After recently deciding to drop out of uni for the 3rd time (second course), I was curious as to how many of you have dropped out and how many attempts at uni it took to figure out what you actually wanted to do? Or am I the only one that can't get his shit together?
I tried a science degree twice where I failed 1st semester, so put it off for 6 months, then tried it again and passed, then failed 2nd semester so canned that one for good. Then I started nursing last year and made it into 3rd semester. I got to my first real prac experience and thought that cleaning up shitty arses and having to care for people and organise a million things at once was not really my thing.
How about youz cunts? There must be plenty of uni dropouts, given the demographic. :P ;D
-
Is there such thing as 3rd semester?
-
As in 1st semester of 2nd year.
-
Ah.
Edit: I have not had to drop out, although I don't intend on being a teacher forever.
-
Dont talk to me about Uni :P
UWA and ECU.
Was fun though.
:D
-
I will save Chewie from saying it..
GET A TRADE!!
-
I cruised through fairly well. But I knew that what I was doing was right for me. I think thats the key.
Regards.
-
I'm in "3rd semester" so we'l have to see how it goes ay??
-
ditto... only a matter of time before i fail horrendously.
-
Failed a couple of units here and there, but got through my 3-year degree in 4 years. *shrugs* Doing post-grad stuff now. Looking forward to earning money next year. (hooray for an income!!)
-
shutup you!
-
Ya bunch of bums! ;D
-
No, just me. ;D
-
Had an income first year outta school :) was ment to go to Uni but decided against it. Will probally go later in life, but right now, I dont need to

I had an income the day I left school. Never wanted to go to uni, never will.

Well I already had a job while I was at school.. :P
-
I dropped out of Curtin in semester 4 of my nursing degree. I couldnt stand wiping peoples asses and looking after elderly people which make up the majority of hospital patients.
I was more interested in the science side of things.
-
:( how come no nurses were wiping my ass when i was in the hospital
-
Uni Dropouts???.... what like Sam :P
-
because you weren't an octogenarian?
-
in first semester second year, changed course after first semester, changed after second, now im just gonna finish this degre......still dont know what i wanna do but
-
how many of you have dropped out
^ Here here.
I was training to be a secondary school mathematics teacher, but in the end I left and settled for working in a music store.
best decision I ever made :)
-
:( how come no nurses were wiping my ass when i was in the hospital
eww. i think wipin sum wrinkly old persons ass would be better than wipin some young guys, at least old people are usually too drugged up or hav demensia and so dont remember or dont care.
-
Also 2nd year 1st semester/3rd semester :P
I don't really care that much about it, its just going through the motions. I have no problem with the course, I'm just lazy and can't be fucked doing anything. Only failed the one unit so far. :D
I used to think that failing units/changing was really bad, but thne realised everyone fucks around with uni so much deferring/failing/changing/dropping out, so felt less guilty and decided to try less. 8)

A-fucking-men.
Though after my spell of failing, i've suddenly started doing real well. More HD's in a semester than I think I can handle :O

Its probably worth learning a trade over doing a wanky uni degree, you definetly get a job and make way more money.
-
I will save Chewie from saying it..
GET A TRADE!!
CUNT! all you fuckers stop stealing my lines.
i almost quit my apprenticeship halfway through. was sick of it and wanted to make some real money. got sacked anyway but picked it up again before 6 months and am now on the brink of being cunting rich....or failing badly.
-

depends on whether you wanna do what you wanna do and follow your dream,or do it the easy(?) way and become a tradie(unless your dream was being a plumber)

yea i just left my apprenticeship to get into another side of electrics an am now workin as a ta an im cleanin up, we will be goin up bush soon so im gonna be the richest young cunt i know
-
being a trade aint the easy way out :-/
we have to work our arses off if we wanna earn good money
-

Or if for example, you wanted to be an engineer...you get a sparky apprenticeshi, land a job with Rio, they pay for your Uni, you become an Engineer contracting back to Rio for like $7K a week..:lol:
I wanted to go to uni, got a job with Rio, and soon, I will go to uni part time, and they will pay for it, as long as the course I do benifits my role and/or the company
-

And Uni students have to work their arses off to get no money ;)

yea but theres a difference with studying hard for a test...an diggin trenches in 30 degree heat
but yea i get what ur sayin
-

