Going to miss college

Mrs Garth Brooks · 27-04-2012 01:21PM #1

Im finished next week. With nothing to go back to in September.

What will I do? I loved it, will miss going to class and learning. Never want to leave. If I could stay there forever, I would. The year isn't long enough :-(

Is it acceptable to ride a lecturer when finished?

Go get a job, you bum!

Mr Benevolent · 27-04-2012 01:22PM

Hard luck, woman.

You can still watch Countdown and have baked beans for dinner every day if you like!

steddyeddy · 27-04-2012 01:23PM

I always thought of those last days of college ideal time to ride those I had my eye on in previous years!

A lad I know is 43 and has never left college. He signs up to new courses every time he's due to finish one. He has more letters after his name than he has had jobs which he's spent so much time becoming qualified to do.

Only if you went to all your lectures. You can't expect them to score those who just turn up at the last lecture you know :P

I can vouch for it

GO for it girlfriend!

I've always had a fantasy of being with a teacher/lecturer. Nows my chance. How do I make this a reality?

Bit pointless though! He works his ass off doing jobs that he's way over-qualified for, just to become even more over-qualified. Make's no sense to me, but each to their own I guess.

Lol I've a cousin around the same age who's been doing the exact same thing since he turned 18, he chooses a different college each time as well, its like he's trying to break some sort of academic world record.

I was going to close this with a suggestion to start a blog or something.

Reminds me of Seinfeld;

I have a friend who’s unemployed—he’s collecting unemployment insurance. This guy has never worked so hard in his life as he has to keep this thing going. He’s down there every week, waiting on the lines and getting interviewed and making up all theses lies about looking for jobs.

If they had any idea of the effort and energy that he is expending to avoid work, I’m sure they’d give him a raise.

I’ve never seen someone to such a tremendous job, not working.

go down to the dole office

Why don't you do postgrad? Then you could stay another few years depending on what you want from the postgrad; and then if you go so far you could be a full time lecturer/tutor/researcher, then you never get to leave!

steddyeddy · 27-04-2012 01:34PM

I would have only rode one of my lecturers. Sorry I didnt try!

o1s1n · 27-04-2012 01:45PM

I can't stand students who see themselves as perpetual academics - I lived with one before and she did my head in. She'd just finished her masters and decided she wanted to do something after that to postpone leaving college.

Get your qualifications and get a damn job.

If someone loves learning and supports themselves then why not?

Had a fit looking lecturer in my course who had enormous boobs and rarely wore a bra.

Nipples on her like the bolts from a ship.

Because they're likely to be taking up a space which could be filled by somebody else, and are unlikely to ever put the qualifications they receive to any practical use.

So learning for the sake of learning is something to be looked down upon?

Unless they're paying their college fees and have absolutely no grants, then they're not supporting themselves. Which I would imagine is a large chunk of students.

I love learning too, as do others. But most of us (thankfully) realize that at some point you have to actually put the learning to use and get a job.

No, not at all. There are other ways to learn though. I just don't see the point in doing it in a college setting if you don't intend on using the education to follow a career path, or at least put your formal education to use.

i just happen to be a lecturer....*

Very true plus If a person loves learning they can get into research in a paid capacity.
