This probably ain't the answer you were hoping to hear but I have absolutely no idea to be honest!
I'm hoping my career guidance teacher will be good and give me some ideas.
Honestly though, right now, I sort of wish someone would just tell me what course to do, there are so many and I'm not sure what kind of course I would be interested in!
What are you hoping to do?

To sleep, but it's not happening.

Thinking science in Trinity (Gasp, so original!). You?

I have advice.

DO NOT depend on your career guidance counsellor to help you. They are the single biggest waste of employment ever to grace the earth. You're going to go into their office with a question such as "should I do Engineering or Architecture?" and all they're going to do is go "I don't know, but you should consider blah blah blah"

Do your own research, look up courses, their requirements and figure out for yourself whether or not you'll like it.Your Careers teacher knows NOTHING.

No way, class of 2012 are the best! If the world does end, we'll be the last year ever to sit the LC. Which makes us the best

I agree 100%! They are useless and often underestimate your abilities! I had so many questions and none of them were answered. From my experience they aren't encouraging enough either.

I was thinking architecture too. But points are very high:S
Maybe landscape architecture in UCD, it's 390 or something:P

cookier · 30-08-2010 07:47PM

ya I'd be doing arch in UL because i dont have a science subject.. and they were down to 400 this year so its not too bad!
landscape arch would be pretty cool tho! .. keep meaning to look into that.
not having a science is a killer!

Productive in that they give you and others a chance to rant like a fishwife?
