Result.
|
Phew, I passed the foundation course.
I'm on my engineering degree in September.
|
Now the fun really starts :)
|
Heh.. the alternative of having to do a Mc Job has been a good source of
strength.
|
|
|
Hold onto that happy feeling, it really helps once you get to the 2nd
year.
|
Yes, that's when things really get fun isn't it.
|
|
|
congratulations. I'm glad the hard work paid off.
|
|
x2. Enjoy, I'm sure you will.
|
|
Well done. The hard work has paid off.
|
Thank you. :)
It's a start.
|
|
|
Commiserations. 3 (or is it 4 as a sarnie course) years of poverty and mind
numbingly boring sums. Enjoy.
|
Yeh, I think I'll enjoy it though.
|
|
Followed by more protracted poverty, when you get a job, paying off the
loans.
|
As long as I don't get a Mc job, I'll be ok.
|
Besides, you're nothing until you're chartered.
|
Hmmm. That's a bit of a contentious statement. Never stopped me from
doing what I wanted to do.
|
You're right and the statement was somewhat tongue in cheek. However, in
my own case, at the company I work for, it has long been 'encouraged'
that engineers join their professional organisation and achieve
chartered status. They do pay the fees though.
|
|
|
Yeh, that would be a good thing to do I think.
|
|
Pointless exercise IMO. The Chartered Institutes are glorified
poor-mans clubs these days.
When I'm recruiting I show little interest in either membership or
chartered status; and this isn't just me...
Suppose it's worth pointing out I'm not chartered; but this is more a
matter of choice than anything else. I suppose if I was made redundant
I'd fill the forms in and attend an interview.
|
Well done.
|
|
|
On a related note: I might have to start repaying my student loan soon.
Arse.
|
I've just finished paying mine, 7 years after I graduated.
|
Don't get me started on that, either. I decided not to go to uni, but many
fiends from not well off families did. In the days of proper student grants.
|
Nice to have no debts.
|
You've paid the mortgage off too then?
|
|
I thought you had a mortgage?
|
|
|
Can't you just do another degree?
|
|
|
Well done. It's a shame you're not going to be doing a course that'll
be of long term use to you.
