Sort of.

I'm nervous but excited.

I've had a super-crap Summer though; I have had to work my arse off to save money for uni (I need a laptop, TV and so on...). I haven't been able to actually enjoy the fruits of my labour. Oh well, such is life...

So what do you do?

You're doing L100 pure Econ right? :confused:

Or judging by your age, maybe a postgraduate? I am an Alevel student *cue shocked looked on people's faces* but I go to uni next year :cool:

No, he's doing Industrial Relations. I looked at some of the salaries of HR people in London, and I no longer think it's a weird degree to have. Some of the companies were offering 120,000 pounds plus bonuses for Christ's sake. :eek:

What other courses do you think are 'weird'? Just out of interest from an American point of view :cool:

Georgraphy, Environmental Policy, Development Studies, and Gender Studies. :smile:

Didn't realize that Industrial Relations was the equivalent of Human Resources though.

Of course that's more from a non-Marxist point-of-view than from an American one. :smile:

Whats wrong with Geography? :confused:

I've never figured out what exactly it teaches.

Everything! About population, about geology, earth sciences, atmosphere, its very respected!
What degree do you do?

Good luck with your A-Levels.

As Bismark has already said, I will be reading BSc Industrial Relations and Human Resource Management.

I'm a mature student.

What A-Levels are you currently studying, and what would you like to study at university? Which university do you aspire to read at?

If I may ask...?

But does it teach you enough to pursue work in any of those fields? It seems that the subject only teaches random facts and information that will never be used in real life. There is no way you can get in depth information on any of those topics when you have to split time between all of them.

What degree do you do?

None of the ones I mentioned. :smile:

Exactly.

This is because HR is a niche market, for employment that is. :biggrin:

Edit: Bismark I hope you join the TSR/LSE meet up list; which should be taking place on the 26/09/05...

You don't have to become a Crayola representative if you do Geography or a colouring teacher :biggrin:

You can go into anything, it just shows you are able to work at such a high level, especially if you get a 2:1 or higher. Do you agree or disagree?
