Vet school fees - Melbourne
@onyxia99 said: Hey! I’m in Yr 12 this year, I’ve had my heart set on becoming a vet for a long time. Looking at the DVM at UniMelb, which costs 250k, while fee help only covers 150k, I’m wondering if you know how payment for it would work, if I dont get a gov. subsidised place? Would I have to cough up 100k+ after completing the bachelor of science? Haven’t been able to find much online and teachers haven’t been much help. Really worried about my chances of doing the course at that price. Cheers
I’d be worried about paying that back at that price too. It’s going to saddle you with $250k debt straight out of the gate, which is at least half the price of a house around Melbourne, when the average new graduate vet wage is around $45k per year and an experienced one is more like $70-80k. Paying off $250k would be extremely difficult without a cash gift from a wealthy benefactor. But because vet degrees are in such high demand by students, there will be someone desperate enough to pay this, whether or not it’s a good idea.
Certainly you wouldn’t be the only student who’s has to turn down a full-fee paying place and keep waiting for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP, the government supported ones), because the CSPs are much cheaper with the government footing a percentage of the bill, and you can then put the rest on Fee-HELP. (Fee-HELP is basically an inflation-only government loan only for higher education, which is paid out of your tax withheld. You just pay more tax until it’s paid off, for the Americans in the audience)
If you are in a full-fee position, you essentially need to make sure your semester fees are paid by the census date in each semester. That’s a day about three weeks in where everybody has to be committed to their subjects. So you’d need to be paying a chunk of that $250k every 6 months, which is a huge ask. There is little flexibility and the finance department at Unimelb can be very slow to do anything.
So you pay your semester’s fees per semester, and most people would have to take out a private loan to do that.
There’s a few details I can’t quite remember about Fee-HELP though. I’m pretty sure that $150k loan is the lifetime maximum for students in the medical fields, so if you’ve already put a science degree onto Fee-HELP you haven’t still got the total $150k you can use. And I’m not sure if full-fee students even qualify for Fee-HELP in the first place, so you may be completely on your own with that $250k.
$250k is a lot of money and will take a long time to repay. My loans were closer to $40k and it’s taken me about ten years to pay them all down, and that’s on a CSP. $250k could take your entire working career and if I had to make these decisions again, knowing what I know now, I don’t think I’d accept a full-fee place, but would rather wait the extra year and try again for a CPS.
Good luck with whatever way you decide to do.