Lol, it's not studying for 'a' test. It's (or is supposed to be) more like constant revision throughout the entire semester. When you get home from work you get to sit down and relax. When you get home from uni you get to revise, complete coursework, do assignments etc.
And if you're working a part time job, multiply suckage by 1000.
-
yea but im workin 11 hour days.. how long are u at uni a day??
-
their at uni for a fixed timeperiod but should study in their own time
trade aint the easy way. uni aint the easy way. they both will reward your efforts
-

as true as its gonna get
-
uni is the learning part.we havent even got into the actual work part.whos to say the resulting career wont require you to work 11 hour days?
-
thats true
also trade is a theory & practical thing. u learn stuff at tafe that you may never use in the field but if you enter that field you will need it. thesse can be expanded on in other courses at tafe and uni. i know several sparkies that went to uni first then became electricians. and vice versa.
-
ps any career thatrequiresyou to work 11 hours a day better be worth it $$$ wise. usually u work long hours at shit jobs for good money as a means to an end.
ive got a mate whos 30 and plans that as soon as he's paid his house off (5 years or so) he'll go down to part time work and live as he wishes
-
im not permenatley workin 11 hours but at this point i am
when were not on a deadline we only work bout 9 hours...unless were in the bush

Nah Simon, me too man. I dropped out of WAAPA doing the Bachelor of Performing Arts (Classical) course, fucking hated the place, the lecturers and the people. Now I'm worked as a fulltime daytimer at maccas jolimont with nick and ally.[smiley=cwm29.gif]
I'm going to uni next year for the second time, this time to get a degree in English so I can become a high school english teacher. ;D
-
theres this guy i work with (actually i tihnk he just got fired for drinking on the job) but he is doing a course at uni on geophyics, hes doing his masters this year, he works in woolies about 20-30 hours a week, he has a job at a mining company, he does SES (though i ithink hes put it on hold this year) he has a girlfriend who is going to have his first baby, and ontop of this he still manages to find time to have a social life and never seems stressed or anything
-
I am pretty much right on the edge now of either putting my head down and finishing my degree, changing course or deferring. Not sure what I'll do yet.
-
Listen to some emo and watch the footy?

