But it's on HECS/FEE-HELP, it's a loan. So you're not paying that cost upfront.
A University degree is going to set you back
$80-120k all up, plus living costs over 3 years. Comparable to the Academy course except the academy qualifies you faster.Currently movement into the group is limited. However if what is being rumoured about the requirements for upcoming recruitment over the next 5 years are correct then they'll need a substantial amount of recruitment into mainline alone, an amount never before seen in the company's history. And then all the recruitment into group subsidiaries beyond that. Inevitable Academy graduates will have to taken directly into the group, and straight into mainline, at some stage.
Yes, it the world economy could all fall in a heap and it's back to square one. But with a constant few years of growth it could be quite a spurt, and there'll be some who are able to take advantage of some rapid movement at an early point in their career if well positioned.

Funnily enough with inflation $80k in 2002 would now be $125k in 2022.
