Uni is a laugh - but if you give up your current computer job to go to Uni - thinking it's gonna help you get a better computer job then think again m8.

You're far better doing an industry recognised course (CCNE/MCSE or some such shite) - now that you've got a job in computers you should be able to work yourself up from there.


And whilst we're on the topic - everyone's doing so well because GCSE's are F*KING EASY.

I did them about 11 years ago - and they were easy then. They're even easier now.

I remember some bloke telling me how much harder "O-Level's" were compared to GCSE's - and me telling him that he was full of crap. I changed my tune when I saw the O-Level papers he did.


Frankly, GCSE's/A-Levels and Degree's are all piss easy nowadays. The government has set a target saying that it wants 50% of school leavers to go on and get a degree. The WHOLE POINT of a degree is that it's too hard for all but the top 2% of the population - so it's something worth having.

I sailed through all my gcse's/a levels/degree without breaking a sweat - not because I'm a genius - just because you'd have to be some kind of complete moron to fail them!

Yeah, well done. Stats isn't really accounting, people I know that are good at stats are research scientests, normally biologists.

Cue old git

Im an old f***ker so I did 'O' Levels and I can't compare em to GCSE's. However, the shite I had to learn in school to get an O Level in maths and it was never ever used.
You would only ever need to learn all the crap I learnt so you could become a maths teacher and put some other poor suffering turds through the same hell I went through.

Seems that even that ain't true anymore. Seen some test Questions on the net and newspapers and I gotta say they were pretty damn easy.

Read in the paper today that a 6 year old passed a maths GCSE.

Puts it into perspective.

Goodluck to you 'newbies' tho...at least you aint coming out of school with 4 million unemployed and that bitch Thatcher running the country.:clap:

I remember they fucked up my maths paper when I took my exam all those years ago, and gave me the paper that included the coursework crap, but I had no course work coz I was lazy. So I started off with 25% missing from my final result (which means 75% was the highest I could get for those of you crap at maths) thus giving me a D nearly a C, I had no idea what the result would have been with the correct paper which included extra questions to make up for the lack of coursework, I decided that retaking my exam was worth neither the time nor the effort nor the money that a YTS worker couldn't afford.
I worked some shit low paid jobs after I left school but always seemed to have more money than my student friends to go out drinking with. But it worked out in the end, I applied for a job as a technician at a local leisure and entertainment complex, and beat 20 other applicants to the job who were all mainly students with their degrees, all thanks to my past experience and references.

LOL ignus

Forgot about that bit...GCSE's...Degrees...all very worthwhile but most employers ain't interested. They value experiance above qualifications...and the best qualification you can have is the one you should have been born with.....common sense.

I used to work for HMV & Virgin...music industry..lots of staff are part time students. You would expect that after the exams and they get their fancy degrees that they would then move on to the jobs/careers they have spent years at uni for.....LOL..forget it.

Most of em end up going full time just cos they can't get the jobs they were after cos they have no experiance DOH!

Apart from that...don't let me put you off :p

That happened where I work too, theres a childrens avendture playground type thingy, biggest indoor one in Britain I hear. Anyway the place is staffed by girls who are working part time while studying for exams. After their exams they go full time which is good for me as it gives me more time to chat em up. Usually to no success :(
