Yeah.
Still, it is nicer to have 'too many' options than it is to have 'not enough'. And the more you study the more opportunities you open up for yourself.

> No way!! Im moving im serious. 1 year!Yup. Last I heard. A few people from philosophy went over to do that after completing honours in philosophy.
May be the same case at different uni's in NZ. I don't know. Might be the case in Australia too. Check out the institutions.
> i dont think i would actually like this but they are used with people with addictions, they intervene to help get the person treatment. In way it is like conflict resolution.Hmm. Still not sure...
> i meant that your post sounded like there may be a 3 year program in NZ, that was euivalent to the american 4 year. but it sounds the same.Not quite. A 4 year undergrad degree from the US is comperable to a 3 year undergrad degree PLUS (one grad year of) honours. Those are supposed to be equivalent.
You need to have done honours before you can do a PhD.
> the honors sometimes is automatic with a 4 year I think, but at some schools I think you have to do a thesis and it may depend on your grades.
Right. So, sort of doing a directed study in your last year.
Sounds the same there.
But we award bachelors after 3 years.
A lot of people who make it to there aren't capable of making it any further. Hence the degree factory notion. But it changes for people doing honours. If you make it that far then things become different.

> Classes are finished in 3 weeks??? seems like it just started.Well... We have had 6 weeks of class, a 2 week study break, and 3 more weeks of class. Three weeks of class to go... But then there is another study break and then exams. But I don't do exams, so just 3 more weeks of class for me :-)
