寄托三剑客小R之"留学澳洲前的人生规划"

俗话说“三百六十行，行行出状元”，工、农、商、学，各大行业类别中，你确定的人生核心目标是什么呢？?
    成为百万富翁、千万富翁，做一名出色的商人？?
    成为大学教授、出色的研究员？?
    成为一名高收入的白领专业人员？?
    成为一名有为的社会工作者？政府官员？?
    成为一名技术蓝领？成为农场主？?
    ……?
    如果你不知道自己的方向，你就会谨小慎微，裹足不前。如果没有方向，那么你的人生计划也一样混乱无章！
?
    不少人终生都像梦游者一样，漫无目标地游荡。他们每天都按熟悉的“老一套”生活，从来不问自己：“我这一生要干什么?”他们对自己的作为不甚了了，因为他们缺少目标。?
曾经看到这样一个故事， 唐太宗贞观年间，长安城西的一家磨坊里，有一匹马和一头驴子。它们是好朋友，马在外面拉东西，驴子在屋里推磨。贞观三年，这匹马被玄奘大师选中，出发经西域前往印度取经。?
    17年后，这匹马驮着佛经回到长安。它重到磨坊会见驴子朋友。老马谈起这次旅途的经历：浩瀚无边的沙漠，高入云霄的山岭，凌峰的冰雪，热海的波澜……那些神话般的境界，使驴子听了极为惊异。驴子惊叹道：“你有多么丰富的见闻啊！那么遥远的道路，我连想都不敢想。”老马说：“其实，我们跨过的距离是大体相等的，当我向西域前行的时候，你一步也没停止。不同的是，我同玄奘大师有一个遥远的目标，按照始终如一的方向前进，所以我们打开了一个广阔的世界。而你被蒙住了眼睛，一生就围着磨盘打转，所以永远也走不出这个狭隘的天地。”?
    杰出人士与平庸之辈最根本的差别，并不在于天赋，也不在于机遇，而在于有无人生目标！就像那匹老马与驴子，当老马始终如一地向西天前进时，驴子只是围着磨盘打转。尽管驴子一生所跨出的步子与老马相差无几，可因为缺乏目标，它的一生始终走不出那个狭隘的天地。?

出国留学其实是实现人生目标的一个途径或者说是一个经历。有能力出国的学生都应该考虑一个人生的核心目标问题。其实 杰出人士与平庸之辈的根本差别并不是天赋、机遇，而在于有无目标。很多到澳洲留学的朋友，特别是有一些工作经验的，尤其有这样忧患意识，整天在国内一家单位工作，多少缺乏认识世界的机遇，大胆走出国门，即使没有成功也不后悔，因为他们认识了世界，知道自己未来可以做啥，应该做啥，丰富的人生阅历将是未来成功的基石！
  有人说，一个人无论现在年龄有多大，他真正的人生之旅，都是从设定目标的那一天开始的。以前的日子，不过是在绕圈子而已。 这就好似一个故事，说的是西撒哈拉沙漠中的旅游胜地——比赛尔。 在很久以前，比赛尔是一个只能进、不能出的贫瘠地方。在一望无际的沙漠里，一个人如果凭着感觉往前走，他只会走出许多大小不一的圆圈，最后的足迹十有八九是一把卷尺的形状。因为人们没有认识到这一点，所以他们一直都没走出去过。后来，一位青年出现了，他发现比赛尔四处都是沙漠，一点可以参照的东西也没有，于是，他找到了北斗星，在北斗星的指引下，他成功地走出了大漠。这位青年人于是成了比赛尔的开拓者，他的铜像被竖在小城的中央。铜像的底座上刻着一行字：新生活是从选定方向开始的。?

“新生活是从选定方向开始的。”你的生活目标选定了吗？?   你生活中的北斗星在哪里？?

我摘录几种最流行的。

首先是关于会计的详细描述：

Chartered AccountingA qualification in accounting opens the door to great opportunities and a huge variety of business careers. In fact, it offers more potential than most other professions.
Finance professionals with an accounting qualification hold key positions across all sectors of industry and commerce. They work in the entertainment industry, the arts, defence and police forces, the health industry, charities, welfare organisations and education. They work in all aspects of government administration from local to federal level.
Today's accountant is also a pacesetter in rapidly growing areas of business such as information management and technology, financial planning and business advice.
The accounting profession has seen a fundamental shift towards a wide-ranging advisory role. The traditional image of an accountant was one of 'number cruncher'. This is no longer the case, with most accountants taking on a much more complex role within organisations - which sees them as providers of business management information rather than purely financial information. Improved technology is enabling accountants to automate the more mundane tasks, allowing them time to develop their skills and further their knowledge in all areas of business.
Along with CEOs and major business unit directors, the top management teams in modern commercial organisations typically include accountants. Accountants often play a key role in the development of strategic business plans, facilitating major change within an organisation.
This role change has lead to a broadening of tertiary accounting courses. Universities are now offering courses that transcend traditional technical accounting subjects in favour of areas such as economics, marketing, information technology or organisational behaviour.
The accountant of today must be equipped to become a comprehensive business adviser not just a 'number cruncher'.
Opportunities for Accounting Graduates
When you ask most people "What is an accountant?" they think of someone who works out profit and loss statements, balances the books and does complicated tax returns and audits. Of course that's still an essential part of some accountancy jobs. But the reality for today's accountants is much wider than that.
Today, your career as a finance professional could include any of these choices:

