The Best Jobs of 2018
The following information has been taken from Good MBA Guide. this is the link to the article.
Some people love what they do for work, some hate it but what do you think is the best job in the country? It depends on how you define best; it might be salary, perks, development opportunities, the work-life balance or a multitude of other factors.
Or you could cut out the middleman all together and check out Business Insider’s rundown of Indeed’s Best Jobs of 2018, a comprehensive list of the top 30 roles based on demand. The rankings include average base salary, number of postings per million of jobs in 2017 and percentage of growth over the last three years.
If you were thinking about becoming a lead teacher, good choice! They were number one on the list, earning $92,723 on average and in the last three years, have grown by an extraordinary 1,907 per cent. Full stack developer wasn’t far behind with a 1,652 per cent boost, followed by senior landscape architect and regional recruiter, while court manager rounded out the top five.
Perhaps surprisingly due to its job title, technology assistant came in at number 11 with the highest average salary ($141,738), with survey technician ($81,879) at the other end of the spectrum. Full stack developer led the way for postings per million (2,740), while regional recruiter recorded just 45.
Three key industries featured strongly in the list, including tech (full stack developer, cloud engineer, IT security specialist), health and wellness (wellbeing managers, clinical lead nurse and maternity nurse) and construction (senior landscape architect, site engineer and survey technician).
Other insights included the shortage of tradespeople in Australia paving the way for those who do enter the industry (builders, plumbers, electricians) to enjoy lucrative careers, and the value of workers with skills related to data science.

The University of Queensland - Changes to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) selection rank schemes
The following information is relevant to Students in year 10. Current Year 11 and 12 students are not affected by this change.
Changes to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) selection rank schemes
With the introduction of the new senior assessment and tertiary entry systems (SATE), there are changes to how Vocational Education and Training (VET) is treated as part of the senior curriculum.
Under the new system, a completed VET award (eg. AQF Certificate III, Certificate IV or Diploma) may be used in the calculation of a student's ATAR where this is one of the student's best eligible study results. Currently, VET awards do not contribute to the calculation of the OP.
From 2020 onwards however, UQ will no longer allow school-leaver applicants to receive a standalone selection rank on the basis of a VET award alone. This change will only impact students applying for tertiary entry in the year immediately following Year 12.
Non-school-leaver applicants will still be able to use their VET qualifications to apply for entry to UQ in subsequent years, and this change will not impact students completing their OP in 2018 (current Year 12 students) or 2019 (current Year 11 students).
UQ have made this decision in support of the recommendation from the Minister for Education's Senior Secondary Assessment Taskforce to preserve the integrity of the ATAR by encouraging young people to stay within the secondary education system and not seek early exit. UQ will therefore not be considering 'alternative' qualifications from current school leavers for tertiary entry in the year following Year 12, with the exception of an IB Diploma.
Questions?
Contact UQ Admissions on admissions@uq.edu.au or call us on (07) 3365 2203.
UPDATE TO THE ABOVE:
Further information about applicant selection under the QLD ATAR
As previously advised, UQ has made the decision to not assess 'alternative' qualifications from current school leavers after the introduction of the new secondary school system. This decision has been made as per the Minister for Education's request to encourage young people to stay within the secondary education system.
Alternative qualifications include VET awards as well as Music, Speech and Drama awards such as those assessed by the AMEB. As such, school leaver applicants will not be able to use standalone entry ranks based on completed AMEB awards until at least one year after they have completed Year 12.
All non-school leaver applicants applying at least 12 months from the completion of high school will be able to use their AMEB qualifications to apply for entry to UQ.

The following is news from QTAC and is mostly relevant to Year 10 students.
We have had many enquiries about which English subjects in the new QCE system will meet the English prerequisite for tertiary courses in 2021. Almost all institutions requiring an English prerequisite for a course will accept any of the four general English subjects on offer. General English subjects are English, English as an Additional Language, Literature, and English & Literature Extension. For updated prerequisite information, institutions prerequisite information can be found here at https://www.qtac.edu.au/atar-my-path/my-path
General science subject prerequisite
Relevant education courses now list the science prerequisite as General science subject.
General science subjects that will meet this prerequisite for all Queensland institutions are: Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Environmental Science, Marine Science, Physics and Psychology.
Vocational Education and training (VET) Entry Pathways
There have been discussions about how VET qualifications will be considered by institutions courses commencing in 2021.
Institution policies are currently being presented to Principals and at the completion of the state-wide information sessions held with QCAA, we will be releasing this information on our website.

Queensland University of Technology - Changes to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) selection rank schemes
For students
currently in Year 10, there are changes to how VET in schools qualifications
will be assessed for university entry. The following information has been received
from QUT.
QUT supports
the inclusion of a VET qualification in the calculation of a Queensland ATAR.
We will also assess an eligible VET in schools (VETiS) qualification
independently for admission where the school leaver has obtained an ATAR.
For entry to QUT from 2021:
- An ATAR or a complete International Baccalaureate
Diploma (IBD) will be an essential criteria for school-leaver entry to
QUT.
- School leavers who obtain an ATAR will be assessed on
their ATAR and, if they have completed an eligible VETiS qualification at
school, then that VETiS qualification can also be assessed for entry
independently.
- School leavers who pursue only a VETiS qualification as
a secondary school outcome will not be eligible for entry to QUT on the
basis of their completed VETiS qualification alone for a period of two
years following their secondary studies.
- School leavers with neither an ATAR nor a VETiS
qualification (ATAR-ineligible applicants) will not be eligible for entry
to QUT.
- Performing arts qualifications will not be assessed for admission for any applicant.
See the website for more information
about entry in 2021. If you have questions, contact
QUT Admissions on qut.applications@qut.edu.au
Students
who are in Year 10 and plan to study at QUT need to choose the correct
assumed knowledge or prerequisite subjects. Check the subjects
for entry in 2021 and beyond.

2018 Young Scholars Program (YSP) Camp dates
As
a result of the 2018 Commonwealth game dates, there has been a schedule clash
with the dates for the UQ Young Scholars Program (YSP) and the final week of
Year 11 in 2018.
We are aware that some Queensland schools will have Year 11 students in exam blocks during the planned camp dates of November 25 - 29, 2018.
We are limited in the dates in which we can host YSP - having to find a gap between examinations, graduations and the commencement of summer semester. Many of our academic staff, integral to the delivery of the program, are also only available for a short time after examinations.
We will be proceeding with our original camp dates, despite this clash. If your students remain available for these dates, we strongly encourage that they consider applying. Reduced demand for 2018 might provide opportunities for students who might sometimes be overlooked for opportunities like this, but who are consistent achievers.
More information on YSP and how to apply can be found on our website