( my muse’s five last sent texts yours )
( sent to ❝ gwen + robo ❞ — 3:37 PM ) im just going to go ahead and apologize in advance if thats ok
( sent to ❝ gwen + robo ❞ — 3:39 PM ) there might be an influx of students w/ poison ivy in ur office today
( sent to ❝ gwen + robo ❞ — 3:39 PM ) it was 100% an accident but there may have been a period of like four hours where the entire south wall of the school was kinda sorta covered in it
( sent to ❝ gwen + robo ❞ — 3:43 PM ) well okay i was trying to enhance a couple of the climbing vines this morning to make it look nice but i got distracted by this little family of ladybugs just hangin out in the grass by the bottom of the trellis
( sent to ❝ gwen + robo ❞ — 3:43 PM ) long story short i thought it was fragrant sumac but it definitely was not and i fixed it now but i cant guarantee anyone didnt touch it and did i mention i am very sorry because i am
( my muse’s five last unsent texts yours )
( drafted — 2:17 AM ) ok this might seem completely out of left field but i have a question and ive been thinking about it for like a solid half hour so i thought i would ask because youre one of the smartest people i know and most qualified probably to offer your thoughts 
( drafted — 2:25 AM ) alright so like… from a medical standpoint are people with different mutations like, different to heal? like if someone with the gift to shapeshift into animals was hurt while they were in their animal form, would you have to have to treat them in that form or does their genetic makeup somehow transfer the wounds when they shift back?
( drafted — 2:37 AM ) and what if it was like an injury that occurs in an organ that the animal has but that the persons natural human form doesnt? like what if theyd transformed into a woodpecker and maybe they try to peck at a tree thats just a little too hard and they hurt their beak how does a beak injury translate in the human anatomy if they shift back? or if they were a spider and something happened to their chelicerae? i dunno these are just random examples
( drafted — 2:51 AM ) but ok speaking of spiders okay what about if by some horrible tragedy while as a spider they happened to lose a leg? ive seen that in the garden before, spiders walking around with six or seven legs and i wonder how it happens but the point is that it does sometimes and so like what if they lose one of eight legs in spider form will they still have lost a whole limb in human form or only half because of like… fractions and science? or is it possible that they keep all their limbs and instead it manifests as phantom spider leg pains?  is that leg gone forever if they choose to shift into a spider again? what if it was a different kind of spider?
( drafted — 2:57 AM ) did your job require veterinary training?
( my muse’s last snapchat to yours )
( x ) w/ the caption  ❝ setting up giant game of twister for the students w/ callum and we need a ref !! ❞ followed by a separate text snap w/  ❝ please say yes we could always do it but now that were finished it looks awesome and we both kinda want to play ❞ 
( what my muse saved your number as )
❝ gwen + robo ❞ ( because yes, he has probably facetimed her JUST to see robocop before lbr ) 
( what contact photo my muse has set for yours )
( x )
( what ringtone my muse has set for yours )
idk why but for some reason i just imagine topher has, like… tons of different bird sounds saved to his phone?? like he’s just got a bunch of like ten second clips of various little bird songs he’s recorded around the property and he tries to collect different ones and uses them as ringtones for his friends and he actually thinks really hard about who gets which one and why?? gwen’s ringtone is the soft hoo of a spotted owl he heard in the woods one night bc owls represent wisdom and he thinks she’s probs one of the wisest ( at very least, smartest ) people he knows.
( how many times my muse has called your this week? )
probably not very often. he prefers having conversations face to face, and since they both work at the school, she’s never that far away. ( that doesn’t stop him from almost-sending her long-winded text messages in the middle of the night when he’s thinking too hard about the most ridiculous shit, though. but fortunately for gwen, topher is usually too high in those hours moments to realize when he’s not actually hitting the send button. )
( how many calls has my muse missed from yours? )
one. because after he sent her the lengthy text apology for the poison ivy incident, he realized it was a situation he probably should’ve explained in person, and he immediately started toward the nurse’s office when he saw her calling.

Pay-as-you-drive auto insurance: do you think this is a good idea?
An alliance of insurance companies and environmentalists wants to bring a new kind of mileage-based auto insurance to California and charge motorists only for the number of miles actually driven. Called pay as you drive, the option is available from a few insurers in 34 states ... as well as Canada, Japan and Europe. One company, GMAC Insurance Group, says its customers -- whose mileage is tracked by General Motors Corp.'s OnStar system -- have reduced the premiums they pay by 13% to 54%.... The system could cut motoring costs, protect the environment and reduce traffic congestion, boosters say. Opponents, mainly privacy advocates, say they fear that insurance companies could begin tracking more than just a driver's mileage. High-mileage drivers could also see higher rates. from the Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/science/environment/la-fi-carinsure15-2008jul15,0,6970018.story""

Why does car insurance rates increase if you have a lapse in coverage?
For example, lets say I have car insurance and pay it on a timely matter and then all of a sudden I move to city where there is a lot of public transportation and my car breaks down. So, instead of worrying about my car I utilize the bus system as I cannot afford to have my car fixed, in turn I cancel my car insurance. Hypothetically lets say a couple months down the road I have a change of heart and am able to afford the repairs for my car. So now my car is up and running etc etc. Why is it that now when I sign up for insurance again my rates will be higher. My situation is that I have a vehicle but it is a lot older and it is broken down right now. It is going to be a few months before I can get it fixed. So, I thought of canceling my insurance bc I was wondering why should I pay insurance for something I am not driving. I, then, told my agent that once i got it fixed i would add the insurance back, he then told me what the consequences of my actions would be. Why do my rates go higher just bc I get rid of the insurance? It's not like I am doing anything illegal. I would not be driving the car bc it is broke down.""
Why is it that insurance rates are so high in the state of New Jersey?

I don't trust my dad and I want the car under MY name, but he said that the insurance will cost more. If I put the car under MY name, but put the car under his insurance, will it cost more because the car is under my name or will it cost the same? I don't want to pay for the car and then when its finished, he takes the car saying that its under his name and I cant do anything about it. How much would I pay for insurance?""

