Claire1456

So, all you future 6th years. What are you all planning to put on your CAOs in the coming months?

not sure yet but accounting will definitely be one of my choices...wbu?

Sucette!

Pharmacy I think

A7XGirl

Hopefully Screen and Film Media in UCC. And if not, Arts in NUIG

Claire1456

For me, I think Financial Maths and Economics in NUIG or else Commerce and French in NUIG, DCU or UL.

shootie

Best of luck young 'uns.

Joe95

Screen and Film Media in UCC, Psychiatric Nursing in UCD or cabin crew in Dublin, not sure yet.

Would absolutely love to do Veterinary in UCD!
But if I don't get enough points, maybe Animal Science in UCD and then graduate entry to veterinary

Journalism in DCU has been what I've really wanted.
But I was strongly considering Marketing in DKIT as that would lead to a (hopefully) more stable career. And then do volunteering in radio and stuff on the side to have another (more preferred) career choice

IT is what I want. In I.T blanch

Interesting!

Ideally I'd like to be a pilot, but the chances of that happening are slim.

In terms of CAO choices, not sure yet. Leaning towards Theoretical Physics or Physics with Astronomy.

I'm thinking of doing BESS in trinity because its quite broad and I'm not sure what I want to do after college but I have no idea of any other courses i want to put down

Is it a good idea, or am I just being awkward?

Reading the CAO thread is making me real excited for this time next year, can't wait to be done with school and living your own life, studying something you're actually interested in

I'm thinking of putting Pharmacy in RCSI first on the sheer fluke that I might get 555 points, I really would like to do it as a career but I am not expecting to get that many points so my hopes won't be too high BESS in Trinity is another I'm seriously considering, the broadness of the course looks fab.

When is the deadline for cao in 2014?

pajc

actuarial and financial studies UCD

CAO is a college choice, not a career choice

I'm considering doing something with Business and/or computers and yeah I've heard that this is possibly the worst time to study business but still

That's the only thing that's going to keep me going during this year, knowing that the chains will FINALLY be released form my aching hands.

Course-wise I was thinking about music in DKIT or UCD.

Remember (this might be cheesy but it's true) to look into your heart and follow your passion and you won't go wrong.

I think it's a great idea, many career prospects and keeping all doors open!

*sniffs money*
*heads in that direction*

Ive no real idea at the moment. Focus on getting the points at the moment so when I do pick the points race wont leave me red faced.
Maybe business,physics, science,pure law or pure maths EDIT: may as well throw in Computer Science as well. I am open minded.

As for careers I have no idea. I wanna travel after college. Set up in a country for 5 years and then move on.

I am probably one of the people who have left after college even if our economy wasn't tanked.

During the boom I wanted to be an engineer. The big SUV's, the big houses :D. Not anymore.

Really I just want to do something with good money, I like and will let me live an active and happy life.... also itll have to pay for my future Corevette

MSISS in Trinity sounds like a good course for you

Well. The demand for business courses in nuig and ul have raised along with the points, also commerce with a language has risen. Therefore, a higher demand this year for business courses!

torn between Radiography and Accountancy a big contrast in the pair , i know :rolleyes:

damoPL

CompSci, Nanotech or Electrical Eng., not sure whereabouts though....

Computer Science in Trinity for me. Points seem to have stabilised after last year's ridiculous jump, so that's a plus.

At least some of that would have been the bonus points for Hons Maths, so a once-off on that front at least.

First of February, and first of July is the change of mind deadline!

Medicine is going to be my goal . I'm working my ass off and it's paying off. Ucc would be great also.

Number 2 would be pharmacy or something science orientated at least.

I'm studying the ukcat as well to keep my options open.

Computer Science/& Business (TR033/TR082). I'd much prefer Computer Sci. & Business from the career aspect - all of the main Computer Science elements are studied within the course, same with the Business section. I'm tempted to go all-out and just put these two, maybe CS/CSSE in UCD/NUIM and call it a day on the CAO - confident that it won't go the opposite direction this time 'round.
