It is the season of university open days and study decisions for Year 12 students. As an academic, the question I get asked most by students and parents is, “will this degree lead to a job?”. It is understandable. However, it isn’t necessarily the right question to ask as young people consider what course will suit them best. Focusing solely on immediate job prospects (“degree equals job”) can limit the understanding of what university courses actually provide, explains Cherine Fahd from University of Technology Sydney.

You are working long hours, being repeatedly rostered to work weekends and are increasingly anxious and unhappy in your job. Enough’s enough, you decide to quit, but your boss won’t let you. The ABC’s Four Corners program presented this scenario as part of an investigation called “Don’t Speak” into alleged bullying of staff at the Seven Network, which screened on Monday night. The woman who reportedly experienced this, told a colleague she felt like “I had a noose around my neck”. She also said she tried to quit, but “they won’t let me go”. So can an employer reject a resignation and what are your legal rights when it comes to quitting a job? Joellen Riley from University of Technology Sydney explains your rights.
‘They won’t let me go’. Can your boss stop you from resigning?

"Will this degree lead to a job?" It's a question Cherine Fahd from University of Technology Sydney gets asked at every single university open day. But if you're considering some further study, or if you're supporting your teen to make some big choices, there are better questions to ask like: ❓ What skills will I develop in this program? (Creativity? Research skills? Critical thinking?) ❓Are there opportunities for practical experience? (Are there internships or workshops?) ❓Will the course expose me to diverse cultural contexts? (Will students get to travel?) ❓What have recent graduates done with this degree? For the full list of Cherine Fahd's suggested questions and her reasons why, head to our website.

Surfing is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports and one of the latest additions to the Olympic games. Surfing is especially valuable to Australia. New research from Ana Manero at The Australian National University shows surf-related expenditure contributes nearly A$3 billion to the Australian economy every year. And the mental health benefits to Australian surfers are in the order of $6 billion a year. Yet many surf breaks are subject to coastal erosion, water pollution and other threats. It’s vital to recognise and measure the true benefits of surfing in dollar terms, so decision-makers realise it makes sense to invest in protecting Australia’s surf breaks.
Save our waves: surfing pumps $2.71 billion into the Australian economy and boosts wellbeing
