Passed second year uni - lolsteve - 28-06-2012
woooooooo another year under my belt. Don't have results yet so could be just scrapped through lol but got to be better than the majority of the course who have 2-6 fails
Slight shame though, wanted an excuse to stay longer in this student lifestyle
Anyone else got any results?

Nice one Steve.
And, not Uni, But I passed my level 3 motor vehicle maintenance and repair with triple distinction yesterday.................now just need to find a job!!
RE: Passed second year uni - Niall - 28-06-2012
Welcome Steve!
Tom, that's great news. Now you just need to put it all into practical use! It's one thing learning it but they can't teach you how to work round problems!
RE: Passed second year uni - samass - 28-06-2012
get my results middle of next month... third times the charm!

Cheers Niall, I'm looking for an apprenticeship or even just work experience to increase my practical mechanical skill atm.
RE: Passed second year uni - Eeyore - 28-06-2012

Or maybe you could stop sponging off tax payers and not bother spending extra thousands on a course you don't really need to do.
RE: Passed second year uni - n0v0s - 28-06-2012

Not really, tried all the local places but not enough work apparently. Just gotta keep looking tbh, although my tutor wants me to go to uni. So I thought about a job in anything for s year then going uni next year but I'm not sure atm, uni doesn't appeal to me anyway.
RE: Passed second year uni - lolsteve - 29-06-2012
Niall it ain't sponging if it gets you a higher paid job that means you'll end up paying unfair amounts in tax for rest of your life. Think of it more as in investment that pays out to the local community....s pubs
Tom uni is amazing, really the best time of my life there. Where else can you go out get totally ratted, sleep til 3 next day and get ready to do it again lol
RE: Passed second year uni - Niall - 29-06-2012
Yeah what's the realistic chances of that though? Especially in motor engineering? How many mechanics do you see earning 70-80k a year. Even a senior engineer for the likes of Bentley, Aston ect will only earn 30k ish

for your information a masters you have to fund yourself or be sponsored by a business to do! Also a loan isnt sponging. I dont know what you are thinking about these student loans but you have to pay them back WITH INTEREST so tbh they actually make money! Its the huge grants given to families who earn less than XXX. Some of my coursemates get given thousands to keep and they all just go and buy PS3s etc! D: Its disgusting!
RE: Passed second year uni - Kezzieboy - 29-06-2012
PLUS for myself a masters is incredibly important as I need 4 years of education in order to be eligible for Chartership.
Oh and Niall, you're wrong, senior engineers at Aston get comfortably over £50k a year, I'd know, I know one.
Oh and Sam those grants are what is keeping me at uni, so less of the sweeping statements mmkay?
