WHY do people want to come to this shithole?

It was a great city, now its fucked, needs a few more years to get back up.

Christchurch not a bad place, it is what you make of it. It just suddenly got much harder to make of it.
Jobs are good motivators, along with lifestyle and pussy. Only lifestyle comes more into play as you get older, pussy is for the younger folk, but jobs is pretty much a constant.

'grats on 'new' job I guess Lias. What you do?

I agree Pyro, I don't think any LARGE city in NZ would offer me any more, i'd prob get frustrated and want to be back in Chch.

But moving to a smaller place..... mmmmmm now that would be great. I just need a fuck ton of money so I can mow lawns at the local golf club for a job.

I'm preparing for a move to Christchurch.

We could totes be trashy flm8s, Codex <3


BEEERRRR
STFU SPEAKMAN (ILU SPEAKMAN)

Be nice, and I'll send Ghost up with some Rogue Hop in the weekend
I WILL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, DEAR GOD, PLEASE, I CAN'T GET IT ANYWHERE!

Also, Retardo is moving to Chch? Moving from a shithole to a racist shithole? GW son. Why don't you, Codex and Speakman, split the diff and all move to Wellington. Yep, good plan, good work Arni, have a wank, don't mind if I do.

Gosh ur mad.

My visit to Christchurch the other week was pretty awesome. A large percentage of my friends now reside in Christchurch.

I don't have much interest in Wellington or Auckland.

Electronics, Mechatronics or Computer Systems.

This, in current canterbury university words:

Electrical, Mechatronics, Computer Engineering.

They're also starting to offer software engineering.

Basically you want to be designing and building automation systems and robots. Because in the future that will be the only industry.

Hmm, I thought they offered software engineering for a long time.
Maybe not. If not and software is your thing, then there's always the terribly named COSC department (COmputer SCience).

A lot of the time I wish I'd stayed with my Mechatronics degree :<

Just figured out that if I was still in NZ I'd have started work over half an hour ago.

And I was all "NOPE, FUCK THAT."
