Pfft. Room for fun things my arse. Not with the way that I'll end up living. Nose to grindstone methinks. Well-paid, hopefully, but I know that it takes a whole load of work to get to where I want to go.

Well, no, I just think that's the wrong attitude, and it's bound to make you miserable. I mean, do you really want to go through life thinking "this is all about me being forced to do things I don't want to do"?

No !
What i meant was that :
1) School is OK. It provides the only form of knowledge most people get before being brainwashed by TV and consummers society in it's evershining glory.
2) It's having to go where you don't want to go, wake up when you'd rather sleep, being bossed around, etc, that really sucks.
3) You'd better get used to it as a big part of your life will (probably) be spent doing things you don't enjoy and/or care for, and being bossed around one way or another.

But there's still room enough for lots of cool things. :Brain: [/b][/quote]
Well, fair enough, then.

@Prejudice: So where do you want to go, then? Seriously, though, if you already think it's going to be horrible, maybe you should consider something less well-paid, but which you might enjoy a bit more. You'll spend a major part of your life working, you know...

[omg]

yeah dude , sorry to but in but you seem to be quite an empathic chap and im interested as to where you think your education is going to lead you because a.j is right.
there are people out there who work vocations, and you seem to be aiming for something, so before you commit you should be totaly certain that you are commiting to the right thing. its probably better that you choose the right path now rather than finding yourself years down the line and regretting stuff.....

Actually, I have no idea whatsoever what I'm going to do. That's why I'm probably going to do German, Media Studies, Maths and Chemistry, just so that pretty much every option is open.

I'm considering something in journalism, but I'm not really sure at all. I could probably do teaching as well (I'm OK with people, not that it's seemingly a requirement) or something totally different.

I have a comnputer engineering degree and did my thesis in wide area network visual object recognition and tracking.
I now write J2EE apps for the agriculture industry and get to play with really big computers.
Stay in school!

I'm going to for the near future (until I'm 22/23 I imagine) but it's still no small amount of work.

That's the spirit ! Go for it ! And never stop ranting along the way ! :ranting:

i love you sig ! k:

[PrejudiceSucks]

You'd love it more if you'd seen the headlines. And A.J's.

[Lonely Vazdru]

Then again, maybe not !

But you have balls to make fun of this. I do approve, but if things get as bad as it seems, you'll have a hard time keeping that signature as you'll be assaulted by self righteous people who will take it badly. Count on me to defend you (on that point) if things turn sour. :Titan:

[PrejudiceSucks]

Huzzah!

You are right though. It's supposed to kill 150 million , which is a fair few. On the other hand, it might kill even more.

So wrap up warm, I don't want to lose any of you!

And remember, if "Going cuckoo", "One flu over the cuckoo's nest", "Robin the vaccine" or indeed "The Plot Chickens" appears in the newspaper, me or more likely A.J. came up with it first.
