I started my new job as a waitress on Monday. Wearing a bulky black dress, a white apron, a white headband, black tights and 'flat' shoes. I look like a complete...well, muppet. :-/

I'll try and get a picture up so you can all mock me :)

[Eskimo]

honestly im up at 5:15am and get back from BMW at 6:00pm, and your complaining about being knackered you orible lot :)

:rolleyes:

[Ruth]

Oh dear, we've obviously struck a nerve.

I guess it just depends on your stamina. I have no stamina at all, i need 6 hours minimum sleep a night or i just dont function at all. My boyfriend however..i swear to gawd, he never sleeps. It sends me into a wild panic though. I hope i dont nag him too much :-/

[Jarmin]

you women things make it sound like it's hard to do a days work

[Uruk-hai]

work = force(N) x distance moved(m)

:p:

physics is crap and i dont know if thats right...


I dont work. Im in school :( Some may say thats work but since i dont get paid i say it isnt.

[Big Giant Head]

Don't knock school, it'll lead to you getting paid more when you do leave ;)

So you make up for it :)

[Uruk-hai]

dentist do get paid alot dont they....... and they get to cause pain...:D

[Zenith]

I agree with BGH. Do your stuff at school and college/uni. Get qualified.

I didn't, and I ended up back in college 10 years later studying for a HNC in Business CIT.

[Say_Ten]

I went right through the uni path and ended up in a career completely irrelavent to my course. Turns out if I'd wanted to follow my degree course on in the side I was more interested in I'd still have to have started as a tea boy :(

Culture m8, BMW Plant Oxford - New Mini

im work in the field of IT, and as for someones comment of staying at school getting you more money... pfft a 5 year BMW apprenticeship is worth more to an employer than 5 degrees in IT, experience is the way forward m8

(plus you get paid)

[Eskimo]

if your into IT or Business that is. If you wanted to fly a plane for example... GO TO FLIGHT SCHOOL!

That's correct, measured in Newton-Metres

[Brains-Lans]

After college i think i might get some real "IT field" experiance, rather than going to Uni, also i doubt id be able to afford it anyway.

so should i stay in the education system or should i go?

i have a year and 3 months till i leave college, but your thoughts would be good

[Big Giant Head]

I left education at the end of 6th form because I felt I wouldn't enjoy any course I took at uni, nor gain sufficient experience and knowledge etc to make it worthwhile

its 3-4 years of your life and a large financial committment don't go if you're not sure

but make sure you have an idea of what you're going to do if you don't go to uni, ie speak to companies before the end of 6th form

If you're not sure apply anyway, you can always say no if they offer you a place

[Endor]

WEll im in my final year at uni and yer it gets hard etc. BUT good things

1st 3 years were a laugth. U get to drink cheap beer. And if u cant be bothered to get out of bed in the morning cos of a late night/hangover/both, well noone cares, no employer to shout at u etc etc.

Ah the oxford plant.

I used to work for BMW finance which is not too far from BMW GB. Just wondered if you were working in bracknell... :)

Okay then, here is my potted history of what I did leaving school.

During the summer break between lower and upper sixth form, I had a week of what could be classed as depression. I told myself that I wasn't going back to school and told my folks the same thing. They said that if I started looking for work with extra training then they would be okay about it.

So I started looking for jobs in labs as a lab technician. I found a few, and had a couple of interviews (remember, this was all during the summer break). I started back at school in September, much to my annoyance.

One week later, I got a letter from Pilkington Glass saying that I had got the job of trainee lab technician based on my GCSEs and that they would send me to college one day a week to get a BTEC ONC in Science. I walked into the office of my headmaster and essentially told him to go **** himself.

Two years of day release later, I was a qualified lab technician. I stuck the job out for 4 years before wanting to move on.

I bounced around a couple of short jobs until I got a job working in another lab doing blood tests. What was surprising is that they took on someone in the labs who wasn't a graduate (me). What was even more surprising was that I got a promotion 2 years later to Senior Lab Technician meaning that I was in charge of the running of the lab on a day-to-day basis.
This was a straight case of experience in preference to qualifications. By the age of 24, I had 6 years of lab experience when a graduate had 3 years.

I gave up that job to go cross-train in IT. I did a number of parttime City&Guilds courses (PC Installation, Networking, Programming) until I finally took on a fulltime HNC (2 year course in 8 months). I completed that in August 2001 and I had a job by 10 September 2001.

So don't talk to me about skipping college altogether. You might start work earlier and get the working experience, but you still need to get qualified one way or another.
