I could quote a few things from above.

but:
Do not go to uni simply to please your parents
Do not go to uni until you are absolutely sure what you want to do.
If you want to get into the hands on part of things, uni probably isn't the place to be. I've a Bachelor in Civil Engineering. Biggest waste of 5.5 years of my life. The only benefit was getting the peice of paper at the end. I do construction of roads & stuff for a living & never used any of the theory I learnt (University of Queensland is only good for pushing people into postgrad & lecturing jobs, in Civil anyway). I've had to look after students at work experience from QUT & they knew more than me.

There's probably one uni in each state that's good at the practical aspects & specialised field, & another thats good for theory.
Figure out what you what the pick the right one.

On the other hand, I've got a workmate who got a diploma in Civil Engineering at TAFE, he's 6 weeks older, started TAFE later & finished earlier, & has a higher paying job than me. I probably get more job satisfaction though.

My suggestion: take a year off, do some full time work, even maybe try to get an apprenticeship at a mechanic or something in the general field. You may discover you hate it. I love to work on cars, but I'd never do it full time, too frustrating. And how many mechanic's daily drivers are worked on?

My 3.2c (incl GST) worth