Its probably worth learning a trade over doing a wanky uni degree, you definetly get a job and make way more money.
There are just so many things wrong with that statement.
1. "Wanky uni degree"? We work our ARSES off to get those degrees. Long nights doing assignments, not going out on weekends because of study for exams, assignments, study for tests. Spending hour upon hour in the library researching and reading.
2. "You definitely get a job." I am guaranteed a job at the end of my degree. In fact, since I am a maths and science teacher, I can choose which job I want because there is such a shortage of teachers for those subjects. Ok, some people may not get a job in their field right off the bat, but having done a degree, they have proven that they can work hard and get the job done, and are dedicated, hence even if they go for a job nothing to do with that degree, the employer is likely to hire them over someone straight out of school.
3. "Make way more money." Talk to my friends who have finished chemistry who have gone straight into jobs earning $70k - $80k, which will rise very quickly to over $100k in the next 5 - 10 years.
Before everyone who is a tradie jumps on this and attempts to kill me; this is not an attack on tradies, this is an attack on the ignorance of someone who doesn't know a thing about university life/the doors a university degree can open up for you.
Ultimately, people should do what makes sense to them: not what their friends say, teachers say, parents say etc. Just don't become a dole-bludger cause I am not fucking paying your wage with my tax, just so you can sit around watching big brother.
People who say they can't get a job just haven't bloody tried.
-
Well said :)
-
Nice one Kalika. ;D
-
took the words right outta my mouth Kalika :)
im at the pointy end of my 3 year BSc Metallurgy degree, and its been a bloody long 3 years. lots of math, chemistry, physics and everything inbetween (economics, electrical engineering, materials, hydrometallurgy etc etc). and as most people know from my ranting on this board last year, was that i had to live in kalgoorlie for the 3rd year of my degree. now i know alot of people would be ok with that, but thats definitely not me haha, missed more gigs, birthdays and general fun than ever before. not to mention that there were no decent women hehehe...
but the point is! I worked my arse off for 3 years and now ive got a job (not even my real qualified metallurgy job) that has a great roster/camp/plant/bunch of people and the money aint bad either :P.
but my brother scott is just about finishing his appreniship aswell, so we'll both be in the same boat, just from different routes.
oh and to answer the initial topic, nope never dropped out :)
-
I'm sure all the people who do your taxes, defend you in court, diagnoses your illnesses, and deal out your medication would have something to say about their degrees being wanky... and their incomes would have something to say about it too.
If you think standing around in the sun doing physical work, getting skin cancer is better than a job in an air conditioned office, you're crazy.
-
Depends what u are doing standing around in the sun getting skin cancer as opposed to what you are doing sitting in an airconditioned office.
-
yea it all boils down to what u like
hell i dont enjoy being out in the sun every day but its involved in the line of work i like
-
hmm....i must explain what i meant.
Im currently doing 4th year pharmacy and it involves way more work than most degrees (so i fucken know what it involves).
By "wanky" degrees, i mean arts etc (not law, med, engineering etc), my brothers doing one, he does no work and gets D's. I know so many people who are doing these random degrees and then changing and never going anywhere. All i was saying is that theres nothing wrong with learning a trade and there is a lot of work out there and a worthwhile option for many people.
-
my job qualified is indoors, outdoors and in labs. perfect ;D
-
if your working outdoor wear a cunting hat and sunscrean.
and i'll be on the $200k mark in the next couple
effort in effort out
-
yeah did a science degree at curtin. did 3 years of it - decided i didnt like it and switched over to civil/structual enginereing at UWA (but being someon who doesnt like to leave things unfinished i continued the curting science degree part time too).
Kalika & Teeman (thanks for the Opeth tix) - I completely feel your pain. Uni was no easy slog. In our degree (especially in final year when were doing our thesis) were at uni 9 - 5 every day, then have to go home and do assignments for about 5 hours...THEN try to study too AND do thesis. In my final year id usually go to bed around 2am and get up at 6am to go to teh gym before classes (the only spare tiem id have to do any physical activity). and forget about a job - no time.
now... really great job doing structural design on the city. great job, (like playing with lego in real life) awsome money and i dont have to stand in the sun all day digging trenches!
But respect to the tradies who DO do it, its somethign i could never ever do. And each to his own - my cousin is an industrial plumber and will probbaly do better then i ever will.
Im just backing up the previous statement that uni is no easy life!
although - id like to think at some stage i can go back and do a completely self indugent arts degree in histroy (i LOVE european history) and language/culture.
-
The truest thing I have ever seen: On the toilet roll dispenser in the arts block @ UWA toilets: For arts degree, Tear here. ;D

Hey, I sit in an air-conditioned office (with ocean views none-the-less), and I dropped out of school mid-year 11! Never went to TAFE or anything.....just learnt on the job as a young 17yo trainee. I've now been doing it for over 7 years and am moving up as we speak. Soon I'll be sitting in an airconditioned Hilux with a company phone organizing/supervising tradies (cause we all know they need all the supervision they can get ;) ).
I earn enough money to own a $320,000 house, 2 cars, 2 kids, a dog and a stay-at-home wife. Dont tell me you need to do an apprenticeship or go to Uni/TAFE to get somewhere in life. Im living proof you dont....
-
Yeh I don't doubt that at all, my comment was referring to the people saying that trades are so good.
-
Yeh I don't doubt that at all, my comment was referring to the people saying that trades are so good.
And my comment wasnt aimed directly at you, although reading back over it, it probably seemed that way. I just used your post to make my point.
Whatever you do, so long as you enjoy it enough to not wake up in the morning and say "Fuck, I gotta go to work" and seriously despise it, so long as it pays enough money for you to live comfortably, and its a career more so than just a fill in job, then however you get there is good enough. Whether it be uni, TAFE, apprenticeship or on the job (like me). Just dont bludge off us tax payers....
-
I'm not going to get all defensive over me doing an arts degree (Design), but I'll say that theres a lot more to our course than just drawing pictures which it may seem :P. It covers a lot about environmental issues and designing with the future + environment in mind. As for the workload I seem to be spending a lot more time at home on assignments than both my housemates doing science degrees. Though - I don't have exams, but a shitload of assignments instead.
Ok so maybe a little defensive :P
-
im doing a commerce degree, i have 12contact hours..its nice and easy :) i dont do much work and just cram before exams which can get pretty stressful. Unfortunatly i dont learn anything...but i didnt think that was the point of uni? :D
-
It covers a lot about environmental issues and designing with the future + environment in mind
thats the sort of pure filth im learning in my final unit currently at uni *spits* haha
how does it relates to a Metallurgy degree is really beyond me. i guess its one of those units where you need to learn some about it so when other people in the profession talk about it, youve got some understanding? ??? im pretty sure its someone elses job haha
-
im pretty sure its someone elses job haha
yeah its mine! ;D
-
Am I the only one, that Didnt do a trade, or go to Uni, but yet, landed a sweet Office job... lol

