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)

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.

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.

Preacher 08-23-2004 05:14 AM

Yeah, i think HTML would be a cake walk :)

Preacher 08-23-2004 05:25 AM

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.
