TAFE 

Share definition Flag
TAFE, in long 'Technical Applied Further Education' is the Australian government run educational facility for those who have left highschool but wish to further their skills and job prospects through a wide range of courses.

Something that many look down on simply for not requiring a UAI (university admissions index) to enrol. However these 'higher' individuals end up at TAFE themself when they're in their 30s/40s because the university courses they spent the best part of their life and money on can't actually be applied to a job.
Where do I find that big room where 300 of us gather around an old guy giving us his regurgitated ideology from a text book imprinted in his memory?

We don't have one of those here. It's TAFE.

Sorry, I'm too used to sticking with my life goal, which is to be accepted by society. So where do you go to be told what to write down about your beliefs on economic globalization?

Your mind.

Huh?
