Ex-students and teachers raise fears of cancer cluster at old Camden high school in Sydney, Hayden Cooper, ABC News, 24

July 2013

I was Dux of my school in New South Wales. I wasted three years of my life training to be a teacher.

I trained as a teacher 30 years ago and never was offered a full time job at the end of it.

Promises were made that if you went to Western Sydney you would surely get a job did not prove to be correct.

I was no 'dummy' as I had been Dux of my school in NSW and received the highest award for my teaching course (the equivalent of Dux).

We all undertook Department of Education interviews and had to pass aptitude tests before we graduated.

In hindsight I wasted 3 years of my life undertaking the course and another 3 years after that waiting for the 'call'.
