Is university the right choice for you?

It doesnt matter what University I went to.

Biology is Biology

Haemoglobin is the same protein when taught at oxford and when taught elsewhere.

A test tube is a test tube whether in oxford or not.

I would lie on the CV, but if i lied about 2 years work experience

1.why havent i got references from those I worked with for those 2 years
2.Why cant I answer basic Questions theyre obviously going to ask me if i have these so called 2 years experience
3.when I get the job and cant do basic things the 2 years would grant me, theyre going to raise a few eyebrows.

I am £30,000 in debt, Biology phD tuition fees are monstrous, plus supplies and equipment, and the fact I cant even afford rent, and the fact I pointed out I am going to be council house bound soon, wasnt enough evidence that I cannot afford a phD??

As to me getting a grant-yeah right, theyre rare, and when youre from a mid tier university, theyre pretty much non existent.

The jobs I applied for where technician jobs, you still need 2 years exp

And no, a phD does not qualify as 2 years exp, (or 3-4 that it lasts)

a phD is still considered an academic experience, so when it asks for "2 years WORK experience" they literally mean experience in a professional workplace for a company etc, not a phD.

University doesnt offer placements, its a 3 year purely academic degree

EDIT:A year is not enough

I reckon he went to Greenwich.

Greenwich is on the main line into London though, its only like 20 minutes from places like Dartford. I know quite a few people who lived in Dartford and commuted to Greenwich. He did say he had to commute on the train to university!

Now, I don't know about peoples personal lives here, but my life isnt "Oh father, may I borrow the Bentley today, I must meet tom and lucas at the cricket, haw haw haw"
