stonedsailor Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Why bother spending years at Uni accruing massive debt and gaining a certificate which is practically useless due to the fact that every Tom, Dick and Harry gets them nowadays? Just buy a course from this site you could become a Doctor for just over a ten spot or even get yersel a PhD for fifty sheets. Mugs the lot o' ye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Donaghy Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I used to love them when I was at Uni. One of the highlights of my course. Might be the fact I've now had 3 and half years of Engineering lecturers which are totally different to what Law was like as well. We have had to do courses in Economics, Management and now Law through my course, all taught out of department, and I haven't enjoyed any of them. Too much in my comfort zone me. It seems we are mainly dealing with Contract Law which takes up 50% of the final exam with then the further 50% on Employment Law, Intellectual Property and Company Law which to me just seems so dull; although this is coming from a guy who enjoys Fluid Mechanics and Aeroelasticity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to extremely generous government hand outs instead of leaving with student debts I am looking at a healthy surplus. No, people who click on that links are mugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, people who click on that links are mugs. I can see your education has improved your intelligence no end, there is but one link there (obviously not arithmetic you are studying) even if there was more than one link then surely you should say "people who click on those links are mugs" (looks like English is not your major either). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grammar correction is fun! Clearly, what I meant to say was 'that link' and you know how valid another posters argument is when they dedicate a whole post to point out an out of place letter. I could point out the errors in the post above but what would that achieve? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could point out the errors in the post above but what would that achieve? Just trying to point out that even with your high standard of academia you are still prone to basic errors, proving that university education in the main is as worth while as some of those certificates which I posted a link to. If you can't even manage to produce a two line post without mistakes then I fear that all the generous state sponsorship you have enjoyed has been a complete waste of time. How do you think you will get on when you have to produce a CV for prospective employers to consider? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Got a 1A for French, 1B for Philosophy and 2A for History somehow despite having had a 1B in the first essay, 1C in the second essay and the 'exam' only being worth 15%. Think they've got their sums wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using circumstantial evidence of a first year student to discredit the entire university system - fail. You were too thick to get into uni, weren't you? It shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were too thick to get into uni, weren't you? It shows. :lol: Nice try, I was accepted to Napier and RGIT (as it was then) but decided to go to Nautical college instead. Worked out very well too, I am in a good job with 30 weeks leave per year and a very enviable salary. Thanks for your concern though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Stonedsailor seems a wee bit bitter. He's actually right up to a point that certain degrees aren't very useful, you don't have to be very intelligent to get one and a lot of students are tossers, but his picking up on one typo (which obviously was a genuine mistake, as opposed to a case of the poster not knowing the grammatical rule) just gives the impression that he's one of those middle aged Tesco employees who feels bitter towards everyone who's done more with their life than he has, mistakenly believing that he could've easily been a top academic if he'd really wanted to on the basis that he's read The Da Vinci Code. I hope that my grammar has been okay in this post, really long sentence notwithstanding, but let me know if it hasn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_binos Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 1C for Business - pretty happy with that. Good coursework and had a solid enough exam performance. 2D for Sport - again, happy with that. The sports module has been an absolute joke this semester. Essays handed in November 18th, 3 week return policy, one women marking all the essays - only got returned on Friday. FAO Stirling Uni students - do you get re-sits in 3rd year or does whatever you get in exam count towards your degree? Thinking about going overseas to coach next summer so not having re-sits would be pretty sweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedsailor Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 ^^^ verge of tears. Only at the fortunes of my football club at the moment. Travelled the world on a decent salary, more time off than the Queen, paid for my house and car, LOADS of time to sit in front of a PC and wind up people, I love my life. Apart from the football thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear me, perhaps if you'd chosen a degree at University instead of learning how to "come aboard" you'd have more insight into what your mind truly wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Started back today with Problem solving, Finance and Financial Reporting, and Calculus B all starting today. Looks like I'll enjoy those 3 modules. Not looking forward to my stats module starting though, hated it last semester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear me, perhaps if you'd chosen a degree at University instead of learning how to "come aboard" you'd have more insight into what your mind truly wants. You are correct, perhaps if I'd gone to university (only needs a capital if it forms part of a university's name, I believe) and gained a masters degree, like my younger brother, I may well have a better idea of whether or not I really do care about the capitalisation of words but I'd also be stuck behind a desk six days a week stressing about work and wondering what to do with my four whole weeks annual leave. Then again, I think I'll stick with four blocks of four weeks leave with a two weeks on two weeks off rota in between, three days pay on top of my salary for every day extra I choose to do for the company, being allowed to play with big powerful engines and knowing that I have control of £30M worth of machinery (gives me a hard on that one). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
