Didn't know architecture was up there, thought it was meant to be pharmacy instead :tongue:

I see you're a medic too, do you plan on going back to kurdistan to work after your foundation years? I heard the working hours are much better there as is the pay, especially if you got your degree from a British medical school. My parents are being pretty insistent on me going back, though I'm personally undecided at the moment.

Look at his sig lol

You know, it's so annoying because sometimes I can see the blue arrow thing and click on it for the users signature but sometimes I can't... :angry:

Right now, it's one of those times when I can't...there's nothing there :s-smilie:

I dunno...pharmacy has taken a dive recently IMO....

well, my parents keep trying to get me to do that...but if I'm honest, I really don't want to....cos the people there are still mired in the thinking of old....which is not something I particularly like....

then again, I expect things to be very very different within the next 10-15yrs....so who knows????

but I very much doubt it....a holiday is the most I'll go back for tbh

Well they won't if you have that self-defeating attitude :tongue:

A lot of Kurds are doing Medicine nowadays which is good obviously :wink:

I guess it's all the family pressure :wink:

Wish I was scientifically intelligent :frown:

guess I gotta stick with ICT...

Where are you both applying/studying at? :smile:

Ah, sorry I missed this. Yeah there are loads of kurds doing medicine lol. For me it wasn't really about family pressure, I just couldn't really see myself doing anything else, which isn't great considering that means I didn't really have an interest in much else lol ICT is pretty cool though, what particular area do you plan on going into later on?

What exactly do you mean by old thinking? And yeah, kurdistan is changing quite rapidly so you never know what it'll be like by the time we graduate.

London :biggrin:

well....the current thinking that our parent's and grandparents generation so lovingly still cling onto....

but as you say, because it is changing so rapidly, it's not something I have completely ruled out....but I'm not exactly keen on it atm

:biggrin:

Good man.....which part of london??

There are but surprisingly, we don't have contact with a single Kurd so I've always been rationalized away from the culture...Although the Kurds up here all act like they are Caucasian, so it would have made no difference...

you have no idea how good that is for you in some ways....

it means you can do what you want without having to think about what other people will say, you won't get involved in the gossip etc.

that said....it's nice to know some kurds....just choose wisely :smile:

hahaha, happily :colone:

you do realise that independance is what will be pushed for the second we get supermajor oil companies in kurdistan to replace the current minnows.....

providing that the situation in iraq remains as it is/ kurds don't get more power.....
