Sergeant Wilson Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Never heard of half the posters on here, but they are crawling out the woodwork to tell us about their degree. I left school and started at the bottom. I liked it that much I stayed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards to PhD's, my uni flatmate did his BSc Hons in Astronomy and Mathematics. He then went on to become Dr <Surname> by spending three years working on solutions to some of the most fiendish equations related to Einstein and De Sitter's (among others) model of General Relativity. After that, with a career in astronomy for life beckoning, he went and worked for Strathclyde Uni in their property department! I've only seen two, both of which were facetious.

I'm really with my life choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I never got a degree, went to University but spent the whole time in the pub. I regret it and should go back, but I reckon I'd just do the same as I'm an irresponsible buffoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Happy? That was indeed what I meant, and it was meant sarcastically for the avoidance of doubt. But I guess it beats be one of those other wee b*****ds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Left school halfway through 5th year with 8 standard grades as I was bored so left as soon as I turned 16 and started a job that week. Did a few vocational courses and training days here and there over the course of my working life and in 2011 went to college at night to study accounts as it compliments my job role. Been working for 17 years now, only another 34 years until I can get my statutory state pension (unless they abolish or increase the age limit before then...). Considered university a few times over the years, but never seriously enough to go through with it. More a passing fancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_62 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I left school with 10 "O" grades and 4 Highers and went straight into a job where I've been knocking my pan in ever since. Paying Income tax and National Insurance, just so you work-shy, lazy, drugged up, alcoholic, tax dodgers can have the times of your lives dressing in the most ridiculous clothes, hanging around with smelly, pimply drug dealers, thinking you're oh so smart, graduating and then doing f**k all apart from moaning about how you'll never pay off your student loans. Thank You. Thinking about doing an OU course...any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The age limit for a statutory pension will probably be 70 by the time our generation get to that age. An absolutely depressing thought but the fact i knew when i graduated i would still have 35 more years of tough slogging ahead of me was one of the main reasons i went to uni despite having it in my head that i was too old for it when i was 24/25.
