University
 

Hey all,

I thought I would start a thread to see what people are doing at uni, or what they plan to do or what they want to do for a career :) Thought we could get a good discussion going

I'm not really going to one yet, just studying for a GED right now. :P

I don't even know what I'm going to study when I do go there. Infact, I'm not sure a community college counts... and that's where I'll probably be going.
I have the foresight of a fruit fly it seems.

I'm going to go train with Al Qaeda.

I'm going to do Music and History and ICT and maybe English for A level. No idea about university though.

Computer science.

Yes! (only 4 characters vicar?)

Studying Computer Hardware / Technician courses right now, networking, security, all kinds of fun stuff.

Though I also want to go to Uni/College for Massage Therapy now, ugh. :rolleyes:

Sweet lol hehe why am I not surprised you would be studying Computer Science Danny hehe. I have a really good friend here who is doing that....he loves it, very interesting. Hehe to scientific for me :P

I am planning to start a Bachelor of Social Science (Emergency Management) in July. It
focuses on the principles and practices associated with prevention, preparedness, response and recovery associated with emergency situations and emergency risk management. (Eeek)

I'm starting college in september for "Study of popular music".

lulz computer science isn't science its l337 haxoring.

I knew you sounded cool.

I resent the fact that "computer science" has come to equate with "computer programming." I'm very good with computers, but programming is not the field I want to study or go into. Yet I have to take three years of computer programming to get my degree. WTF?

Damn straight.

I want to study Civil Engineering at Edinburgh University and then become a chartered engineer.

I am currently studying a four year sandwich degree in Off Road Vehicle Design at Harper Adams UC and hope I can become a Design Engineer afterwards.

lolzors I want one :D

well it's paid for me, and i earn money working during it, and i get my own place :D

Engineering sandwitches?

I am going to go out on a limb here and assume you are not familiar with Sandwich degrees, but if you are then please correct me and i can edit this post with something more humorous

Basically a sandwich degree for Engineering courses is a year spent working for an Engineerng company appropriate to your course. For off Road it would apply to comapnies like JCB, Terex or Case New Holland, obviously it;s to help gain experience, something for the CV and to open up a chance for a permanant job at the cmpany once you graduate. HND people have thiers second year, with one more year back at Uni before graduation. I am doing a 4 year course so next year I am at Uni then off to seek a placement. I get paid to do it, and I get my own place.

That sounds pretty neat, actually. Sort of like training with Al Qaeda except you don't get put on terrorist watch lists. I was going to say 'except it's legal', except I recently discovered that it's actually legal to train with them as long as you don't fight for them, which is sort of funny.

Well although it's nice to know what it means, it also kinda ruins the fun of the sandwiches :P

Quite a fatal loophole in the law it would seem :(
