I did both Year 12 IT subjects (Systems + IPM) in Year 11 (top of class - very easy stuff) and then did Cert II in IT (TAFE / VET) in Year 12 (had an extra group of free periods too which was cool). After VCE I did Cert IV in IT at TAFE, but only had to go there 3.5 days since I'd already done Cert II, so I had plenty of time off then as well, although I was working where I am now one day per week. The other IT guy was a bit weird and left near the start of the following year, so his job was offered to me, but I decided to only work 4 days per week (0.8 full time), so everything's pretty sweet.
I don't like going to the city on weekends since it's like going to work. If you're ever in the CBD on a weekday (besides Wednesday) send me a PM and we might just be able to catch up for lunch.

Today I saw a Nissan GTR, a Golf R, and a few other German executive sedans.
