Icarus53,
despite the fact that basic maths, physics and english are used constantly in this profession
I agree we use basic maths and english, in the form of general everyday additions, multiplying & dividing, plus having to communicate in correct English terminology, which is Primary School level stuff anyway. Not that I am suggesting that only Primary School level education should be a minimum requirement.
Physics? I don't think so, let alone any of those mentioned three subjects at HSC level are totally useless in today's environment.
In fact, I think that QF have dropped the Physics requirement (stand to be corrected if wrong).