I see your post now...I missed the bottomb half of page four.. lol
But yeah, we are a rare breed...but as you said, we are living proof that you sometimes dont need all that other crap. If I keep going the way I am, I will probally be my team leader in a year :D
-
Tim: "Team Leader don't mean anything mate"
Gareth: "Excuse me, it means I'm leader of a team"
Tim: "No it doesn't. It's a title someone's given you to get you to do something they don't want to do for free - it's like making the div kid at school milk monitor. No one respects it"
Gareth: "Er I think they do"
Tim: "No they don't Gareth"
Gareth: "Er yes they do, cos if people were rude to me then I used to give them their milk last... so it was warm."
-
Hahaha
;D
-
Its ok, because with the added role of Team leader, comes the added Pay and bonuses ;)
Hell, I wouldnt take on more work for free...I'm not that stupid :P
-
i am on my third attempt of business statistics, i just need to pass it to pass my diploma its so fukin hard !!!
-
i only finished yr 12 to get my certificate of education. once id done that, i went straight onto tafe to make jewellery. 2nd year in and things are all good. once i get my workshop set up at home, it wont be too hard to be making $50+ per piece (depending on materials, stones time at bench and all that)
should i choose to move up to more high end stuff, i can look at $5000+ per piece
-
Jewellery, thats something different.
-
I know someone who did a degree with some fancy name at curtin which was really a course in jewellery making.
I never knew stuff like jewellery making was offered at uni.
Now she works as a sales assistant getting paid fuck all for a jeweller. ???
-
I don't really like Sitting on a Tractor or a Header?, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and for a combined time of about 6 months (3 mths Seeding/2-3 months Harvesting)...The rest of the year gets spent doing stuff like fencing and other repairs......And waiting for rain. ;)
It's good life, I get alot of free time and I'm not sorry that I didn't go to uni
-

coming from curtin, im not suprised. from what ive heard, anything artistic from curtin is shit
-
Well, also I would imagine that something like jewellery making would be very hands on, which frankly, is not a forte of any university! ::)

I’ve just done 8 units of the Bach of Social Work Degree, at Edith Cowan in Bunbury, and honestly stuff uni for a joke it destroys your life!! like no shit talk about high society, I think its bloody hard for someone that has gone to uni to maintain an intellectual conversation with any normal people, and to find someone that can analyze a particular object or action relatively close to yourself is near on impossible unless they have experienced the same type of education. Meanwhile my god I also died of shock at all the f*%#’n bitchen and shit, like 4 christ sake I thought that ended in yr 12 or something. While we also had to PAY FOR PARKING!!! Well your meant to :), but like get a grip its Bunbury not Perth, and its private property that doing sfa otherwise.

-
So you're saying that anyone that has gone to uni has a higher intellect than someone that hasnt, and the person that hasnt gone to uni wont be able to keep up in conversation/understand what they are saying because the uni student is so far superior? Or did I read that wrong...because if you are saying that, read your post again, and tell me that its highly intellectual, with good grammar and proper english. :P
By the way, Bunbury is a fucked up town. I left there a few months ago, and never plan on going back. It just has bad vibes and Im never happy in that place. I dont know what it is; I just hate the place.
-
"We use the word 'intelligence' to refer to a variety of human capabilities of which WE approve. There is no such thing as 'intelligence'. It is just a word, not a thing, and a word of a very high order of abstraction"
-
woah, woah woah!
Slow it down a bit so us norms can keep up would ya?! ;)

