Ah - I remember the days

It's good to see that it's out of the way - just out of curiosity, when do you finish your coursework?

Surely, if you've finished you're coursework, there's no need to go to college anymore

Ah, but there's money to be earnt just by showing up, ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£30 a week to be precise, and i would love to keep that... Besides, now it's more like a social outing, and the people are a great laugh. We have one test on the 26th then we find out if we've passed this year or not... Besides, i'd be on the forums all day otherwise (yet again...

)

Ahhhh the good old memories of course work.
What used to annoy me the most was knowing that you'd be working at the PC typing up all day to then go to sleep and have to wake up and continue all over again the following day.
You must be feeling so much better now it's over.
Have a good relaxing weekend and some nice drinks to celebrate.

Haha, it's because it is a full time course, they reckon we can't get jobs while we're on the course.. (Although some of us have 2 jobs and manage suitably)

Feeling lovely, going out saturday and sunday, and then the weekend after... etc. Can't drink yet, but hey, who cares, Coke's better than nothign right ?

God I used to love college, and the long summer holidays that followed.....

Anyway just a quick one, I find it suprising at how much we moan about benefit scroungers but to date I have heard no one moan about having to pay kids to attend school (surely its a reasonable dent in our country's finances).

Now that you've completed your coursework maybe you could engage in an extra curriculum discussion and tell me why do some of my taxes have to be used as an incentive for you to go to college?

simple - it is an incentive for students to stay on in 6th form/college so they want to go on to university - where they get to plunge themselves into thousands of pounds worth of debt doing courses in surfing & beach management. The long term benefit of this to the country should be obvious & I'm surprised anyone would question it

Oh, you forgot the degree in Ghostbusting from Coventry uni (I think it is)

exactly - you see, in the 'bad old days' they would have got an apprenticeship & been paid to learn a trade, while doing 'day release' at college. This was obviously a really naff idea, which was providing the country with a steady stream of engineers, electricians, plumbers, builders, etc - and no-one to do the really useful stuff like media studies & Ghostbusting.

Things are so much better now - and we get nice people coming over from Europe to build everything for us.

Oh, i never said that's the reason why i went in the first place, EMA hasn't been around that long as far as i know, i was planning on going ever since i was in Year 6. That was when i was about 12, 13?
And i don't see why we shouldn't be getting paid, afterall, we're not out stealing your jobs now are we? And yet we are still benefitting the communities around us with new skills. In my case it is computing, looking to go to UNI if it's possible for programming... etc.

Now, i ask you, why should we pay you for days you are sick and not benefitting anyone else?

We don't get paid if we're ill for even one day...
