What store chain do you work for? And what's Tafe, a technical school?
I think we had a thread like this already.

I think we had a thread like this already.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
Yeah, tafe is the Australian equivalent of a technical school. Not the name of one, but rather, tafe means "technical school".Originally Posted by Animeniax
There other similar thread we had was something like "Where are you on your career path"

Oh cool, so it's like how you Aussies say "uni" when you're talking about university schooling.
I considered going to trade school, but it's almost as expensive as 4 years at state university. The leading IT school in the region is ITT, and they charge something like $19k for 2 years' tuition. They had the silliest commercials in the early 1990s where the job interviewer asks the interviewee "have you worked on anything 'high tech'?" At which the applicant, who had not attended a technical school, solemnly shakes his head. The interviewer sighs and it's presumed the applicant doesn't get the job.

Oh? I didn't realise "uni" was something Aussie (and maybe NZealand) specific. I just googled TAFE, and while I knew it was an acronym, I didn't know it stood for Technical and Further Education.
What's the difference between College and University in the US and other places? Over here, schools that are both high and primary (elementary) schools call themselves colleges, while at our (and perhaps other) uni, college refers to the on-campus dorms.

I think it used to be a difference in campus size that determined if it was a college or university, but they're the same thing these days in so far as you work towards a 4 year undergraduate degree. The difference might be post-graduate work at universities that is not offered at colleges. And no, we don't refer to them as "uni" here in the states. The first time I heard the term and ever since, it was an Australian saying it.