• public practice (providing accounting services to clients)
• strategic business planning
• cost and management accounting
• stockbroking
• auditing
• treasury
• taxation
• information systems
• mergers, acquisitions and corporate reconstructions
• foreign exchange
• financial planning
• superannuation
• manufacturing management
• corporate planning
• insurance
• business consulting
• insolvency and reconstruction
• management consulting

Getting the Right Education
The first step on the path to becoming a qualified Accountant is to successfully complete an accredited tertiary course. You can choose from around 50 different tertiary institutions right round Australia. Students may be able to convert from other disciplines by successfully completing accredited postgraduate conversion courses which cover the minimum core of knowledge required to continue your studies.
Following completion of your tertiary course, you will be required to undertake further accreditation through either the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia (ICAA) or CPA Australia.
Different Accounting bodies in Australia
In Australia there are a number of accounting bodies. The two largest, the ICAA and CPA Australia, both require their members to be degree qualified and also to undertake postgraduate qualifications. Members of both organisations are found across the breadth of the business world, from industry and commerce, public practice and the public sector to government organisations and academia. Both designations are globally recognised.
What is a Chartered Accountant (CA)?
CAs are university graduates who, after completing their degree, are required to pass a postgraduate program, the CA Program and also complete a three-year period of approved practical experience mentored by a Chartered Accountant.  CAs can choose to work in different environments depending on their own skills and preferences. They can choose to work in large firms, small public practices, industry, government or education. Many also set up their own businesses.
Have a look at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia website - www.charteredaccountants.com.au/students which has been developed to help students into a career as a chartered accountant.
To read more about careers for Chartered Accountants, download the booklet Careers in Chartered Accounting below.
Chartered Accounting
What is a CPA?
A CPA is a finance, accounting and business professional with a specific qualification who has completed the CPA program, a comprehensive postgraduate professional study program and had three years supervised or mentored experience in finance, accounting or business.
To read more about careers in accounting and finance, visit the CPA Australia careers website at www.cpacareers.com.au .
Other Information
Career View on Accounting is part of the Career View series produced by the Careers Advisory Service at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand. While the booklet was originally developed for a New Zealand audience, we believe that graduates in Australia will also find the information within it relevant and useful.

My Choice:

Social Science Research: According to the Oxford English Dictionary social science is ‘the scientific study of human society and social relationships.’ Typical areas for research include ethnicity and gender, employment and leisure, recreation & tourism, population health, lifestyle & well-being. Social science research is the gathering and analysis of this social data using scientific methods. Research methods can be classified in various ways and one of the most common, although increasingly blurred, distinctions is between qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Quantitative research methods are distinguished from qualitative research methods by their emphasis upon the use of mathematical and statistical techniques in gathering, analysing, interpreting and reporting upon, research data.They originally developed in the natural sciences to study natural phenomena. Examples of quantitative methods now well accepted in the social sciences include surveys and laboratory experiments.
Qualitative research methods are typically non numericaland were developed in the social sciences to enable researchers to study social and cultural phenomena. Examples of qualitative methods are in-depth interviews and questionnaires, the analysis of documents and texts, and value being placed upon the researcher's impressions and reactions and research results in the form of narrative description. Increasingly, researchers arerequired to use more than one method in a study.
Where do Social ScienceResearchers Work?
Social science researchers are employed in arange of central government departments, Library, Internal Affairs, Parliamentary Services, and in government ministries including the Ministries of Transport, Health, Education,Justice and Social Development. They are also employed in local government, NGOs (nongovernmentorganisations) and related organisations.
Social science researchers also work in the private sector, in market research, broadcasting, management consultancy, banking and insurance. Experienced researchers often work independently as consultants. Some choose to have academic careers – as university lecturers and researchers.
What Do Social Science Researchers Do?
Researchers often work as evaluators, policy analysts or advisory officers in government departments. Research, however, is only one component of a wide job brief. Advisory work tends to focus on developing policy, providing advice to the Minister and monitoring and evaluating policy implementation, impact and outcomes.

