A question that occurred to me reading your first post was: are you going to uni to party, or to acquire a salable skill that [hopefully] will support you for the rest of your life?? I trust that you investigated the career that you were preparing to enter (with your course work), and decided that it had 'long term' prospects & would pay a decent wage. Two more years is an "eyeblink". In 5 more years, you won't even remember what you did during those 2 years. The important thing is to acquire the skills you need to support yourself. Hopefully, you're doing that. You don't want to end up being a "buggy whip maker" when gasoline cars become popular! In that sort of case, you will never work again. Lots of things are being "exported" these days. The trick is to get into a profession that cannot be exported - either because the work has to be done in the Uk, or those it would be exported to cannot do it. Best of luck. I would recommend looking ahead, to find potential employers and work sites. Shortly after graduating, i took an overseas posting for nearly 3 years, because it was "meals and quarters furnished", and i would have no food or rent expenses. I saved enough whilst overseas to pay for 2/3 of my present house. Not a bad deal overall. Cheers.
