Which subjects were you planning to teach?

Not just quite bad. Its very very very very bad. Might as well apply to be a sbs or smrt bus driver earning 2k+ until the recession is over

Professor not an easy title to climb up to...

Had a chat with someone who managed to get in, say he saw most ppl in his batch are sec humanities, languages or pri. Very little sec math and sci. So probably more vacancies for you
