no, i'm not being facetious, though I'm sure Android will have some smartass comment to make

You're very knowledgeable about all this francois. It's not the first time you've had balls swinging in front of your face, is it?

Is mise le key

Im in the same boat as scuba here, straight to work after leaving cert, no chance of college for me as the rave, e's & the OLYMPIC had almost scuppered any chance of me finishing the leaving, wasnt talented enough on paper to be allowed in mind you and i dont regret anything ive done.

I do hunger for knowledge & education so self motivation is the order of day for me.

still trying to get in to med school. had my first attempt at the dreaded exam there a few weeks ago.....7 hours of an absolutely traumatising horror. results out tomorrow but i doubt i'll get it first time considering i tried to get everything (up to first year uni of biology, chemistry and physics) into 3 months of studying. feeling psyched that i actually managed to follow through on the plan, and will almost definitely get it on my second/third attempt. Can't bloody wait to get back to college, a minor miracle may mean it'll be only a few months away.

well by gum, looks like that minor miracle actually happened and I scored a 61 on the gamsat (the bastard of a test you have to do to get in to graduate medicine)....UCD was 60 last year and they've increased the amount of places for next year so it's looking most probable that I'm off to become a doctor in 3 months time......
God help us all.

Fair play man.

I know everyone says college is the best time of your life. But, to be honest, while I'm having a fucking ball during my time in college, it has nothing to do with college. The SU is Trinity is full of cunts that are solely there to have it on their CV. The Ents officers skim 10,000 a year on the stuff they run, and the stuff the run is solely aimed at 1st years from the country who have never been to a nightclub in their lives, and the societies are full of people that aren't good enough at their hobby to do it outside college.

Yeah I'm cynical, but I believe that the only good part about college is the fact that you don't have a job. The thing is, I don't want to ever have a job I wouldn't happily spent 100 hours on a week, and I'm gonna spend the next 10 years trying to make that happen. So in my head, college isn't going to be the best time in my life, because at the moment, it's the only thing stopping me working towards getting a job making money out of the shit I do when procrastinating from college.

I enjoyed college immensely while I was there but as for wanting to revisit that tme in my life? No a hope in hell. I've a different set of priorites in life now I suppose.

Nah, the world isn't actually going to end until october 21st or something. The people who God favours will be brought up to heaven tomorrow while the others will have to wait around until the universe is extinguished in October. After that everything will cease to exist. The thing about this prediction is that if you are not in God's favour when you die you don't go to hell you just no longer exist in any spiritual form which would be what atheists believe anyways and if you are in God's favour you have to hang around heaven forever. That's got to get boring after a while…

Won't somebody please think of the children!!

Fair play man. Can't say I'm very surprised though. Just from knowing you on Boards and meeting you the once, you seem to be a fairly focused dude. The amount of knowledge you gather about anything at all that takes your interest is unreal. (and makes you a right PITA to try arguing with!)

If you're celebrating in town tomorrow night and heading to the TP, give me a shout. I think you have my number.

Some wise words there Frankie. I have to say - I like the way you see things, in a lot of ways I would have liked to be able to see the world like that.

It wasn't me though, I didn't like college either - I think I'd been expecting a lot more from it, I just saw it as a waste of my time. The main thing had always been having my own money, I'd always had jobs as a kid (cutting grass, milk rounds, then at 16 the local chipper), and at 19 I was just unable to sit in college for so many hours a week and be learning so little, while at the same time earning so little. There was no silver spoon, parents were really stretched with 3 of us at college age. I thought that college was an extremely slow way of getting where I wanted to go - this was the late '90s, I was studying Applied Science (computer science option), was only sitting in front of a computer for 3 hours a week. I got a job in a software house during the summer after first year, and during those 3 months I learnt a hell of a lot more than I did in first year. It was an easy decision in September not to go back.

But it wasn't all about the money. Money just meant being able to do the things I wanted to do at that age - buy records, buy drugs, buy clothes, eat out, go out with mates, go on holidays. Plus it was boom times, by the time I was 22 I was self employed and earning as much as I did when I was 32 (I.T. had our own recession early 00s, have been insulated a bit from this one).

I made the decision to not pursue music after the PLC in sound engineering. I didn't see where the money would be coming from - our lecturer didn't exactly inspire us - basically if we wanted to grind out a career, it would be for very little money recording sh*tty Dublin rock bands who's music would p*ss me right off, and then go out to work at gigs and get the eardrums burst and eventually go deaf. We got some studio time as part of the course, I made some techno tracks (Atari ST, cubase, some crappy synths), but it didn't come naturally, was pretty forced - I'm not the creative type. And as for DJing? Not exactly a career option either. (Think digital DJs are ten a penny now? Everybody and their granny had a set of decks mid to late 90s).

If you can hold onto that dream of getting a job that you'd be happy to spend 100 hours a week on - fair play. There's no way I could have lived 10 years (and 10 of the best years of my life) with little or no cash. No way in hell.

Same here. Was it Kevin st by any chance?

As soon as I sat 1 class I knew I'd picked the wrong course. I'm surprised I even lasted 4 days tbh. I still don't quite know what I was thinking when I filled out my CAO form.........especially seeing as I hate computers. I can just about manage to do internets.

Yea was indeed. I'd initially accepted Computer Science in Trinity, but reckoned it would be too much up it's own ar5e, talked to someone doing the course and it didn't sound great. But yea same - on the first day in Kevin St I knew it was a mistake - I was doing leaving cert Physics (2 years in school distilled into 1 year in college), Business Studies, French.... My mistake, only myself to blame for taking that course and not going to Trinity. It's only a slight regret really though, I didn't fare too bad once I left - and after working for 3 years the dot com crash came - the people who stuck out the degrees struggled to find jobs, whereas I had 3 years experience and a nice daily rate.

old gregg

in my case I dropped out of school at 17, had a habit by 19, screwed everything up for several years, almost died, got wake up call on way to hospital, started turning life around, went back to school, studied Training & Development, started one of Ireland's first Internet companies in '92 as lifestyle business, started to do music again, went back to uni to do Philosophy in '05, music started to take off for me in '06, semi retired from the business, still on break from Phil course due to travel, enjoying doing music and playing festivals and being broke and depressed during every winter (as an Aussie who can't stand the winter), thinking of going back and finishing the Phil degree this autumn, enjoying that my son started uni this year and is so much more copped on than I was, exhale
