"I'm finishing my honours degree in 4 months, nervous about life after 7 years of primary school, 6 of high school and 4 of uni. The job search is on but wondering how other people found life after leaving education?" It was that long ago we forget  | |||

"I'm still in education, 11 years of uni & counting..." 11 years ! What u training to be lol | |||
"I'm finishing my honours degree in 4 months, nervous about life after 7 years of primary school, 6 of high school and 4 of uni. The job search is on but wondering how other people found life after leaving education?" Totally in the same place as you there haha. I'm just politely ignoring the fact that I'll soon have to be a grown up... | |||

"the best education you can get isn't from school or uni but from living life in the real world itself" ..... unless you want to be a doctor. | |||

"A degree is only a tool for showing you can learn at a higher level than A levels.... why would you do 2 or 3 degrees or phds, what ever they are? surely do one, show you have a higher learning ability then get a job?" I did one, finished & there were no jobs in that sector. Ended up taking a job with promise of progression. That never happened so I made the decision to retrain at uni. Finished my 2nd degree during the recession, jobs were thin on the ground at best. I never EVER considered a PhD till the uni called me up with an offer. So I took it on. Just saying, I've not spent all this time at uni just for the hell of it. | |||

"Fuck me i just looked, your 31??? pmsl you could retire soon without ever working if you play your cards right lol " Hahaha. Well I've done a wee bit of teaching at the uni so perhaps lecturing. Or a job in research. Though if work came up in what I did my last degree in I'd love to go do that. & to the OP, I hope you get a job related to your studies. All the best mate | |||
"What do you want to be when you finally leave school? lol" A professor?! :-/ | |||

"In much of the world, including most Commonwealth nations (such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand) and northern Europe professor is reserved only for the most senior academics at a university, typically a department chair, or an awarded chair specifically bestowed recognizing an individual at a university or similar institution. A professor is a highly accomplished and recognized academic, and the title is awarded only after decades of scholarly work and/or practise..... Professors are qualified experts who generally perform the following: manage the teaching, research and publications in their department (in countries where a professor is head of a department), conduct lectures and seminars in their specialty (i.e., they "profess"), such as the fields of mathematics, science, humanities, social sciences, education, literature, music or the applied fields of engineering, design, medicine, law, or business; perform advanced research in their fields. provide pro bono community service, including consulting functions (such as advising government and nonprofit organizations); teach campus-based or online courses adopting instructional technology; mentor young aspiring academics (graduate students); conduct administrative or managerial functions, usually at a high level (e.g. deans, heads of department, librarians, etc.). " The question is....would that get me laid?? | |||
