Leaving Cert '11/'12 Off-Topic 2

Togepi

I have no idea what job I want to do but I keep deciding against doing different degrees because I wouldn't like the job you get out of them. Which is kind of silly 'cause you never know what you'll end up working as. :cool:

What degrees are you interested in?
I kind of know more about what I want to do more than last year and applied to some courses I wouldn't have liked. I know more this with repeating having that extra year to have a look.

Are people picking the job first, then a degree that will get them the job, or is everyone just doing a degree they'd enjoy and deciding on the job after? Which is better?

I'm nearly sure I wanna teach Business & Economics after college. But, I want to try Law and see how I like it, seeing as my Aunts are all Solicitors and i've been listening to them talk about the Legal System/Court etc. for as long as I can remember. I'm gonna try a BCL with Business & Economics. See how I get on, if Law isn't for me after a year, i'm still gonna qualify with a B.Comm (Business & Economics) which allows me to teach in a School! It's kinda worked out nicely for me. Hopefully.

Arts/languages/sociology/psychology degrees mainly, and then a couple of others that are completely different. :cool:

And I'm interested in teaching and design too.

@PictureFrame that's so lucky!

While we're talking F&HoR does anyone know if they can ask the diagram of the Bomb Calorimeter?

Possibly but its hasnt been asked yet I dont think... However the diagram for fractional distillation column has been asked before!

Oh my God this girl I follow on Twitter (I hardly know her but it'd be rude to unfollow her) is so annoying, not even exaggerating when I say she has never once made a tweet that is not depressing.

Right now shes doing one of those #20thingsaboutme, which I hate as it is, but theyre all "im so insecure" when this morning, she was talking about becoming a model.

oh my god.
I actually cant.

Patch Unfollow... you know you want to :P Be unmannerly for a change :P

Canard

I...cant! Too...friendly... :P

Togepi

Block her. :pac:

Canard

Hahaha I always do that to make it look like they unfollowed me first :cool: But if I ever hung out with her again, awwwwwwwwkward

Togepi

Lol, you should able to hide tweets from people without blocking them. Million dollar idea right there.

Canard

Ahhh I know! The one good feature of FB :cool:

Also, you know sh1t's goin' down when the maths question says "Hint" :L :L

Togepi

It always scares me when it says hint.

I prefer when it says prove this is equal to that - it's like having the answer at the back.

Canard

It is

But I hate when you get it wrong and cant follow the marking scheme...the true meaning of failure

Not being able to answer a question while staring at the Marking Scheme has become an unwelcome but reqular occurence lately :eek:

Canard

Oh, thats what I meant - dont think for a second I could do it any other way :P

1. Civil Law & Economics
2. 4.5/5 hours usually
3. Nope, you just have to do it :pac:

Canard

My studying tips would be quality over quantity - come up with little tricks to remember things. Historykitten taught me these so I cant take credit, but I had sooo much trouble remembering tax forms in business til she taught me them in 5 seconds :pac:

P60 = End of year tax form, i.e. 60 is a full rotation.
P45 = You've had two employers, you never completed the full term with one
P21 = Tax returns form - like presents on a 21st birthday
P12A = You get it when you join the job, you're a young little 12 year old :P

They might not even be totally correct, I'm hopeless at remembering nitty gritty details like that, but you can definitely study better instead of longer