I disagree with most of what you have said there.
A) It didn't destroy my life. Yes, it took up a whole lot of time, but I met some of the best friends I'll ever have at uni.
B) I have had some of the most intelligent conversations with friends who do not go to uni, and I know some absolute retards who can't even have a simple conversation who have gone to uni. (Bloody Engineers ;D)
C) Pay for parking? So? It's what I had to do the whole time at UWA and Notre Dame.
D) Bitching? Honey, that'll happen no matter who you are, where you go, what you do. Suck it up, deal with it.
E) Lastly, here is the bitchiest thing I am going to say: Sweetheart, you are doing a fucking social work degree. Get over yourself.
**Disclaimer: Had a bad day, this post pissed me off. Is bearing the brunt of my bad mood.
-
^ Agree for most the part. Especially in regards to B.
-
I don't speak to anyone at uni because they are all fucktards :D
-
E) Lastly, here is the bitchiest thing I am going to say: Sweetheart, you are doing a fucking social work degree. Get over yourself.
Best. I also like the use of sweetheart and honey :)
Anyway, in the whole scheme of things, life is what you make it. It can be easy or hard, it just depends on how you handle the options presented to you.
-
B) I have had some of the most intelligent conversations with friends who do not go to uni, and I know some absolute retards who can't even have a simple conversation who have gone to uni. (Bloody Engineers ;D)
I shan't hear a bad word about engineers.. everyone smite her!
;D

fuckin gingerbeers.
curse them all

Yeah..sure..thats the reason ;)

maybe you have met the wrong people! :-\ i can honestly say that those who i have had the best talks with, and are some of the smartest people i know never went to uni or even did well at school! i should introduce you to my mate rob, he will show you that you dont need a uni degree to have an intellectual conversation!
B) I have had some of the most intelligent conversations with friends who do not go to uni, and I know some absolute retards who can't even have a simple conversation who have gone to uni. (Bloody Engineers )
polly, if thats a reference to chris then come on, he cant have a decent comment with anyone unless its about his sexual escapades or on something which he doesnt know everything......wait but he knows everything doesnt he! ::) ;D
and yeah dont knock us engineers, we deserve our respect! :P
-
and yeah dont knock us engineers, we deserve our respect! :P
You can have your own respect, but you aint getting MINE!! MWAHAHAHA.
Bad typo dude, you left it wide open.....but you're good at leaving things wide open :-X
-
but i have to haydz, without it you wouldnt have any idea on where to put it! :P
-
True, ah what can i say its australia :) Ive been thinking of going back and completing the music degree or maybe forensics psychologist... then again, after all said and done theres usually more said then done :)
-
Want fun times? Play 'Pictionary' with an engineer.
Word: Ramp
Me: Draws right angled triangle with a neat little car flying off the top.
Engineer: "Gradient! Inclination! Slope! Ascent!...."
With regards to art degrees being worthless; I'd say its mainly fine arts ;)
My bachelor of Arts (Design) has been reasonably lucrative and useful, despite my decision to continue study.

As for people calling Arts degrees "wanky" or other such nonsense, it depends on your attitude. Quite a few people are absolute cockbites when it comes to their arts degrees, but others actually do the work, and plan on using it for a purpose. I'm doing an Arts degree at the moment, double majoring in English Literature and Philosophy, and afterwards I'll be completing a dip-ed, so I'll have, in effect, two qualifications. If this helps me get a job in Iceland, where I'd like to live some of my years, I'm all the happier for it. It will also land me a job in teaching, where I'll be a male english teacher, with good employment prospects and I'll also be a qualified philosophy teacher (philosophy is being introduced as a subject from years 1 to 12 in the new education system btw)
Like with most degrees, if you've got direction you'll get there. If you are doing it just to do it, the chances are you'll pull out/get bored. The same goes for trades.
-
Wolfram - true, but like what happens if youve completed the things you are interested in and still become unstatified within your career path? Like ive done Retail, Child Care, Youth Work, Social Work and still have no idea. Hense the forensic investagation/ psychologist... I dont know I once come across this reading that basically points out that 'nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal but nothing on earth can help with man with the wrong mental attitude'. Like if you are in a positive enviroment and mental state anythink is possible. For example my family enviroment lacks understanding for the university lifestyle, insisting i over 'psych-anaylsis' everything and think to much, and also my friends found me rather um, annoying to say the least, i personally found it difficult to switch off from my textbook theory and logic, onto a rational level of conversation. I like to think thats its because of my passionate nature :).
-
I think you're just annoying.
-
fuk i recon, wats with the dam lectures its not like where at uni now :-X
-
i no wat u meen...i cunt understand wot they is sayin.
-
use less
sillibill syylaabols cillabillies FUCKIN LETTERS
::)

Teaching isnt a goal that I can ever fulfill, because people are always going to be ignorant, or lacking knowledge. All I can do is try and educate the few that would pass through my classrooms, and hope they in turn teach their friends some stuff, and that spreads out from there. I dont want to be a teacher for the achievement of becoming a teacher, I want to become a teacher because I want to teach people, which is never ending. Besides, I plan on studying part time while teaching, and moving into lecturing, down the track.

