I would rather spend the rest of my life busting my ass then ever go back to school again..... I occasionally go to 4 day certification courses (for propgramming and so-on), but no real school for me....Hate it, hate it, hate it.

One mistake mate........

School.........load of shit.....old fasion facist teachers who had no faith in me.

University (Phd).........can study what i want.......get paid a normal wage to do it.......student card = lots of cheap stuff (most particularly cheap flights).........and last but not least........cheap beer (and pool) right next to where i'm gonna work.

Hated school as well. But then found a lecturer who actually had faith in me. Now i'm doin a friggin Phd. Would have been in the forces now if the old bastards at school had their way (Not that theres anythin wrong with workin in the forces)

Latas.....p x

All good reasons :)


I would still rather wok any day :) I like my job these days. Im a programmer and a web developer, almost completely self taught. Every time i make something, i get 100% credit for it. :)

Different strokes for different folks. Oh, and congrats on your PhD. That DOES impress the shit out of me :) (No sarcasm)

Cheers mate.

It is like workin anyway. You still gotta put in eight hours a day in the lab at least. Only think is you gotta work evenins writin up as well.

I'm jus gonna treat it like a job though cos if i get too stressed with things, i usually go down hill and i dont wanna be put in that padded room again (joke, joke).

Should be good. Gonna also do some night courses. Wanna do somethin like basic Spanish but also wanna do a course like web-design for beginners (if that exists). Always wanted me own website.

Latas.....p x

web design is good stuff :D From what i have seen, most schools offer some sort of introductory course.

What is your major? Just curious.

Can you learn that sort of thing online then??? Go a lotta time on my hands at the mo.

Embarassing.......just had to ask my mate at work what HTML stands for. Clued up now though.
