Gojyu Ever Flow HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2008.08.27 23:12:00 - [37] I'll be finishing up honours in october. Uni has been the greatest experience of my life so far, I'll be sad to see it go, but happy to be earning some actual money. The thing about uni isn't the classes, it's what's outside of class that count. I've seen plenty of people go through 4 years doing nothing but studying, homework and going for the highest grades possible. Sure, they'll graduate with better marks than me, but I still pity them.

Well, the thing about that is that experience is what lands you jobs, not marks. There's an ancient uni saying- P's mean degrees. Granted, some nice marks are a bonus when going for any job, but there's plenty of ways to beat a guy with better marks than you at an interview
Jacob Mei	Posted - 2008.08.28 03:53:00 - [42] Edited by: Jacob Mei on 28/08/2008 03:54:19 Originally by: Kaeten The teachers are from another generation... It's like when your a child of 5 years old, you run like everywhere. When your 20, do you still run everywhere, no you walk, whys that? Probably the same with people that are even older but worse... Also as said they are from a diffrent generation, their jokes, clothes type of humor and lifestyles are all diffrent. You ever notice when a young teacher starts (well every young teacher I've met anyway) is much more fun to learn from and interesting. Mainly because they understand how the younglings work, they could kid around with their pupils. About the homework, I went Natrual Science studys in school (math, fysics, computering, chemistry) were all the nerds go. You'd think we would be nerding ourselfs in class and trying to learn as much as possible... DUUUUH wrong, we were chatting, laughing, joking about the whole time. Teachers got ****ed. Homeworks is a form of class that suites yourself, you can schedule it whenever you want, take it in peices etc. However in school your constantly distracted by your friends (I was anyway lol). And yes you do get "tasks" to do everyclass that has to be finished and put it. But if you do your task real quick, guess what, you'll have enough time to maybe do your homework in the same class... In other words, PEOPLE ARE LAZY AND WANT TO HAVE FUN. About the parking spot, sorry can't help lol. Im sorry but I dont really agree. I would have to say that it isnt so much the age of the professor but the passion that the professor has for the subject. The professor can be a 23 years old but it wont matter if they cant get their students interested in the subject. My absolute favorite class was asian history, which was taught by a very formal "classical" professor, suit, very strict about the subjects, and decidedly in his early 70's and the class was a 9am'er but absolutely everyone showed up each class to listen to how he discribed the time periods, the individuals of interest and so forth. This very "traditional" professor knew exactly how to communicate the subject matter to his students which in such a way that you watched to be on class on time so you wouldnt miss a thing. In my opinion such a thing is nearly a dead art. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase: Players who post are like stars, there are bright ones and those who are dim.
Myrhial Arkenath Ghost Festival	Posted - 2008.08.28 07:28:00 - [43] Going to college was a great experience. However one mistake I made was skipping out on a lot of classes because they were too boring, which in the end resulted in spending far less time with friends than I could have had, because they actually went to the classes and ended up having a better time than me. Work, well it is nice to get paid for what you do, but I can't stress how important it is to get a job where you keep on tackling new challenges and learn new things. It is a sad fact that having nothing to do or just disliking the work makes you far more tired and unhappy in the end of the day. Doesn't mean quitting right away if you don't like it, taking up things with your superior/boss first often saves more time and effort. Unless they aren't open to negotation, which means it is time to get the hell out because that will backfire on them sooner or later And gah, posts like this always make me feel old Diary of a pod pilot

Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2008.08.28 13:20:00 - [45] School was kind of sucky. Took up lots of time, more time than a full time job does in fact. University was great. I did an easy course, so it was basically four years of almost uninterrupted free time, paid for by the government and some summer work. - DesuSigs
Dheorl Surge.	Posted - 2008.08.28 13:37:00 - [46] Originally by: Crumplecorn Took up lots of time, more time than a full time job does in fact. You must have gone through a really sucky education system. when doing my A levels I had 15 hours of work a week, compared to the 27 hours of work for a full time job (of actual work, so not including the hour paid lunch every day)
Daelin Blackleaf Aliastra	Posted - 2008.08.28 13:46:00 - [47] The main problem with school is the huge amount of time spent teaching you things you'll never need to use. I believe, though it seems few would agree, that school should focus you towards actually getting into a job or the next step of your education. That means English, math and life skills should be a priority for everyone, those taking an academic route (ie. that are good at such things) should be able to study towards further education options and others should be able to gain practical skills that will line them up for an apprenticeship. In England you can spend 9 years in school and you either come out with 3 C's+ for college or you come out having gained little since learning to read write and add-up. A lot of people leave having wasted years of effort and study in topics that don't interest them and will have no real impact on their life after completing school. Then again I suppose we need to keep them somewhere while we force the single parents and the child raising half of couples into work and we can't be without the poorly educated masses to take on those minimum wage high tax band jobs. If these people were actually educated in school they'd realize that they're getting paid less than those on social security benefits and then we'd be a right mess.
Zantei	Posted - 2008.08.28 14:35:00 - [48] Edited by: Zantei on 28/08/2008 14:38:14 As long as you're able to speak proper English and have a degree, everything prior to it is of no interest to anyone. School is boring and drawn out so the teachers can get paid for the work they do. ;) Become an independent professional, it's the only way to be free short of running your own business. Also, spend your time wisely. If you must choose a subject make it something practical, learn Chinese. The world gets much bigger with the right skills. ------------------------------------------

