After my looking at what they do, the responsibility, the challenges the face at work, I find it quite interesting and believe I will like it. I have also asked about the working life from my civil engineer friends here to get first hand information of the job. Not sure how relevant their Malaysian experiences will be in relation to the working life in Australia though, so I will need fellow forummers to help me out here.
I have looked at the course requirement, the subjects and believe I can cope. Other than that, it's also one of the job that would be easier to get a PR for. Of course, Accounting is an even better degree for getting a PR, but I don't think I will survive a day in the course : P
The thing i think could be a problem would be how people will perceive you when you go for a job interview after u grad. A freshie with 0 experience in the field, at age 20, it'll be fierce competition compared to the young guys who have just graduated. You'll also have to start at the low pay grade. Not much of a problem for the young bachelors, but i'll assume you would want to start a family by then, and a fresh grad salary would not be easy to survive on if you have a family to support.I have looked at the course requirement, the subjects and believe I can cope.

I'd rather go the postgraduate route. You don't really have to stick to the exact area that you are working on now, there are opportunities for you to switch field to something more or less related when you are in the postgraduate programme. You could like take a Postgraduate Diploma before starting your masters etc.
The plus point of taking this route i think would be that you are now a level above, a Masters/PhD degree holder, with previous work experience who went back to further his knowledge.
Just my 2 cents.
