, do your independent research and then pick up the right course.
