so im curious... its coming to that time of year where people are milling about Queens in their school uniforms and the whole exam thing is looming so what does everyone want to do? do people want to go to uni or go into a trade or courses?

ooh and another question.. what does everyone want to be then when they grow up? :)

dont talk to me about uni in the middle of the whole UCAS waiting for offers etc even had to go to Jordanstown on sat to sit a three hour exam to see if I can do one of the courses that I want to do - not good!!!!

Total stress anyone who hasnt reached u6th yet start your personal statement as soon as you can ie the end of lower 6th time flies when you need to have it in!!

end of lower 6th.??!!! is that possible? oh and is the personal statement similar to the cv?

1 annoying thing i find now is that the government is pushing evry1 to do courses at uni - useless or not while they r raising the price!! plus there seems to be the increasing opinion that if you dont go to uni ur a failure, not enough emphasis is put on trades.

the thing im most worried about is payin for uni and the only job i want 2 do has very poor pay. im not sure if i want to say wot it is coz i think ill let my identity stay a secret :ph43r: work experience was class though. :)

well as long as you enjoy it then money shouldnt be a big factor! :) yeah it annoys me, especially in the academy that there isnt enough emphasis put on going into a trade, or going on to tech to do your HNC, HND or other courses!

my uni course has nothing at all to do with the jobs im applying for but i really am enjoying the course! so its all good!

and here!! never ever worry if you dont get the results you're looking for and get rejected from your uni courses... it all works out in the end! i got rejected then got accepted unconditionally the next year without even resitting an exam! :D

McD's degree, in what eating unhealthy food??? You can also do a degree in David Beckham not like to many people are signing up for that one!!!

You think your bad off I dont have a job, im heading off to uni next year and if I can get into my course I still wont be able to get a job because my course will be form 9 to 5 5 possible 6 days a week and when I go on placement I can be sent anywhere in northern Ireland. So yeah my life is gona be great next year with having to pay for my course, my accommodation, food etc with no income.... As you can tell i really not lookin forward to going to uni, infact if I didnt have to go I wouldnt but I do so I shall have to stop complaining!!!

P.S. I ment what I said about the personal statement!! If you are in lower 6th you will be getting a booklet in carrers soon about wrighting your personal statement, start it as soon as you can, I ended up wrighting it in a couple of days, but thankfull one of my mums friends was an English teacher so she was able to go over it and stuff, so it was all good!!!!

its not at all late to start! go get a voucher for superdrive and have a go! you get to drive an evo 4 and a wee mark 2 escort! funny as feck! plus when you look at it theres a hell of alot of rally drivers who dont start till theyre in their mid 20s if not later!

if you ever have spare cash do up a wee motor and rally her at novice stages, then when you start winning a few you'll work your way up! :D
