So, at the not so tender age of 28, I have finally bit the bullet and decided to jack in work and take myself away from all the shit for three years at university. Come September, I'll pack my bags and head down to Plymouth for a degree in marine biology and oceanography. A few things worry me though, answer these points for me please: * How hard / easy is it to live of student loans? * Is it a good idea to get a job of some sort? * Those who have been to university, how easy did you find it to get a job in your chosen field afterwards? * Is there actually anything to do in Plymouth? Not too sure if I will be a success at this point, so please ease / enforce my current situation if you have any experience. thankyouplease. |

plymouth is pretty isolated. but at 28 you're far more mentally prepared and equiped to deal with things in general than at 18. you may also notice there are no buildings over the age of 60 years due to it being flattened during the war. a part time job a couple of nights a week would ease your money worries no end if you don't mind working behind a bar or something similar. good luck anyway i hope you enjoy yourself, don't get too caught up in your studies. |

I can't offer advice to you but best of luck in your degree bob. |

Buy as much dope as you can and sell it to your class mates (18 year olds suddenly seperated from their dealers!), you should be able to live off the profits for a while. |

yeah my mate thought that for 6 months until the cops busted our flat at 8 o clock in the fucking morning and searched all of us. he got 3 months, fucking pig bastards. as if they have nothing better to do. |

moneywise, i just worked all summer before my first year, then lived off of that money + student loan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm getting prepared by quitting my job and doing nothing all summer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
it's only this student loans money thing that puts me off going back to university. it's not as if i have anything else to do, or any commitments. |
||||||||
|

|
|
8 o'clock in the morning?! Those bastards have no respect for the students lifestyle! |
||||||||
|

good friend of mine who lives down the road (and that's something cause out here it's very very sparsely populated) is going to college in plymouth studying "construction design and the environment" or some shite like that. i'll tell him to look out for 'bob'. he deals some good weed. |

my sister's husband is a marine bioligist. he just secured himself a nice job managing a trout farm outside of glasgow in scotland. i just applied for uni next year in social dynamics. it seems like the only worthwhile thing to do at this stage in my life. |

Is anyone here a marine bioligist?!!! |

How do people know what they want to do? How can someone possibly know all the different kinds of jobs there are out there and what the daily life of one is like? |

When I was at university this rich Japanese guy used to say "Let the sex flow", I think we all could learn something from that. |

money talks and bullshit walks? |

Exactly. And he liked noise jazz. This was 10-12 years ago. "I am baddest DJ" was another. |
||||||||

you've been prioritising your american and british english |

the thought of knocking out a shit load of weed has crossed my mind actually. i dont smoke weed anymore, so i wouldn't sample the profits. to be honest it is just the money thing that is worrying me. i love money. does that make me shallow? |
||||||||

Do it.... You will become freinds with lots of 18 year old girlies, he he he |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but you will be living in a port town so you probably wont be able to do it for very long!!! |
||||||||
|
|

Good luck, your going to a good place to do oceanography and marinebiology. (at least it's by the sea, unlike some others which do the course). |
