Same here! Only thing putting me off is the distance between Trinity Halls and the College itself and the costs of transport daily

They look pretty good though, know some people there this year and they all seriously recommend it!

Currently nursing a Cao induced headache, been set on Law all year and now starting to love the idea of psychology

Never mind Law or psychology, I think you've just mentioned your one true vocation

I was never told that. To be quite honest I believe there will always be demand for people with CS degrees. Technology will always be developing and improving. But I'm happy enough to emigrate anyway.

I'm not trying to dissuade anyone, what i mean to say is that's what people were told about architecture 10 years ago, but if someone wants to go into CS because they like it, not cause there are large employment opportunities ATM, go for it.

Yeah, this whole thing of picking IT and computer science is ridiculous! Every student in the country is being told the same thing, there are going to be too many people qualified in computers in 5 or 10 years, more than there are jobs, half of these people are going to end up emigrating or on the dole, I reckon!

I dunno, whatever about the employment prospects, admittedly people used say "Sure we'll always be building new buildings, we'll always need architects!" but with Computer Science it's very much so a marmite subject I do think you should love it, if you haven't a clue what you want to do it ain't computer science! Also while everyone talks about a demand for programmers there's a demand for GOOD programmers, and you really have to like it to be good at it! Like it's not like Law or something where when you have a degree that's half the battle fought, CS is all about your talent, like you could have degrees and certs coming out of your ears but another programmer who's never went to Uni could get the job instead because s/he is simply better at programming!

I don't actually know whether that would motivate you for LC (maybe!) but it's well worth a watch at some stage.

He was quite an inspiring guy, not to mention quite funny, with a definitely unconventional take on academic life / lots of things.