I dont know I once come across this reading that basically points out that 'nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal but nothing on earth can help with man with the wrong mental attitude'. Like if you are in a positive enviroment and mental state anythink is possible. For example my family enviroment lacks understanding for the university lifestyle, insisting i over 'psych-anaylsis' everything and think to much, and also my friends found me rather um, annoying to say the least, i personally found it difficult to switch off from my textbook theory and logic, onto a rational level of conversation. I like to think thats its because of my passionate nature :).
Like, make up your fucking mind and actually use one of your fucking degrees. No-one wants to work......Like, Im sure you could find yourself enjoying at least one of the areas you have studied in. Like, far out....pay some fucking taxes for once in your life

hehehe, true, bloody taxes its a joke!! hense why i went to uni :), more money, since the tax office took most of it! But pft.. im working atm at a electronic store, shit pay though $18 per hr. When i could be getting $25+ but since the government has restricted funding and grants within the community development sector, this saw me lose my position as the coordinator for underage dance parties at the nightclubs within the local region. So thats when i thought i would go to uni, en yer so please forgive me for taking an oppuritunity to attend university and prove my father wrong, while utilising the services the avialable to students, i mean what the hell, i could be on the dole doing fuk all wasting your money, at least i intend to make it somewhere and repay my duties to society, unlike some people i know. But thanks for your support, and understanding if it wasnt for people like yourself where would this world be?

i was employment by the south metroplation public health unit, through the peer education program, whereby the program recurits a group of at risk young people and allow them the oppuritunity to attend a life skills camp for a week, while after the camp in the previous programs there was no follow ups, therefore the Peer Education Program invested in ongoing weekly meeting which saw the group of young people come up with an ideas and opinons on creating a project which is in support of the young people within the local area. The idea for an underage dance party was brought forth which everyone was eager to conduct, therefore we applied for funding and grants through places such as Quit, Dept of Health, Country Arts, as required by funding bodies the event must be for a beniftal impact on the community, the young people then brain stormed an idea to have break dancing classes leading upto the dance party, while if young people attended every weekly break dancing classes they recevied free entry to the party, this also allowed young people to go out to a professional event rather then having partys and leaving trails of destruction throughout the neighbouring streets. We also appoarched local business in support of free prizes etc, anyhows it was a total sell out! and no accounts of OD's, fights, and criminal behaviour, so personally i think it was excellent and there should be more oppurtunities for our younger generation.

Until next time take care..... Cheers

There isnt anything wrong with Church youth groups, as long as you belong to the right kind of group. Groups that consist of conservatives bashing bibles over your heads arent fun, but as far as groups at highschool go, the group I was part of was rather on the cool side. For instance, we were looking for a theme for a camp, and I convinced someone else to suggest demonology ;D Our adult assistant (the group doesnt call them teachers, because not all of the people that help out -are- teachers, and they dont have the same role as a teacher) was all for it, and was going to get in touch with a real Demonologist, who performs real exorcisms, not the lame, over-acted and over-produced television exorcisms. We changed the topic to the mis-representation of the goth sub-culture in the end though, because it was more relevant to our lives.

Well if her dance party was a church youth group is sounds like a lame one anyway.

Churches are occults? Once again, something that makes no sense. I believe the phrase you meant to use was "Churches are cults".

After recently deciding to drop out of uni for the 3rd time (second course), I was curious as to how many of you have dropped out and how many attempts at uni it took to figure out what you actually wanted to do? Or am I the only one that can't get his shit together?
I tried a science degree twice where I failed 1st semester, so put it off for 6 months, then tried it again and passed, then failed 2nd semester so canned that one for good. Then I started nursing last year and made it into 3rd semester. I got to my first real prac experience and thought that cleaning up shitty arses and having to care for people and organise a million things at once was not really my thing.
How about youz cunts? There must be plenty of uni dropouts, given the demographic. :P ;D
I'm the opposite really, I dropped out of highschool and am finding uni a blast now, I don't really know what I wanna do but I'm finding it pretty fun mixing and matching at the moment.
