    Discussing with friends what age we all were in our first year in college.

    I was 17 for almost all of the first year and while I did fine in college I think I would have benefited from another year of maturity.
    From the other thread on Conscription i think i would have joined the army for a year if the option had been there.

    Ive added a apprenticeship options to account for the fact that lots of people leave after junior cert to follow a trade but chose the age which best suits.
    You can choose multiple ages if you were a first year multiple times.

    Looking bad would you start later or earlier given the choice?

    I know. Crazy topics.
    Mainly discussing how hard it was to get into pubs for the first year.

    There's no option for apprenticeship at 17, so I checked all the boxes. :pac:
