What did you study?

Or indeed, what are you studying in LIT?

I did business studies and computer applications from 1997 to 2000. Repeated 2nd year, and didnt do much better 2nd time round.

I would be very interested to see are there any users here who I know.

Did this course as well (2002 - 2006). Very few people from our class which was the first to graduate ended up in anything remotely related to forensics. In saying that, one girl got a job recently in the Medical Road Bureau service so i guess that's kinda similar. Majority are working in pharma labs or continuing study in Phd's or Masters!

All in all though, it is a good course as long as you face up to reality that you won't be doing CSI work of any kind afterwards. Basically its an Analytical Course which gives a good background in instruments, most graduates would find jobs easily (if available) in any testing lab here or abroad.

Hey, you must know Bridget and Tony so!

Half of my class seems to be working in shops until they find something, only about 4 or 5 have gone on to do a postgrad, that's the way I've gone, and I'm getting paid to do it so it's grand!

Ya i know Bridget and Tony. That's a shame that half are working in shops etc. If you can get your foot in the door its half the battle.
