Lifestyle choice advice please

[The_Dover]

The way we have gone with NZQA why don't you do a degree in possum trapping, surely you won't have to start again cos there must be some cross credits avail to you. Ask Dover he lives in the Bronx and knows where lots of vermin live, with the advice I've dished out on this site I could be a social worker and I never realised I could even be a careers advisor too. I'm f..ked if I know what to do with Skidmark yet. But we are all working on it. Maybe I've go talent in a Psychiatry. Scumdog suggest I'm got a leaning to law as well. But I will never hop on a Honda.

I don't think you'll ever make an England teacher with speiling and grandma like that.

Our society has become obsessed with "qualifications" rather than with the gaining of knowledge or skills that can be usefully applied.

What he said! We are neglecting trade training in NZ. I shudder to think how much we will be paying in a few years for some services, because there simply will be more work than people to do it. Having said that 2 of my kids are undertaking a tertiary qualification at the moment. It is the "thing" to do these days.

Most tradesmen can't afford to live here anymore according to Cambell live last night so you think it's bad now wait a couple of years!!!!

Not really, I do like it, I just like other stuff more.

No disrespect intended, but do you realise just how whiney, spoilt and adolescent this sounds?

You have choices [lucky you - many people don't] - you've asked for advice and been given it [quite politely most of the time, too]

no-one can complain we are an uncaring bunch but this now going around in circles [with macarbe diversions by dover and finn] and is becoming irritating ................

time to either piss or get off the pot.


oh - and good luck with it, whatever you decide

Read the first post in the thread, not all the others.
So maybe this has been said before, but not gonna read through four pages of whatever:

Take a while off, go trapping, it's a great outdoorsy lifestyle.
Make sure you can come back to your course though, after a year or whatever.
Life is about enjoying it, don't feel you need to stay at uni cos you are expected to by whoever.

Nah you'll just end up a raving alcoholic hermit shacked up in a hut in the middle of nowhere growing pot and scaring the odd tramper like a modern day CATWEASLE!!!! And if you dont know who cat weasle is you need to visit a library and look him up!!!

I must admit when I saw this thread on LIFESTYLE CHOICE I thought you were coming out!!! Imagine my releif to discover you only wanted to give up a quality education to go trapping WHEW!!!!!!

[The Pastor]

I should I put this on, I already have the job, 3 years experiance in the civil/geo technical engineering field, so I can get a job as I actually know a little about things.

I've never ever had problems getting work at all - I seem to have a talent for getting a job, (got all my mates jobs as well).

Now on a slightly differant note, what do cad operators get when they start out? The type who can draw shit up from calcs, not just tracers.

You have bought Finn's Repsol haven't you.I've been told it's a rare example of something that Dover gets a woodie's over (But he hasn't come out yet) so to speak.

Get a semi full time jonb while you study, you will find that once you are used to the hours, it aint so bad. Work 30-35 hours a week and there is plety of time to do a diploma/degree, I did and it meant that I could have coin while studying and also gathering work experience. GET THE STUDY OUT OF THE WAY!

You know, it's funny. I know a dude exactly like this, up north. He's not particularly 'raving', as such, more 'generally sluggish'. Occasionally 'spaced out'.

But he owns the land around his hut free and clear, and he seems quite happy with life. A lot happier than many I know who've spent two or three decades chasing their tails in modern society.

Just remember, you can't take it with you when you go...
