Just out of interest... what did you study for?

Well Nick, if I get it then maybe you can come and we can have a wicked time out there ?

Captain:

I studied for a Degree in Computer Networks, but also have a foundation degree in Business studies and computer studies, and a certificate of higher education in Computer Studies.

Why'd you wanna know ?

Best of luck Niz. Hope you do well.

Hope you can find the time to visit the site while you're away, not too much of a distraction from the beach 'hotties'.

But we'll understand

Clever sod!

*wishes he studied harder at skool*

Well done though chap, hopefully all your hard work will pay off with a really decent job.

Hard Work... whats that ? lol

Still have a dissertation to write and two modules to complete, part time for me next year I think !

Dissertation

Isn't that the thing that every student puts off, puts offf, puts off, puts off, then has a mad rush of 20 hours days at the end to sort it out.

Can't you cheat and copy an old one? I don't think they'll notice

Most students do... in my case I did because there is nothing about computer Networks that I am that interested in to write 15,000 words about, let alone research it ! !

So I have until November to come up with idea's and get it sorted...

A firend of mine did part of his GF's and his GF got done for plaigerism(or however you spell it lol) she left uni with a basic pass degree I think !

Yeah, don't they have computers that can scan your work for repeated references or common phrases and compare the results with known reference books and other works and the like, hence they know you have copied it from somewhere?

well its a program, but yes exactly what you said, its very clever... but even programs make mistakes, after all they are developed by humans and computers are only as clever as the humans that programmed them! lol

I studied Software Engineering with computer systems. Got a 2:1 degree, which I thought was pretty good for something I didn't REALLY study for (I knew most of it anyway

). Managed to do most of my assignments in the 3 days prior to hand in....as opposed to my then gf who spent most of her days in the library with a pile of books when she should have been with me!

But not quite sure if it did me any good as I racked up ?1000's worth of debt and my current job doesn't really pay me enough. I am in IT Network Administration/support engineeer/whatever you wanna call it now but I feel like I am at a dead end really :-(

Need a new job!

There are so many stories of people doing computing degrees but then working in either some totally different industries or roles that they had no interest in doing...

I have done computer networks because there at the time was no web development / design degree.. but hey its only cost me ?13k for ermmmm welll nothing but stress.....lol

Captain, what is it you wanted to do when you first left uni ??
