Sooky Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Filling out bits of my UCAS application at the moment, pretty much have my sights set on doing Social Science at Napier next year assuming I get a B or better in my HNC Social Science. Was originally planning on doing something history/politics related but the course seems really broad and interesting and with the amount of modules, you can essentially tailor it to what you might want to do in the future which I like. Also the thought of 2nd year entry appeals to me. Not got a clue about my other 4 choices though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Why would you go out of your way to undermine someone's prospective degree choice? It's a needlessly cuntish thing to do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just found out that the Aldi graduate scheme has a starting salary of £41,000 rising to £67,750 after four years. You also get a fully expensed Audi A4 from day 1 and private healthcare. Seriously considering it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 £67k for working in Aldi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonksy+HisChristianParade Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) £67k for working in Aldi? You're obviously a store manager or something. The way you've worded that makes it seem as if you'd be working the checkouts.

You also get a fully expensed Audi A4 from day 1 and private healthcare. Seriously considering it. A friend of a friend did this and quit after a few months. It was horrific, apparently. I believe it's to be an area manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I know a guy that applied for a graduate position within Morrisons when we were at university. The starting salary was pretty good, think it was about £28k. There were nine stages between applying for the job and getting an offer. I could not be arsed whatsoever applying for a job like this. Imagine the utter wankers you would come up against should you get to the assessment centre stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who's yer dadi Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I've applied for 2 graduate jobs thus far. Been rejected by both, but I don't give a f**k as they both looked pretty shite. Heard hunners of folk raving about this Aldi graduate position, I'd imagine applicant number would be unreal. Just bought myself an absolute fanny magnet of an SXi as well, so not interested in this Audi. Kinda pisses me off when History/science/engineering students go on about applying for business related grad schemes. I've been studying a business related course since 2011, maybe you should've too, stop increasing employment competition in my field ya dicks. Anyway, did a presentation on sectarianism in Scotland as part of my Social Marketing module this morning. Managed 74%, but the real highlight was my ability to drop in the phrases 'up to our knees in Catholic blood' and somehow managed to sneak 'no pyro no party' in there too. Really pleased with that patter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'd say about half my engineering course say that they don't want to do anything too technical and would rather just do management stuff and order history graduates around all day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not all bad and if you get yourself into the right position offshore it doesn't matter where you live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 A question for anyone at Glasgow or Strathclyde, there's a medic 7's league at Glasgow but does anyone know if there are any other 7's leagues at either of these uni's? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
