Any options available for someone who has a diploma but is not the studying type? Going to university might be a torture?

The important question is what type of work do you want to do in life? Work backwards from there and see whether a degree is needed. There are certain roles off the top of my head that doesn't require a degree:

• Cabin Crew

• Insurance Agent

• Property Agent

• Army/Police

You can also try applying to companies. Progression tends to be faster with Private companies. Government related companies are very strict on pay and rank based on your education.

Like what Shania said, you can just start working with your diploma.

However, there are now more university courses that are more hands on, think like poly. SIT has a good number of these courses where you get an industry attachment as part of the curriculum. So you may want to look at that to expand your options to make a decision that fits you best.

Good luck.
