School sucks!

[christyf5]

I'm just finishing up a course myself. I did 3 nights a week and worked full time. Ding! I. AM. DONE. Almost halfway through my practicum (2 weeks) and then I can have my life back hopefully

Always good to learn something new. I have three trades under my belt and who knows
what the future holds.

I would go to school if work paid for it and I went during work hours

Never too old to learn more Laurie.
Good luck with your classes.

Not to old to learn, just to old after getting up at 5:30am to get to work on time for 8am, then work all day with children (at a daycare centre) until 5pm, eat dinner at work then go to school for 6pm, then try to stay awake during a 3 hour long lecture (from 6pm-9pm) with only a 10 min. break!

That would be much better

after working for the past 2.5 years after dropping college i honestly can't wait to go back. working a trade has for sure given me a reason to get a higher education. You need to sweat and bleed for pennies before you appreciate what you can obtain with a good education.

I enjoyed University, but I think I enjoyed the parties at University better...

Levi...not even 20?!?! great, now I feel old

I've been saying it for 14 years now... "I'll go to university next year"

Maybe I should just stop saying it - cuz I'm pretty sure it'll never happen. Perhaps I've got the opposite view from lorenz0, I like working in the trades - even if I did graduate(? ok broke body parts so I was forced) into the desk job...

I hated school with a passion, couldn't wait to be done high school, all these safety and training courses I do are bad enough reminders... I think I'll probably just stop saying "next year" and just smile every time I show an engineer or architect his/her head is up his/her <bleeep> - cuz at least I didn't waste 4+ years to loose my common sense
