Guest honestrae95 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I genuinely think that Psychology, Sociology and Anthropology have very little value as employable degrees. They don't really help in the real job market in big businesses bar a handfull of HR jobs who all the management lot etc go for. They are good academic subjects and undoubtably not easy, but in terms of employability i reckon they are a bag of shite. This. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCaleyGoBallistic Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Modern Studies was the ultimate 6th year subject. Complete skive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) I didn't do modern studies at all. I keep losing on this thread. Our school didn't even have a modern studies option! Does this make me an even bigger loser? Or am I in fact immune from losing due to the fact that I couldn't possibly take it? All this talk about Higher English reminds me that I best do a bit of revision for it for Monday! I hate it. Yet I'm down to do Advanced Higher next year! In fairness though, speaking to a few teachers, they say that Advanced Higher is far more enjoyable. I guess this does all depend on whether or not I can scrape a B on Monday though.

H_B Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Sorry to spoil the fun, but i have found the thread in question, and VT got an A for Modern Studies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 You should read up on vikingTON's toys out of pram moment over his Modern Studies grade in S6. I lolled. Given I sat a crash Higher in the subject and secured a piss-easy A: swing and indeed a miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Aye, some of the rank arrogance is just painfully cringeworthy to read. Agreed: SweeperDee really should stop digging against his intellectually superior peers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Vt left the thread for a few days and the thread got back on track rather nicely. He is back and it all goes to shite. Good one dick splash. No-one is posting for your entertainment, champ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Given I sat a crash Higher in the subject and secured a piss-easy A: swing and indeed a miss. What was the subject you got a C in and threw a fit about, then? Was it History? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a C in the final exam, which was successfully appealed up to a B. Which has evidently had a devastating impact on my attainment in the field. Thanks for playing anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowdenLoyal Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm thinking of leaving employment next year and doing a Mechanical Engineering degree at Aberdeen or Herriot Watt. I will be 24 by that time and have 6 years industry experience (including oil and gas) however, I think starting in first year will be a good idea for me as a kind of refresher from what I done in my HNC in Mech eng when I was 18. Does anyone have any advice? I currently earn between 35-40k a year but work shifts and know I can earn much more with a degree in Aberdeen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Intellectually superior peers eh? Arrogance indeed. It depends on how you define 'arrogance': feel free to run your fingers over the words here, as this is where a good grasp of the English language comes in handy. If you define arrogance as an assumption of superiority without merit, then that's clearly your problem, not mine. If you define arrogance as an expression of superiority, then I'm more than comfortable to accept such praise. Only in Scotland is the expression of clearly defined superiority stigmatised, and I'm not in the business of caring about it. Gutted for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
