The Best Of Luck To You Skink!

I found my course frustrating at first, but once you learn
to jump through hoops, it gets better.

"life without an education is shitty"

because it's so much better with education?

Papers don't get you as far as they used to, that's true.
Most CVs are filled with lies nowdays anyway....

Even though they supposedly check for lies...

Thanks guys!!!

I just want to have some qualifications, i got in on the
course for knowing what i am talking about and the portfolio
i took in.

I got an unconditional acceptance! : )

Nope. I have a job, which I risk daily by being here.

I suppose No qualifications if a tad extreme.

I got 6 C's at GCSE and that was only luck because I did
fuck all work. A-Levels I hadn't learned my lesson and got 2
U's and an N.

Hmmm, that's basically fuck all. I could've done a lot
better admittedly. I have my CAD training certificates
though. Woooo!

:D

I am generally happy though mate. I didn't like school to be
honest. I like learning but I hated the teachers and most of
the other pupils.

"I hated the teachers and most of the other pupils"

hmm, yeah, that can be unconvenient hehe. although i must
say i met quite excellent people among pupils and
teachers..although the problem i had is to pick university i
did only because my friends went there as well. i didn't
like it one bit and i will be sorry about that my whole
life. when i read (especially on this mb) about all kinds of
studies/courses people in foreign have makes me kinda sad we
don't have any of that here. i guess that comes with being
such a small country..ahh

To be fair there was a couple of nice teachers but they
didn't teach me. The music teachers at my school were
shockingly bad. They couldn't teach. They had a knowledge of
the subject but they were shit teachers. One of them was
just incompetent and the other had favourites.
The friends I have from school are great friends though and
I wouldn't change them for the world :D

Uni looked fun though :D

Shame about the way your Uni was picked. It's strange how we
can look at things in retrospect and see what we couldn't
then!

no, but it definatley helps. i've pissed away the last two
years of my life in crappy jobs, have gone through a bad
patch of depression, and achieved fuck all.... because i
dropped out of school twice, and now i want to go back :(

of course some people will get through regardless of
qualifications, and if you do, fair play to you, but for
most people, an education is a way on securing your future,
financially at least, if nothing else....

We had a couple of music teachers. One was ok, but I only
had her for one year. The other was one of the biggest
tossers I've ever met.

Not suited to teaching at all, a petty, spiteful man and his
knowledge of music was very limited. He knew loads about
classical, but that was it. I reckon he was a failed concert
pianist or something. He was so close-minded. He hated all
modern music, calling it simple and repetative and wrote off
dance music as "not music at all, it's just dun-dun-dun."

A real fascist prick about other things too. He admired the
koreans for imprisoning people for dropping litter and tried
to make someone pay to "replace" a pair of headphones they
threw to a mate about 4 foot away (there was a table in the
way) despite the fact the headphones were caught and didn't
break. His reasoning was, "It's only chance they didn't
falla nd break, you should pay for them."

I can honestly say the reason I didn't do music GCSE was
this man, and that it has probably slowed down my own music
making by a couple of years.

haha my old music teacher was a genious on the verge
on insanity, who smashed windows and threw chairs about, and
eventually had a breakdown and resigned in one of our
lessons. shame he was a nice guy really.

this is so true..

i dropped out of my courses 3 (three) times now :(
always the same reason, lack of motivation, because i wasnt
interested enough

but now i think i know EXACTLY what i want to do, and which
course to take, and i think that my 4th one will be a
success :)
