    Renewable energy college course
    Hi I have put RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY MANAGEMENT lev7 no.1 on my cao. I just thought it sounded interesting and everyone says the future is in renewable energy and the like. I could do some business course but I'd rather do something different. I've read up the modulus and subjects include ELECTRONICS, ENGINEERING SCIENCE, ENGINEERING MATHS, ELECTRICITY, INSTRUMENT TECHNOLOGY. Are these hard?..... I'm having second thoughts.

    Given your inability to check what was involved in the course you applied to do and managing to post in the wrong forum, I'd imagine that yes, they are hard.

    Yes they are hard, believe me

    but you can do eet! just stick at it, will be worth it at the end of the day


    don't believe me ? look at what the alternative is.
    Some arty-farty course in a posh place full of people with D4 accents drinking 5 euro cups of coffee and 10 euro pints while telling their friends on twitter and facebook with their iPhone how wonderful it is to be allowed to pay 10 euro for a pint and not be surrounded by blebians.

    There will be BIG money in this in the next twenty years. I wouldn't mind doing that course myself.

    Well, there's lots of oil we just haven't developed a technique to process it yet. Where can you do this course O.P?

    Personally I'd go with a course in Nuclear Engineering; it's just as clean and you get paid more.

    Peak uranium is just around the corner, mang

    unless someone finds a nice sized asteroid made of uranium or the like and brings it back its going to run out at around the same time as oil. I wish george bush would have done another 4 years, maybe he would have got NASA off their lazy asses and sent them to Mars to find some oil

    OP, you don't want to end up like Zuutroy here; an illegal alien working every day in a nuclear power plant for a shiny penny.

    Good choice though, and yeah those things are tricky but if are a logical thinker than i reckon you'll be okay. And feck business courses. Mine was sort of like one and i learned NOTHING useful whatsoever. Lucky it involved computers.
