the_beastly_one Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Work in the mighty Asda until February, then hopefully HNC Sound Production at Aberdeen College. After that, not so sure, may well go and do the whole uni thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steve Irwin Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Who the hell goes travelling after passing their highers?!I have always wondered why people need to go through 4 years of uni before they are "QUALIFIED" to go travelling??

threeornothing Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I have always wondered why people need to go through 4 years of uni before they are "QUALIFIED" to go travelling??Because they are thrown loans and grants and save money at the pubs so are able to build up a bit of cash after 4 years...I left school with 20p in my pockets...not much has changed....

Just finished first year...well if Monday goes ok I have! Its quite a good course, don't let first semester put you off! How old are you? I felt really young when I started- 16 but the people in my class range from 17-23 and everyone gets on fine. Can't wait to get back to Uni, working 9-5 is killing me!

Ghostwriter Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 No offence but not every 17/18 year old who have just finished their highers can afford to travel .He didn't say that every 17/18 year old could. I think the point he was making was that some people know from an early age they'd like to travel so they save their money. It's not that hard to believe.

Val Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I am working in Paris as an au pair for a year...which is kind of travelling but self-supporting (ish) might I add! Then it's off to uni either in London; south of England or Paris...to do French or French Law;I'll have to wait and see who wants me!

I'm too keen to get to university to do a gap year beforehand, but I want to go to France (probably Paris) after my degree and just laze around being pseudo-French.

Val Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 I spent years of my life dropping French words into conversations and generally thinking I was French; basically pissing everyone off; so everyone's mega-pleased I've finally gone to live with the frogs! Paris is fab! I've only been here for a month and a half but i'm into the rhythm of my French life; plus my French has improved dramatically; c'est chouette! Originally I wanted to go to university this year but I got rejected from what I wanted to do everywhere; so I thought that this was the better option! Saying that; it's harder work than people imagine! 3 Kids 7 days a week is certainly not easy; especially when your trying to tell them off and can't remember the word you need! At the moment I'm in St. Etienne for a week; I've already been to the Alps; and I'm off to Brittany next week!It's tiring!But if you want to come and live here for some time why not spend next Summer holidays working for 3 months in Paris? It involves a bit of organisation; but it would be a great oppurtunity; and it's perhaps a bit less scary than the full jump to living here! Plus the advantage is that French people do actually work 35 hours a week; point. So lots of relaxing time! Good luck in your pseudo-French quest!Another downside is the bloody keyboards! Takes about 10 minutes to type one sentence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes about 10 minutes to type one sentence!I was thinking about doing some au-pair work next Summer actually, because my mum's friend lives in the South of France (score!) and she said she could find me a family that I could live with for a couple of months. It would be a great advantage for university, and just living in France sounds incredible.Although if I do French and International Relations at Uni, then the 3rd year is living in France, which is definitely a bonus.Anyway, have fun, I'm really jealous stuck here in Aberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
