UNI

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

1. York Uni, then Strathclyde (Glasgow).

2. BA Music (2:ii - the drinkers' degree), then post-grad dip in journalism studies (not my choice of title). I also have professional qualifications from the NCTJ. And a grade two figure skating award.

3. Sports writer/sub-editor.

Uni was fun, but only the vocational stuff I've done has been of any practical use.

It depends, James... For my dream job you are supposed to have one. However, Degree in something like Slavic Philology does not get you anywhere :? I ended up working for one the Polish record companies anyway... My mother, who is very academic, just could not understand it - that job was a waste of time in her opinion :D And something I should be ashamed of! When I moved to this country, I'm forced to do all sorts of admin jobs which I hate - slavic philology helped me to get a job with reuters, but I did not like it anyway - full of people pretending to be yuppies (and I thought they were no longer around - after the 80s).
At the moment I do enjoy studying - for the first time in my life I am supposed to spend my free time reading. And I love reading. :D

1- Kingston Poly, German Economics and Politics
2- Nope. Left after a year, or to be more precise was told I'd left due to non attendance.
3- Sales


And while we're at it it's one of the bigger regrets in my life that I didn't pull my finger out and finish the course.

I blame the amalgamation of three of the private schools. All used to have sombre apparel (apart from Stonefield which was a rather yakky green striped affair) Someone obviously thought it would be a good idea to throw ALL the colours together.