Just got in a car accident...I'm 16 we have USAA. How much will my insurance go up?
I was being stupid and driving too fast on a wet day. I spun out and hit a wall (thank god I'm okay) and damaged the back right on my car pretty bad. I know our deductible is either $500 or $1000 but my question is about my much will my insurance go up? I know its not going to be pretty since I've only had my lisense for 10 months...
Should i get 20 year term or a 30 year term life insurance?
My husband and I currently have a 20 year term life insurance policy. We are switching companies because we were paying too much at State Farm. I'm 30 and he is 33 and we are both in very good health. We have a 9 month old baby boy and our policies are for $500,000 each. The rate I'm getting is $45 for both of us for the 20 year term and $70 for both of us for the 30 year term. Which one should I go with?""

Is it possible to find a health insurance plan with no deductible requirement?
I found the perfect plan for $33 a month, but it has a $10,000 deductible. WTF? Unless I become pregnant and have a kid, or need surgery or whatever, I find it impossible to make a $10,000 bill within a year. That's too much. I've always been healthy and rarely need to visit doctors. Then I was looking at other policies and they were more expensive, but they all had deductibles. One was like $160 a month with a deductible of $5,000. And anyways, I'm a college student and financially independent which means that I am no daddy's girl -I have to work to support myself and pay some school expenses. I don't want to depend on my parents financially in any way (they are willing to, but I just feel like at 21, I shouldn't be their responsibility anymore) so I always worry something would happen to me and they would have to pay hospital bills for me. I can't afford paying a very high deductible or a high monthly quote. Any hope for me? ..or should I move to Canada?""

Should I be able to get disability?
Here is my story, I was working and slipped and fell on my side (I did file a accident report). At first I felt fine just a numbness in my side and thinking it would go away, but as the months went by the numbness went away to only be replaced by a pain. I took pain medications to ease it and it helped relieve the pain but now it hardly does anything, if anything at all. I am like 6'4 and before the accident I weighed around 230, now I am climbing to 320??? Oh, I am 25. Oh, and I have been fighting my insurance for 5 years. I cannot exercise to lose weight because the pain in my side prevents me to do daily activities for long or if any at all. I have grown severely depressed as in that I have gained all this weight and feel disgusted with the way I look like and try to avoid any human contact or be seen because I feel disgusting with the way I look. I hope I have said all I needed to do. I just feel I cannot function as a normal person in society anymore. And times if there is no hope for me, I feel as if maybe the best solution for me is to commit suicide because I just feel so much like a freak to the world now.""

Car Insurance - No claims question?
If you have been banned for a year, and are now back and allowed legally to drive, can you continue to use/put down your no claims bonus. For example, if you had 9 years, then were banned for a year, can you put the 9 down this year? Or does the ban wipe that out? As the ban wasn't a claim on the insurance, can it still be used? Does anyone know, or any ideas where I could check this out? Looking for quotes online and Im not sure which number to put in.""

