EASY EASY EASY. Its times like these i envy people on real course, like Alex !

Combined IT and Business ladies and gentlemen, the course for wasters and pissheads.

[the_bowman]

That seriously isn't fair...

I'm taking computing at A level... does that qualify?

I'm just pissed off that I paid towards your crap English classes at school.

My advice learn all that shiznit this year because everything you learn at A Level is what i have used at uni and have learnt nothing else in the last 2 years tbh.

Apart from a bit of Java coding coursework that you fobbed off to a bunch of random people on an internet forum

Thats a good shout, thats the only module ive actually learned owt in as that were summat id never done before.

Cheers again for that btw

[the_bowman]

Well I've still got my GCSEs!

Didn't mention that I hadn't started A level yet, my bad

But yeah, I'm taking

Maths

Physics

Computing

CISCO Networking

Hoping to do an astrophysics degree at uni, but I am really into computers and stuff so that's why I'm taking that kinda stuff.

Is Computing good anyway?

[Daggers]

Excellent choice.

A proper degree

[the_bowman]

Thanks

Not sure what I want to do afterwards though

sell prams, like a mate of mine decided to do after his degree.

Well, that's always one option.

But we had a talk from a University of Birmingham lecturer, and she said that about 30% of their physics graduates go onto work in finance.

Not wanting to sound big headed or anything, I'm on pretty good grades and I've been told I can do 'anything I want', so I think I'll probably consider that when I get my degree.

I went into teaching after jobs in industry, my mate did his doctorate in theoretical physics before working for New Scientist...and now he writes books from his house in France. Finance will always draw quality brains from Physics because they appreciate good minds and pay top money.

Just go get drunk for three years first

[the_bowman]

Erm, I might bear that in mind!

But yeah, I probably won't decide what I'm going to do until after I get my degree anyway

Thats the problem. Doing piss poor degrees then can't find a job after Uni?

Gets my back up

I got a Computer Science degree and I have to agree with that mate. I did the first two years with very minimal effort, for me I found the 3rd year very intense, the step up was massive so keep your head on and don't get too relaxed because you will need to work hard in the final year if you want a decent degree classification (which you'll need to be able to get a GOOD job).

The market is saturated with IT students with degree's who are crap so unless you stand out from the crowd with a first class honours or at the least a 2:1 you won't be on anything more than £20k unless your incredibly lucky. I got lucky and now work for a massive well known IT firm on a fat wage but many of my mates are stuck in the £16k - 18k bracket and have been for 3 years.

Sorry for the waffle mate, just thought i'd give you and anyone else in a similar situation a bit of advice
