The free ride is over

Avoid IT at all costs.

What he said. With bells on.

Scary to think that when I get back from Belgium, I'll be in the same position.
I could go back to school to finish the year, but I'd rather work until my chosen course starts in February.
I look back to the start of Year 9 and I remember thinking that high school is gunna be long and hard. It;s been anything but! There have been times where it has been extremely hard and I've hated it, but it's been anything but long. It seems like the last four years is actually one year divided into four terms.

Yeah, it's weird how quick everything appears to be afterward. I remember at the start of this year getting given a calender with all our school days with events on them. I crossed out the 2 days we had completed and thought 'fark, 2 out of 200 days to go. This is gonna take forever'.

if you hate your job, your not in such a good mood when you get up, but super stoked at the end of the day when you can go home, get pissed, ride the bike, root etc.... (probably not so advisable in that order though...)

If you love your job, you don't tend to get the big high at the end of the day when your done, more so on friday arvo....

my mate always says your supposed to hate your job, thats why its called WORK, not super happy fun time, doing something you dislike can make the rest of the time when you don't have to that more fun?? maybe?? i dunno.....

i said something...

Dude, if you find it hard getting up for school you will find it harder getting to work. Hours are longer, less breaks (actually no breaks for people like me) and you have to pull finger and work damn hard for a good career.

Not necessarily so. I hated primary school - was ok with the jobs I've had and have generally enjoyed tertiary education.

Hours are hours and they're all 60 minutes. It's how you spend them that matters.

I wasn't sad leaving 7th form to be honest, I thought I would be. But it made me realise that all the shit from back then no longer mattered.
Leaving uni was a bit different. But we have now got a facebook group and through leaving I have actually become better friends with the nice girls. Leaving school makes you make an effort with those you actually like and want to see.
Saying that, I am going to a 21st on saturday of one of my old school friends, had one two weeks ago and it was just like we had never left school, even though we don't hang out any more. True friends will always be there, no matter what.

Best of luck with deciding on a career. I personally am going to love my job. Do something you are passionate about

And you actually just completed 13 years of it... funny aye