Trump’s Hiring Freeze Could Imperil Breakthrough Discovery On Bees
Julia Fine was all set for the next chapter.Shed packed her bags and moved out of her apartment, and was days away from making the drive from Pennsylvania to Utah, where she planned to start work as a postdoctoral scholar with the Agricultural Research Service, the U.S. Department of Agricultures research agency.
I had made all the plans, said Fine, a bee researcher who recently completed her doctorate in entomology at Pennsylvania State University. I was supposed to start as soon as possible.
But on Jan. 23, just three days after President Donald Trumps inauguration, the 28-year-old researcher got a perturbing phone call. The president had ordered a sweeping employment freeze for the federal government. Her position at the research service and the funding that was going to allow her to continue her research into why honeybees are dying at abnormally high rates could be in jeopardy.
I was told that my position was frozen for an indefinite amount of time, Fine said.
A USDA spokesperson told The Huffington Post the agency could not comment on how the freeze might affect individual researchers. When pressed on how the order had affected employees at the USDA, the spokesperson sent this memorandumabout the directive, which outlined guidelines and possible exemptions. As of Sunday, Fine said she remained confused as to whether she could qualify for any of the exemptions.
Much is still unknown about the hiring freeze and how it will affect federal agencies. It has causedwidespreadconfusion among federal employers and employees alike. Fine is just one of many scientists, engineers, nurses and others whose jobs, promised before Trump took office, are now in question. And her story is only one example of how the freeze could affect not just these individuals, but our developing understanding of the world.
Fine was the lead author of a studypublished in the journal Nature last month that detailed how a common pesticide additive, organosilicone surfactants, could be killing honeybees.
Organosilicone surfactants are inert chemicals, meaning theyre used in agriculture and elsewhere to enhance the efficacy of active ingredients, Fine explained. Youve probably heard a lot about the effects of active ingredients[in pesticides] on bees and other organisms, but most people are not aware that they are only a relatively small fraction of the chemicals being used in the environment, she said. We started looking at the effects of inerts on honeybees because there is a growing body of research showing that not only do they enhance the toxic effects of other chemicals on non-target organisms, they sometimes exert their own.
For their study, Fine and her colleagues fed organosilicone surfactants to honeybee larvae while simultaneously exposing them to viruses found in nearly all hives. They found that when the larvae were exposed to both the chemical and the viruses together, they died at a higher rate than the bees exposed to either the viruses or the chemical alone.
Exactly what is causing mass die-offs not just of honeybees, but of other native bee species as well, such as the endangered rusty-patched bumblebee is a question vexing scientists and beekeepers alike. Between 2015 and 2016, the U.S. lost 44 percent of its honeybee colonies. Researchers have pointed to viruses, parasites and pesticide use as possible culprits, but a definitive answer has eluded them.
Fine said her research could be extremely consequential for both bee health and agriculture, since farmers rely on bees as pollinators.
We are very close to being able to make sound recommendations to growers that will prevent the effects we observed in the laboratory from occurring in the field, she said. This research could help increase food security.
So many crops that we depend upon require insect pollination, she went on. This is not basic research its very applied research. Itll have impacts on the economy and on our access to food.
But Fine still has to conduct more research before she can make recommendations, which she was planning to do through the USDA postdoc.
Specifically, she said the precise amount of organosilicone surfactants in the environment still has be measured to understand just how much of it honeybees are being exposed to.
We also need to examine their effects in other species, including other pollinators, Fine said. We know that native pollinators can also be affected by honeybee viruses, and are also likely to be exposed to organosilicone surfactants.Because of the declines in native species like the rusty-patched bumblebee, we need to consider that these chemicals may also affect them.
With no other plans and her travel already set up, Fine decided to make the drive to Utah anyway, despite not knowing what would happen when she got there. She arrived last week and has been looking into other possible sources of funding for her research, while hoping that Trump lifts the hiring freeze.
Im still in limbo, she told HuffPost, speaking on the phone from a friends home in Utah, where shes living for now. Most of her belongings are still in storage, and her research is on indefinite hold.

Trumps first two weeks in office have been tough for the countrys scientists.
Like the federal hiring freeze, Trumps executive order restricting travel from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days has affected thousands of scientists.
A number of researchers have told HuffPost they are considering leaving the United States because of the uncertainty about their visas. Over the weekend, two associate professors at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth were detained at Bostons Logan International Airport. A Yale professor of electrical engineering and computer science wasseparated from his wife and newborn, who had gone to Iran to visit relatives. An Iranian assistant professor of religion at Middlebury College said he was unsure if he would be able to return to the U.S. after leaving the country to conduct research.
Several prominent universities and colleges have expressed concernsabout the travel restrictions, and theAssociation of American Medical Colleges warnedthat the restrictions are compromising its ability to attract top talent from around the world.
Scientists are also nervous about the Trump administrations reported attempts to censor several federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agencyand the USDA.
I fear were going to see a war on scientists inside the government, Norman Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, said last week at an American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting.

The First Anti-Science President
Following Trumps win in November, the Science Advisory Board, an international community of scientific and medical experts, conducted a survey of more than 3,200 scientists worldwide to gauge their reactions.
More than70 percent of the scientistspredicted the results of the election would have a negative impact on research and science in the U.S. More than 70 percent also agreed with the statement that Trump would be the first anti-science president we have ever had.
Trump is a vocal climate change denier, and many of his Cabinet choices have been lambasted asanti-science. Scott Pruitt, Trumps nominee to head the EPA, has sued the agency 13 times and has expressed skepticism over global warming. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Trumps choice to lead the Energy Department, is also a climate change denier who supportedteachingbothevolution and creationist theoryin Texas schools.
Jeff Ruch, executive director of the group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, told The Hill last week that scientists are bracing for more clashes with the federal government going forward.
We asked some environmental employees and one said, Were in the clown car to crazy town, Ruch said.We view this as sort of the opening act of whats going to be a long and bloody drama.
