- Thread starter Andy_2003
- Start date
really. because you worked already so. i mean in belgium you wouldnt get funded if you had a job before your studies. anyway
Im 22 now. and i work in a lab and i consider this as decent. (i studied chemistry until i turned 18 and then regular school was over)

You think you'd be interested in what you'd be studying but you don't know what you'd be studying?
we call me grade 'A2'. dont know if its the same abroad...Andy_2003 said:
uni is 'A1'
and we have this thing that isnt uni. we call it 'high school' but its when you finished high school... and there you can learn about chemistry as well for example, but even much more detailed like (hope you understand?)

pieter, i think you mean polytechnic (? like 3years chemistry instead of 4/5 years at uni?)
i'm doing this 3 years in a polytechnic, it's called communication management, and then i choose the option journalism (besides public relations and commercial communications)
a couple of people from my school are your age. they choose this 3 year thing because it goes fast, and you don't have to study so much bullshit as at university. people of my school get in all kind of jobs (media, banks, big companies) and i guess it's kinda like thing you'd want to do (media technology sounds like a course i could have)
i dunno for england, but here only the first year is shite because you've too many stupid courses, but the 2nd and surely the 3th are very okay because of fewer classes, much practical, but usefull stuff and work training thing ...
3 years is really over in no time

Im at university now, just started 3 weeks ago. And i think its all well worth it. I mean, there are the exceptions where having no degree can still get you somewhere, or jobs that dont need a degree(such as playing music). But, if your planning to have a conventional and good paying job, university is the way to go and upstart your career. With no university degree, its a very risky business your getting yourself into. It might work for you, and it might not. Degrees can give you a better chance to make it work.

Yes, you need to go to university, if you're sure about what you want to be doing there especially. Face it, school sucks even if you like what you're studying. And work sucks. Very few poeple get the privilege of enjoying what they do. You need to do what you must do that is best for the long run irregardless of your enjoyment factor. If it's going to be three years, think about picking up some minor related work while you're in school at some point, something small so you can have something to show when you leave school that you're already in the field on some level. It will help you later getting the job you want. That is mainly because you've waited to go and you'll be older than others entering the field when you finish, and you'll need some experience to help you get the job you want over others.
Take advantage of this situation while you're living at home because it couldn't be made any easier for you to go than not having to worry about paying bills while going to school. That situation won't last forever so use it while you've got it.
Think survival, Andy, not enjoyment.

i dont agree with that last thing there trona.
i mean you cant enjoy your life when youre 35 the same way as you do when youre 22.
when youre 35 you got (probably) yer family, yer house to take care of (ok 'house' is the case for me, but me house is part of me freedom, part of enjoying my life)
when your young you can still live without caring too much about stuff.

I like school. All you have to do is work 50-60 hours a week for a couple of years, then you'll appreciate it more. Devoting all your time to reading stuff that interests you, a shame to say that "sucks".

Well, if you have a trust fund , then great. And if you have socialized medicine, then great. I guess not struggling comes much easier then, doesn't it?
dear andy, the thing is that if you don't go to uni you'll probably work many hours and get a crappy wage. if you do go to uni, you'll probably work less hours for a decent wage.
bare in mind tho, that this is not always the way. maybe you can manage to find a job that pays well without going to uni. but that's not easy at all.
me experience (from wathcing other people) is that uni-less you'll deffo work harder. me uncle is at the states and he works like 8-10 hours a day to keep the restaurant going. yeah, he makes decent money but he works like a dog.
it's up to you to decide really. personaly speaking, i don't enjoy "manual" jobs. i have no problem studying for something that i like. you must be interested in something, right?
and i can't quite see how uni is so bad. i mean i've learned tons of interesting stuff, stuff i wouldn't in any way have learned if i didn't study. i enjoy it. yeah, sometimes them papers are a bit of a pain in the arse but overall i have no major complaints.
anyways, just trying to help out. do what you makes you happy.
:Spin:
shit, that was pretty long...
