If any of you are planning to go to university for IT, i recommend you do an open university course instead from home, whack down 20hours a week on that with a part time job, 8 months later bang bang industry certified qualifications which means more than any uni degree you can get your hands on, and much cheaper

Stupid comment andeh. If you take a vocational course at university or do a placement year your almost certainly gaurenteed a job; provided you do some work. Studying hard for 3 years? First year is a piss-up and have you ever been to a uni halls / house ?? I wouldn't say much hard work gets done bar pre exam cramming.

Link to CommentPosted by wxHartigan from clanless on Aug 14, 11:40.

You have to look at it from the perspective of someone doing a course at uni like computer science or chemistry. Your not really going to get a job before you finish your degree in those fields, so any experience you get (Im guessing from working in a pub or retailers) will probably count for nothing when applying for your first job.

The only decent job experience for university students is the industrial year which is available for most courses now anyway (y)

Just to mention, if your not doing anything specific, university is pretty much rendered useless, my brother studied Computer animation and design and yet now he does business, as a telecom salesworker on �36k basic, he told me that even guys who come in with degrees it doesn't matter coz they train them all over again from the beginning. Obviously for subjects like law and stuff you wanna be going to law school etc but yeah you get the point. Although university is like the place where your life "really blooms" or something like that.
I've done alot of research on this stuff i mean i am quite unsure about what i want to do and what not but i get my GCSE results next week ;D h@h@

and since i want to go into the city (banking e.t.c) a physics degree will look nice and sexy, especially if its a first.

as for job experience, working over every holiday while your at uni helps to build up that experience and your CV

not to mention uni is straight up fucking AWESOME

- Just completed my penultimate year, im on a First Class which accounts for 40% of my degree so far (60% next year).

Every summer ive been working in a different job, gaining work experience. This summer im working at Allen and Overy LLP (Magic Circle Law Firm), in their Finance Department. I look to do Management Consultancy for a top accountancy firm (ie PwC) in London which requires a 2:1 or above from a top 10 university.

Uni is not only good for a degree, but its awesome for friends, girls and general BANTER.

If you get a 2:1 you are guaranteed (pretty much) to get on a graduate scheme at a major company, who pay you 20k a year for 2 years to give you management/HR/accounts (etc) training and then if you do well you get offered a job. Worst comes to worst, you get paid to gain experience and have something extra to shove on your CV. And besides, anyone who says Uni is worthless has clearly never been.

Disagree wicked, freshers week is genius, the girls are about as easy as it gets. They have just come to uni so mummy and daddy have been looking after them so they're not fat yet from drinking too much, further more because they don't drink much you just need to buy them one drink their hammered and will do anything. Furthermore all the new lads are completely socially inept so basically theirs pretty much no competition and plenty of gash to go round between the guys who no have a clue. Mind you by start of december girls have cottoned and they lads are starting to pose a threat. Moral of the story.

Get in there early.

im at kent studying business going into my thirdy year on a 2:2 which is shit, but im an idiot so meh.

after uni im jus going for any internship i can find thats half decent, then going for an internship after that for 6 months for 1 of the american trade industry firms (they rate uk university degrees higher than us degrees)

then im off into the big bad world.

student loan is the easiest thing ull pay back ever, its like ur parents giving u money. if u dont have a full time job by 25 years old its ignored, and if u leave the country straight after uni, after 2 years the debt is wiped.

tbh i kinda got lucky by inadvertantly going to 1 of my dads big balls for people in the trade (i was just there on holiday, power cut in the hotel meant i had to go along with my parents to it)

got talking to a lot of people there (plus my dad bigging me up) so i had a few people asking after me about possible career paths.

tbh i think if u ask at ur uni careers advice (same people u talk to about year in industry/post-grad internships) they might have some info, as i know people at Kent Uni who have either gone for wat im aiming for, or have done an exchange with an american uni, then got an internship that way.

worst comes to worst try the exchange method, we get a lot of yankees over for 1 year or 6 months, cud be a good bet

yeah, something like 25 years after graduating or when ur 55 i think - which ever is earliest, it gets wiped no matter how much uve paid off as far as i can remember. u dont pay anything until u earn 15k (probably about 15.5k now) and then u pay 9% of everything u earn over 15k, so if ur on 16k u pay £90 a year, 17k £180 a year and so on

willyfantastic, considering most people finish uni between 21-25 do you not think it was a bit stupid if u dont have to pay after ur 25? common sense?

94
