I'd say get some work experience under your belt first. No matter how many papers that says you attended some classes and plagiarised assignments, nothing more can beat just general experience. I always think going the extra step is always beneficial when your company sees a huge potential in you - mainly in management.You can use your own advantage to get them to even pay your fees. Although it is good to get it over and done with when you're young, I believe waiting it out always helps. Plus think of the fees - HECS or up front still a god damn huge debt.
