Did you learn anything at uni?

[Stumpy Tim]

seems the only thing you learnt lofty was how to spout shit.

Colin, I am now going to call you Lofty for the rest of your days. Quality.

University taught me a load of stuff, though the undergraduate course I did only has a small bearing on what I do now. But I went to York, so was miles from home and it taught me a real sense of responsibility. I also learnt time management skills & stuff that can't really be taught. My Masters degree was bang on for what I do - Secure E-Commerce. That taught me loads that I still talk about to this day. Undergraduate courses are there to show employers that a person can stick out a course for 3/4 years, and sometimes they're relevant for work. A Postgraduate degree is where you learn more relevant stuff.

The reality is that an undergraduate degree gets you a good job. But, once you've got that first job it's all about experience. Otherwise people with degrees would become Sales Directors straight away - that never happens because you have proved nothing.

For what I do, my boss taught me more in his first 6 months than I have learnt at any time in my life

yer, you're right maths and physics students are stuck in shit, boring jobs in accountancy/software development/audit etc whilst media studies students are in creative interesting jobs like producing/directing/writing.

that's my post of the week,almost anyway, surpassed only by nobby's lozenge or whatever he's called moh he's full of shite!

and for me, direct relevance yes.

[Simster]

why are you quoting yourself, afters, you gimp?

My degree was f***ing shite - I chose the wrong subject and thought half the lecturers were a waste of space. However, the whole Uni experience was very worthwhile. I wish I'd done a course where I was motivated to learn - I should have done an IT degree with a foreign language. Business Studies was rubbish.

It's never to late for that second career in literature to get underway y'know. On this evidence, the talent is all there...

The horror, the horror... Listen, you pipsqueak pyjamad ponce: being humiliated by members of the Navy (they can stick their "Royal" up their funnel) who bored from the effects of far too much rum, bum and concertina has been an integral part of NSC since Lance the Cannarian had me drinking Traffic Light cocktails in the Gloucester. I can live with it.

You can f*** off 'nall!

 

[Trufflehound]

But I get paid well for it...

I get paid a pittance to spout shit. Clearly I'm doing something wrong...

where is the "i didnt go as i enjoyed earning a living and following the albion all over the country instead" option

 

[Lethargic]

I went to University at the age of 26 after serving in the forces so not your usual workshy teenager. I use about 1% of what I learnt on my course. Unfortunately in IT to move up the ladder the degree title is more important than the stuff you learn.

And I learnt more about life in the forces than I ever learnt at Uni. Still it was a laugh to get some of my own tax back

Now I've worked with you and this mystify me - responsibilities, time management not words I would associate with you. You were always late for work and skiving off.
Now you are going to have to work out who I am but I used to work in Reading near the station!!!

oh my this thread just gets better and better

I learnt that:

1) You should never drink more than three lobsters (snakebite and black with three vodkas) before you leave to go out.

2) Betting 50p a race on Mario Kart whilst getting blazed is the most fun one can have with their clothes on.

3) Putting marmite and cheese on crackers and microwaving it is probably the best munchie food in the world.

You won't believe how into it you get, especially once you're in the zone.
