    Revising doesn't guarantee you won't end up at ASDA in this climate.


    Back to procrastinating I go :couchpotato:

    This is not motivating.

    Nobody listen to these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So I thought we could create this thread to motivate each other..

    Post pictures of where we'll end up if we don't work hard and revise now

    I'll start.



    LOL even students that work hard generally end up working at supermarkets part time while studying at uni :rolleyes:

    Depends what you're applying for... No matter how much revision you do for a Media (or whatever) degree, its probably not gonna get you anywhere
    Nice bit of snobbery there eh?

    I take it you must have studied Media. Oh wait, going by your profile you haven't.

    How can you judge something you've not studied?

    And before you say 'well it's not in the guardians top 40 subjects blah blah' does that mean you can't form your own opinions either?

    Yeah great, let's think we're above people who work at Asda and are actually at uni before we even have a job or a uni place at all.

    Please.

    It just annoys me the masses upon masses of people going to uni simply cause they can/want to, to do a course which will have no real benefit to their career at all.

    If you work hard, you should be allowed to go to uni

    Its when someone says "Im going to such-and-such uni to do Sports management and i need 2 B's." And you're screaming in your head "maybe you're not suited to uni" --> you're skills could be used so much more effectively in another pursuit like an electrician etc (which for the record im very jealous of as when they drive past their own car, while i'm still struggling with student debts)

    Uni should be academics and hard-workers, not a 3 year holiday.

    The post-Blair era of everyone is special and should be able to whatever they want has had a large impact on this.

    Exactly! I hate to think of it negatively, plus some people have no choice to go to certain places or work at certain places, and then theres the other factor working at ASDA with the same routine suits their ability, as not everyone is adaptable..I thought the thread was abit harsh..
