Will having a job straight away be detrimental?
Discussion for current and prospective students about social life at university, societies, what stationery and bedroom items to buy and anything else relating to life as a university student.

Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?True, but i normally just see people who are like me or live in Council houses :/.(Original post by leahnic)
You can't say 'actually worked hard' as if people who cant go to uni without loans have parents who don't work hard.
Most people's parents will be extremely hard workers, just in your parents case, they were fortunate enough to get a well paid job.
My point of view is pretty narrow in all honesty. -
Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?I'm sorry if i want a tax system that doesn't punish the high earners because they have achieved more in life then the 40 year old shop assistants have(Original post by zaliack)
Oh really? Would never have guessed.

Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?If your parents actually worked hard to achieve something with their life I don't know why they're not teaching you to do the same. My mum is very well off and I could have anything I wanted but she has taught me the value of money and I have worked since I was15.(Original post by bahjat93)
Are you trying to make me feel bad because my parents actually worked hard and achieved something in life!?!
Your parents are doing you no favours. -

OP, I would stay available for freshers. -
Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?To be fair to you, give you're yet to master some of the more basic rules of writing in the English language, it would seem you will need to do a lot of learning at university and thus may not have time for a job.(Original post by bahjat93)
Why do people not just ask for money from there parents??

Surely your going to University to learn and enjoy life!Last edited by roh; 29-06-2012 at 09:42. -
Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?You think getting a higher wage means your parents have achieved more than other people? So, your parents deliver babies daily, save peoples lives, care for the vulnerable and protect peoples civil liberties? Btw, without the 40 year old shop assistant, how do you expect our economy to survive?(Original post by bahjat93)

To add to your point, it really grinds my gears when I hear people say their parents have worked harder than mine. My mother has 4 children and slaves away every single sodding day to feed us. She's also studying a full-time degree.
You really have no idea do you?(Original post by bahjat93)

And OP, getting a job isn't too bad. Just think, you won't be worrying about money too much, like most students

Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?Again - I feel much ignorance and idiocy from your side of the argument. My parents are typical middle class people and earn decent salaries. They give me some money each week but they also expect me to help, and I do. I have a job in the summer holidays and term times so they don't have to give me as much. Perhaps you should take your head out of your ass and do the same.(Original post by bahjat93)

Considering your severe lack of knowledge for the English language, no one would employ you anyway. If you do nothing but leech of your parents no employer is going to be impressed by your academics (if they're that good anyway) alone.Last edited by RobertWhite; 29-06-2012 at 12:05. -

Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?No, the problem is with your arrogance that you're automatically entailed to their money, and your stupidity in assuming that everyone else has access to that kind of money.(Original post by bahjat93)

Oh and fyi, the hardest-working people I know are also some of the poorest. Sort your facts out kiddo. -

The majority of shop assistants in the country are foreigners from poorer countries, most of the passport holders are in high end jobs such as Engineering, doctors etc.
There economy is doing better then ours
And in this modern age success is measured by your degree and your salary -

Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?If they are such hard workers why are they still poor???(Original post by funsongfactory)

Were they not taught the lesson when they were young, that if you work hard you will achieve more and evidently they are not achieving more therefore they are not hard workers! -

due to the amount of utter rubbish you are speaking and your idiotic attitude I imagine you to look like this(Original post by bahjat93)

Omg, are you for real?! What about a nurse who works ridiculously long hours, but nurses even at really senior levels don't earn a lot? Or a teacher, they work really hard but you couldn't call them rich! I could go on but I can't be bothered wasting the time on you.(Original post by bahjat93)

Seriously, go get some ****img perspective on life, you are utterly ridiculous. -
Re: Will having a job straight away be detrimental?You keep saying your parents worked hard(Original post by bahjat93)
My parents did make me work at Toysrus for christmas money and it taught me no lessons!
But have you ever worked hard? Have you ever thought 'no I don't want to live off their money, they've given me enough let me repay them' and thought about getting a job and paying your own way?
My mum offered to pay for my accommodation, my phone contract, buy me a bike and a travel pass for uni and I said no to it all. I want to pay for it all myself. You get to that point in life were you grow up and realise that you need to start living for yourself and not off the back off your mum and dad. When you're 23 with a low level degree looking for a job you won't be able to say 'well my parents worked hard and have good jobs'
The difference between us and you is that you may have all the money you need, but you've been taught nothing and probably don't know a hard days work in your life. All the rest of us, our parents have given us everything we need, we respect them for that , plan on working our hardest to repay them one day, yet you'll still probably be scrounging for money off them when you're 50. -
