  • It is nothing to do with people dying in the third world, it is to do with I hate myself because I have wasted my life and I look at all the other people my age with chances and opportunties and I have none all because of a degree course.


    all of them? seriously? tens of thousands of them?

  • I can't believe because I was so much a damn idiot that I picked a degree because it was because it was closest to home and I didn't have the confidence to do surveying because I thought I would never be able to drive.
    Well at least you are honest about it.

    Not everyone but most people I know.

    I don't know any offices that would want me to work for nothing.

    I look at all the other people my age with chances and opportunties and I have [strike]none[/strike] different opportunities now, all because of a [strike]degree course[/strike] drunk driver who left me disabled at the age of 18.

    Life's what you make of it though Phil.

    Do I spend my days cursing that person or do I get on with it. You should look at what you have got rather than what you haven't.

    So write to some then.. or even go in personally and hand them letters requesting experience. Choose offices in the areas of work you want to go into.

    Nobody is going to knock on your day and say .. "hi sp, do you want to do some work experience at my office", you need to get off your bum and make it happen if you want it!!
