Going to miss college

Mrs Garth Brooks

Im finished next week. With nothing to go back to in September.

What will I do? I loved it, will miss going to class and learning. Never want to leave. If I could stay there forever, I would. The year isn't long enough :-(

Is it acceptable to ride a lecturer when finished?

seamus

Go get a job, you bum!

Mr Benevolent

Hard luck, woman.

You can still watch Countdown and have baked beans for dinner every day if you like!

steddyeddy

I always thought of those last days of college ideal time to ride those I had my eye on in previous years!

A lad I know is 43 and has never left college. He signs up to new courses every time he's due to finish one. He has more letters after his name than he has had jobs which he's spent so much time becoming qualified to do.

Only if you went to all your lectures. You can't expect them to score those who just turn up at the last lecture you know :P

I can vouch for it GO for it girlfriend!

I've always had a fantasy of being with a teacher/lecturer. Nows my chance. How do I make this a reality?

Bit pointless though! He works his ass off doing jobs that he's way over-qualified for, just to become even more over-qualified. Make's no sense to me, but each to their own I guess.

Lol I've a cousin around the same age who's been doing the exact same thing since he turned 18, he chooses a different college each time as well, its like he's trying to break some sort of academic world record.

I was going to close this with a suggestion to start a blog or something.

Then I read this:

Reminds me of Seinfeld;


I have a friend who’s unemployed—he’s collecting unemployment insurance. This guy has never worked so hard in his life as he has to keep this thing going. He’s down there every week, waiting on the lines and getting interviewed and making up all theses lies about looking for jobs.

If they had any idea of the effort and energy that he is expending to avoid work, I’m sure they’d give him a raise.

I’ve never seen someone to such a tremendous job, not working.

Why don't you do postgrad? Then you could stay another few years depending on what you want from the postgrad; and then if you go so far you could be a full time lecturer/tutor/researcher, then you never get to leave!

steddyeddy

I would have only rode one of my lecturers. Sorry I didnt try!

I can't stand students who see themselves as perpetual academics - I lived with one before and she did my head in. She'd just finished her masters and decided she wanted to do something after that to postpone leaving college.

Get your qualifications and get a damn job.

If someone loves learning and supports themselves then why not?

Had a fit looking lecturer in my course who had enormous boobs and rarely wore a bra.

Nipples on her like the bolts from a ship.

Because they're likely to be taking up a space which could be filled by somebody else, and are unlikely to ever put the qualifications they receive to any practical use.

So learning for the sake of learning is something to be looked down upon?

Unless they're paying their college fees and have absolutely no grants, then they're not supporting themselves. Which I would imagine is a large chunk of students.

I love learning too, as do others. But most of us (thankfully) realize that at some point you have to actually put the learning to use and get a job.

No, not at all. There are other ways to learn though. I just don't see the point in doing it in a college setting if you don't intend on using the education to follow a career path, or at least put your formal education to use.

i just happen to be a lecturer....*

Very true plus If a person loves learning they can get into research in a paid capacity.

You can go to a library and learn all you want.

you can start by getting a life, one that doesnt ivolve sitting around all day scratching your m1nge. life is quite different from college, college life has more in common with being on the doel then it has with work. trust me, ive done both

You ever seen the crap most libraries stock. It's a pity as I am trying to self educate at the moment because I can't afford college and I realised most of the subjects I wished to educate myself on required me buying books.


And sadly books are not cheap

I'd feel sorry for the lecturer TBH...

Darkginger

Best job I ever had was at a university. I don't know if it's the same in Ireland (was in the UK at the time), but staff got vastly reduced tuition fees - so it was the best of both worlds - could continue my education whilst working at a job I enjoyed, that paid a living wage. Loved the people I worked with - academics and support staff, loved the surroundings (big out of town campus), had my own little office, there was a cake club on Fridays - ah...and I left it all to move to Ireland!

If you're hot he's probably already mentally undressed you and rode you in several different positions. He's probably also had you in a gangbang with the hot girls who sit next to you. Sure that's college for you; casual sex and some thinking.

You'd wanna be good though if he's correcting your paper.

Jaysus if 'twas only that easy to become a paid academic. Work is very thin on the ground.

But yeah, worth a shot, and I don't see anything wrong with people being in college for a long time either.

John Doe1

I'm in the same position OP. Might I suggest riding a random donegal man?:p

cloptrop

My boring life demands that you go try it on with this lecturer then tell us if he declined or not.
I must know if this lecturer has morals or not. If he is a man Id say not.
Sleep with him then blackmail him to pay your tuition fees for another year. Thats what Imogen Thomas would do and she is in the paper.

That type of attitude will get a great Arts degree and also get you into government in any Eurozone country.

"no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it."

Only once relieved of such forged paths if 'learning' can your education truly begin.

Unless he married or in a relationship, I should think the answer to that is fairly obvious.

You're such an amateur Dudess, you have to give the external examiners a good seeing to as well.

What information do you expect to find in a book which you cannot find on the internet?

Agricola

There something admirable about people who can stay in education for years and years. I was so stressed after getting a degree that the idea of going straight onto a masters and then maybe further would have done my head in. I'd love to be able to do it, but I don't know if I could handle the pressure. Maybe if im lucky enough to be able to retire early, I'll go back and do courses in things I have an interest in, not just career related subject matter.

He doesn't get any grants afaik, he pays for it all himself through savings and hard graft. He owns a few websites and literally doesn't stop working in his 'spare' time.

I wasn't trying to belittle or make fun of him for it fwiw, I mean it takes a lot of dedication and a whole lot of fcuking brains, I'd imagine. I just don't see why anyone would put themselves through the grind of it all, without ever really availing of what having the doctorates etc. they've worked so hard for brings. He's an extremely clever guy, so he could have just as easily taught himself about the stuff he has studied, if learning was the only thing on his mind.

There are quite a lot of books that haven't been thrown up on the net yet. The more specialised the topic the less likely you are to find much online. I can see the popularity of ebooks closing the gap though.