人和人之间真的没什么区别，这年头也没什么牛人。当你看到他们表面的风光，不妨想想他的背后的历史有多少艰辛。就像我看到当哥的monash全奖，必须看到他比我多出来的硕士，多出来的论文，多出来的工作经验和人生履历，这些东西，造就了phd的全奖和自费的区别。我认为绝对可以接受，我年轻，要向当哥学习，努力，而不是一味的羡慕，眼馋，那种肤浅的条件反射的情绪和思维，青蛙和老鼠都有，作为优秀的人类还是少被这种情绪控制的好。

给自己个目标，移民也许是不可测的，能否成功也许永远都是只有概率而没有一定。但是你自己的目标，却是绝对的，唯一的。只要坚持，必有收获。不信自己，也要信天道酬勤。

很多去澳洲想移民的筒子，也许在选择专业的时候，真的是除了会计没什么好选的。不过所幸，会计是商业语言，学了总是好事，做很多事情都能用到，移民以后具体做什么？这个一定要规划好。

我这2周一直在被选择折磨，但是现在心定了。其实很简单，查查澳洲的求职网站，看看那些工作的描述和工作机会。不难发现，会计还是很多机会的，只是很多应届会计毕业生就是为移民而来，毕业就转行。还有很多人英语不好，没有工作经验，这些缺陷慢慢都可以补回来。真的去适应了，工作和面包都还是有的。

我喜欢的职业上面也写了。我觉得无论研究型硕士还是博士，做social science方面都还是有机会的。我喜欢这种实用的学术类的人文社科类工作。而且只有去做这种类型的工作,才能从实践中,而不是从书本上,去体验,学习澳大利亚的社会福利以及社会制度.

小5，我很抱歉，但是兄弟不差那2年。我有梦想要去追寻，没有你和阿大的一帮兄弟的帮助，我的日子会难过很多，但是兄弟我为了梦想认了。

希望所有的来澳洲的朋友，在来之前，都先找好自己的发展道路。you fail to plan, your plan is to fail.

多说一句，工作狂类型的筒子，还是去香港或者美国比较好。澳洲不是不行，我总是主观臆测澳洲没有工作狂类型的大环境，独舞的感觉肯定不好。香港人那么多，又是中国人的地盘，好大学又多，会粤语的筒子们其实仔细思量下，也许香港更适合你们。何况那里也有身份证可以拿-在香港住满7年。

稳定心思，开始GRE+新概念+英文原版专业书。这1年，从寻找不到自己的信心到自信爆棚到喜欢brag到冷静到艰难抉择，成熟了不少。其实我觉得人生不在于你做的是否是完美，对未来的发展来说是否是超级的正确，而在于你做没有，你思考过没有，思考过多久，思考了什么。

我思故我在，我觉得思考不是人存在的标志那么简单，思考让你更成为一个“人”。

最后，贡献给大家一个网站，
http://www.gradsonline.com.au/gradsonline/

很好的网站，大家可以查阅各个专业不同学历的就业状况和就业领域。

HOHO，me不属于没有目标的人，但是却属于没有动力的人……必须有什么东西在后面抽我鞭子才能向前走。

如果喜欢什么东西会发了疯的去搞，但是如果没兴趣的则一点感觉都没有。

郁闷啊……行动力不足是最郁闷的。

rainfarUID：2177542

人都这样呵呵,me too.

能做的只能是增强你的will power.

AlisaHLUID：2239073

小R是很有计划和理想的啊.:)
现在我担心的事情基本解决了,该开始看专业书了.可惜我只能找到国内编写的关于社会工作和福利的中文书籍.....原版的真的还不知道怎么找那.......担心:funk:

rainfarUID：2177542

唉,小R我就再次分享下我得独门的简单的秘籍吧.

掏宝知道不?上去搜索,social work。

分享完毕。

rainfarUID：2177542

直接看英文，不要看中文，习惯用英文思维。

ssydlUID：2366979

呵呵 每次看到你的帖子总是有所收获啊
我的目标一直是和动力相联系的 以前不知道目标是什么 所以在学校混日子 现在知道了 所以开始发奋了 哈哈 RMIT的social work 很和我的胃口列 哈哈

rainfarUID：2177542

我其实很想去RMIT，2年授课式硕士对于社工来说很重要，然后是PR，几年的工作经验，然后是全奖PHD，最近进大学的faculty。很完美的路线。但是RMIT不要本科是社工的，只要本科非社工的....去flinder，课程又是2年总共12门subjects,2年以后能不能符合2年政策还说不定，所以，USYD的Mphil也就是我现在最好的选择了....不过如果以后选择工作，清一色的选择research领域，也没什么影响。

牛人和非牛人的区别  就是在于你自己以为自己是牛人还是非牛人.
