Marketable to certain folks. Other folks either won't care, or will select against it. It's also not a question of general marketability, it's marketability vs other options divided by relative costs in money and time of undertaking the program.

I'm currently a year off the grad program at my firm. I want to be partner one day, but it's so far in the future it's basically meaningless viz decision making at this stage.

What country are you in now? I'm not across the distance education options in Aus, but most of the schools have a decent Bio program. I know Charles Sturt has a big distance education program, and Macquarie might as well.

One of the peculiar things, IMO about online dating, is that (once you're excollege and not meeting new people all the time) even if you're not really into it, you basically HAVE to do online dating. The pool of people trying to date without online dating is so small that you're unlikely to...

I wouldn't say that's a slippery slope - it's a valid pile of sand argument. If sentience is a property obtained by crossing a (volume) threshold of some kind, then the choice of where that threshold lies can essentially be arbitrary. See, for example, the successive redefinitions we've used...

Can someone trade me a Speed Boost female Torchic/Combusken/Blaziken? Beneficial nature/IVs desirable but not required. Alternatively, happy to trade for a Female Speed Boost Torchic Egg. I'm looking to trade it over to ORAS when I pick it up.

I wouldn't describe the described activities as necessarily paedophilic given his age, but they are in all cases inappropriate and in some cases illegal. However, those types of facebook messages in contexts where they're not appropriate are red flags that he may end up sexually abusive. Lots...

The effect has only been demonstrated in African countries with little to no hygiene. In the west, no such results have been shown, Jewish Conspiracy or no Jewish Conspiracy. I'm cut because I got an infection when I was a kid. I think the "documented medical benefits" is baloney in the US -...

Absolute godsend for frugal cooking - a slow-cooker. They're not super expensive and you can find them in homeware stores and cheap department stores everywhere nowadays. Seriously, this solves all your problems. Buy the cheapest cuts of beef, a bunch of vegetables (tomato, potato, celery...

My experience commuting in Sydney is that the trains are reliable; buses are not. Food is cheapest around the universities, because they cater for students, but you're still looking at $10-12 for a meal.

Pretty much any theoretical and experimental science of any kind will involve a fairly significant level of mathematics. It's basically unavoidable. That being said, the biosciences have less of it than Physics or Chem. There'll be statistics mainly, and some algebra and calculus (differential...

There's definitely a sizable anti-Arabic sentiment in some parts of the population, but a lot of the "Indian Student Racism" was overblown - most of them weren't victims on-campus. The ones that were attacked in Melbourne were typically walking alone, late at night, through areas that...

Now that I said this, I just spent 8 hours working on a public holiday long weekend.

Shark is used in fish and chips. True story. I don't regularly eat diverse things, but I have done.

I was led to believe that being a lawyer in a top tier corporate firm meant allnighters every night. The latest I've ever stayed was 11.30pm, once, for something due the next day. I've worked a collective total of about 10-12 weekend hours in two years.
