    what a crock of shit. may be that's how it worked when only a few studenty wankers did degrees but every tom, rangi and kok wee has a degree these days.

    come out with shit loads of student debt (ooh interest free), work like a nigger on "graduate" wages for a few years and watch the cock smokers and sycophants "advance". all the while dealing with fucking morons with "degrees". in what? being a fucking retard.

    go trapping, kill things. get the fuck out of the shit hole rat race.

    and btw, proper and has one pee. your degree wasn't england literature was it?

    i've got a degree and i will gladly sell it, along with all of my university transcripts, to any one who wants it. it's worth fuck all to me. we can sort out the name thing at a later date. remember, by the time you have to worry about that you'll be smart enough to find a solution. you've got a degree. a damned good one.

    25 grand and its all yours. no studying and half the student debt at the end of it. instant.

    I'm not sure if it's a complete waste of time Dover. You're the cleverest cunt I've met in a long time. You just look stupid.

    Well you seem more knowledgable than most about these subjects mate. What has Finn got you doing these days?

    I understand alot of you don't know what your talking about so i'll forgive your ill advice.


    getting a degree gets you a job, not job training or understanding of the subject you studdied.

    And as far as the engineering field goes, a diploma is more than an acceptable qual, my dad only had his diploma and he now commands heaps bro.

    You learn heaps when you get the job, uni just teaches basic principals and formulas (which a spreadsheet replaces the need for..... hehe)

    I don't like to borrow money, and if I take this job for a year I will easily save up enough to pay for ALL of the 2 years I have left. The trapping job pay is around the same pay as what I get after I finish my dip.

    Also, the place where I have my job is awesome as far as lifestyle goes, no city less people (read less honduuurrrs) and I already have a ton of mates up there. And the roads, pure kawasaki awesome.

    It's all about focus those who have the degrees/diplomas show that they have the concetration to stick it out. What will be the next excuse for leaving trapping. Everything gets boring, even Finn gets bored spending, back me up here Finn.
    This argument is very vaild, however it is void in my case.

    I think that all work (no matter what) is boring and I'd rather be doing somthing else, like riding my bike. I do not bore easily, I am not bored at uni or at my current engineering bum job (been there 3 years already!). I am not saying every job IS boring, there are "fun" jobs out there, for example being rossi. If jobs were sussposed to be your source of entertainment, you would not get payed for them, the companys arnt there to make you happy, its the other way round. Im not saying you can't enjoy your job or have a passion for a job. Its a good thing to have both those things and I belive you get more work done in that enviroment. For me i'd rather be fishing or riding or working on my bike than any job (even if i was a fisherman or mechainic or even a trapper).

    I know I don't make much sence, but i'll try again in the morning - been at uni for over 12 hrs today >_

    Cheers

    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Hey money doesn't make the world go round, but it makes the ride a lot more fun.

    I left school in the 5th form. If I had the opportunity to go to Uni I would have jumped at it. I heard the girls were easy.

    Ah, you have several good points there grass hopper.

    However, registered civil ginger beers charge faster than gixers, and earn more than it takes to run a killer SUV

    A poor analogy, but then I didn't do an arts degree / ride a honda / MV

    You won't be saying that in 25 years. Look, a degree or diploma won't do you any harm and even if it's just a piece of paper, most of the people that will interview you have similar pieces of paper and like this shit. It's shows that you have the ability and commitment to learn.

    If you went to school in NZ chances are you came out dummer than when you went in. At least our Universities are based on some backward world standard and heck, some countries even recognise NZ Uni degrees. You get one crack at this son, don't fuck it up for the sake of 2 years and the chance to ride a shiny new bike. Those times will come and they will be less stressful.

    Get an education.