You must have gone through a really sucky education system. when doing my A levels I had 15 hours of work a week, compared to the 27 hours of work for a full time job (of actual work, so not including the hour paid lunch every day) Not counting lunchtimes, in school it was 30 hours a week plus homework (which was easily an hour per weeknight, plus extra on weekends), my current fulltime job is 35 hours, nothing on evenings and weekends (obviously). On an average week they might be equal, overall is probably school the winner in terms of time consumption. Now add to that that school was mostly a pain in the ass, whereas my work is interesting, and most years school was non-stop work, whereas working a desk job is more relaxed unless deadlines are close. And I get paid. Of course, school had summer holidays, and I didn't work most summers, so over a whole year the balance might change, but a pure work to school comparison shows school taking more time. - DesuSigs

Zantei	Posted - 2008.08.28 14:59:00 - [51] Edited by: Zantei on 28/08/2008 14:59:24 I was privately educated, so my experience has been pretty horrid. From the time I was 14-18, it used to be from 8:00-5:30. My parents kept it from me until the day of the interview that I had to attend on Saturdays. I never thought I'd bunk until I started at that place. ------------------------------------------

Well, me and everyone else in my country. The school system is a pain here, though on the other hand it is seen as very good AFAIK, so I have educational e-peen, or whatever. - DesuSigs
Saju Somtaaw Gallente Department of Defence	Posted - 2008.08.28 16:21:00 - [53] I'm pretty lucky, even though most of my departments teachers are probably in their 40s at least they're Info Tech people, and jokes on the end-user's behalf are common. ---- --- --- My views don't represent those of my corporation or alliance.

Unlucky schooling is being kicked out of sixth-form for not attending on days where you don't have any lessons. The expectation was that I would spend two days of the week, 12hrs total, doing pretty much nothing. After polite attempts to get my head of year to change this, and setting up a petition I was kicked from the school when they discovered I'd taken the issue up with the education authority... not in person I simply received an official letter during the half-term stating that I was being expelled due to a my poor attitude with regard to school rules. Worst of all I actually attended those non-lesson days during the entire debacle. I fought the law alone... I wouldn't recommend it.

Iosue	Posted - 2008.08.28 22:18:00 - [56] Uni was great, though I didnÆt go the traditional route. Actually, I ended up using a good portion of my student loans to travel the world. While completing Uni took me 7 years and $30K; it was totally worth it. DonÆt think IÆll ever have a mid-life crisis where I feel the need to do things I never got the chance to. School is really what you make of it, you get back what you put in. if you approach you education as something tedious and boring that must be endured, well thatÆs what youÆll get. When I started Uni, all I could think about was making the big bucks. I pursued finance and economics as a degree because I thought it would make me lots of $$. It was boring as hell and my attitude and grades reflected that. When I finally got the nerve to take a break and do some traveling, I began to see the world in a different light. Upon my return, I decided to ditch economics and study history instead. (not the survey intro courses where you buy one textbook and learn about dates and places, but the seminars where you read numerous books by those that were there living while things were happening). It made my subsequent travels all the more interesting, I could visit a place and understand a bit of their culture and history. Once I graduated (with my history degree) I refused to listen to all those that insisted that my only option was to teach high school. I got a job working for a bank and used my life experience and ability to communicate to my advantage. Now IÆm a successful banker managing a commercial real estate portfolio worth millions. Moral of the story: donÆt do something just because everyone says thatÆs how it should be done. Make your own path and do something you enjoy. If you can manage this, you will be successful in your work, and the $$ often follow success.
soldieroffortune 258 Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.08.28 22:42:00 - [57] Edited by: soldieroffortune 258 on 28/08/2008 22:45:44 eh, its kinda hard to enjoy school when you had parents like me (mostly step-father, hated the hell out of that man, we even got into a few fights when his ass was drunk, and he never learned, that if you cant walk straight, why swing at someone and start a fight? i honestly laughed when i saw all the blood from his face dripped on the sidewalk like polka dots AND they were there for like a week, right next to his parking spot across the street to remind him) anyway, when you have a drunk step father getting on your case about "being lazy", and your mom doesnt do anything about it IE agrees with him or goes with it to avoid an argument, its kinda hard to enojy school, especially when you also have a brother and sister to watch out for, and in Las Vegas when you have the wannabee gangsters walking around i really wish i couldve grown up in a small town, dont have to worry about the "gangsters" nearly as much, and can actually fight back w/ out 18 neighbors calling the cops and making a scene about it i still hate that man to this day EDIT: it also helps when your school has a higher graduation rate, i think my school had like only a 60% graduation rate, then you have to worry about those "gangsters" shooting at bus stops ( has happened like 3 times last year i think, gangsters shooting bus stops ) and school shootings again, another benefit of small towns, and no "gangsters" i think we should just take all the gangsters, throw them in vegas, take everyone else out, and lock the city down, let them kill each other for "respect" or "rep" or "street rep" or what the hell ever, then kill the survivors Originally by: soldieroffortune 258 "*Eve is about making yourself richer while making the other guy poorer*"
Calvin Firenze Minmatar Ministry of Destruction	Posted - 2008.08.29 08:22:00 - [58] Originally by: Bager Gray Why does school have to be a bad place? Couldnt it be easier to find parking, couldnt the teachers be more interesting,and could there be less homework. Random thoughs as i sit in a college computer class. Because if you enjoyed it, they'd never be able to get rid of you
