I'm on my very last year of undergraduate studies. I'm so stoked and yet I'm so sad. I'm stoked because I can try out medical school if I make, or help out with research and have something named after me! And I'm only 20!

I'm in the merry year of Grade 9, I think its Grade 9,(English Year 10 and Scottish [For Scotland!] S3). It may be a freshman year for some but my school has the two previous years leading up to it all in the one jolly school :-)

Although half, if not all, of the people in my grade act practically half their age. Sheesh...

 

Don't knock it till ya try it tongue.png

granted I have an excuse, but being nearly 30, and told I act (and sometimes told i look) half that... its actually better IMO.

I get to still have this thing called "fun" while everyone else bogs themselves down with BS "mature" crap...

Should be able to have fun and get older IMO, screw maturity! at least until it kills me.. but thats 150k for someone.. so they get to start partying then!

@@GrimCW,

 

By 'half their age', I mean that they have this childish drama, and no one's getting any fun from it. 

 

It's okay to have fun, but not at the expense of others :3

 

Ahh that kind of half their age...

Literally speaking at your age though, thats not half anyones age.. And hate to break it to you honestly, but thats going to be life at any job you'll ever take after school too...

My Ex was always appalled at the drama that takes place at work, as if she were back in HS again....  People thrive off the drama for some reason, so they'll take it with them right down to the retirement home..

I'm in 12th and* college. The high school I was attending found out somethings about me and wanted to send me to get a certificate in IT, so I went with it. It's been a rather good year so far, still hoping to go even farther as the year ends.

GL with that.. they always brag about it being always in demand, yet every IT i've ever met was stuck in alternate jobs, usually as far away as things like a wal mart stocker (My ex is the wal mart stocker, someone else I know is a chicken farm attendant instead.. And have met a number at various factory and fast food jobs I've passed through).... Just had to say something. TBH was gonna bite my tongue but...... I'd hate to find out someone else was goaded into a bad one (something they love doing to people it seems..)...   Do check how the demand is in your area before being stuck with debts and a not-so-useful degree!!!!

 

I tried IT for a bit, but the teachers constant stupidity made me give up real fast (we were teaching her!) tongue.png That and it was when I learned it was essentially a dead path out here.

Has been snipped~

Thanks for the heads up, though it was a free way to get a starting degree and that is good to put on a resume. 

 

I've also heard about the so call "great demand" But that is really for medical technicians with the new Ipads and new devices in hospitals.

If its free, No complaints there smile.png Thats why I went military personally :P Even when my GiBill dries up, theres a TON of other options. State, federal, and local. And I pay nothing in return (well.. I did pay for the GiBill... but that was the only one)

But I've seen lots of people up to their ears in Student loan debt and plenty of degrees, but no jobs for the chosen fields....

As to the med tech... CNA here smile.png going LPN next year hopefully...

Now that is an in demand job smile.png

Dropped out of high school when I was 14 or 15, so that's not great. I feel really bad about it now, most people my age (21) are in university. I really screwed up, but I am thinking of getting back into education in some form.

I'm 25, but I chose the "older than 25" option. Close enough. 
 
Graduated from high school in 2006 and finished with college in 2008. Time really flies. As a kid making his way through school, it felt like it would last forever. The seven years following have been a blur. While I wish I didn't have to contend with the obligations and expenses of adult life, I certainly prefer it to school.
 

I'm a Freshman, and I hate it. You have three groups of people looking down on you at all times, and you have to share the halls with them every day.

 
Don't worry. In less than a year, the ones at the third of those groups will be gone and will quickly discover that whatever reputation they had in high school is absolutely worthless, they're nobodies, and freshmen at life. They're about to get a metaphorical ass kicking. The same will happen to the people behind them the following year, and so on. It's a natural cycle.
 
 

I'm currently in my third year of college.  It's confusing for me, I can't quite tell if I'm older than most people on these forums or younger.  Maybe I'm right in the middle?  It probably doesn't matter, but I'm still curious.

 
A few years older than most.

Everything you had to say on the matter was quite interesting, but this is the most crucial point. IT personnel are a dime a dozen these days. Want a job that feels appreciated, pays well, and where you aren't treated like absolute rubbish? Start investigating other industries. There's no prestige in this business anymore, and the average salary is either below or comparable to jobs in anything else due to how many people have jumped into it. I work for a medical company. The X-Ray guys, who do little more than push a button and use a program that figures out everything that needs figuring for them, make substantially more than guys in my department.

Consider a trade school or just getting certified to do something, rather than getting a degree or diploma. The idea is to learn what you need to do a specific set of tasks and get a job doing it. Degrees are so commonplace these days as to be virtually worthless. I can't tell you how many people were graduating from the university I worked at with bachelor's and masters' degrees in network security and programming, only to be stuck in retail and waiting tables. This dilemma extends beyond the IT industry though. Experience is what employers care about. While it sounds contrary to what most people 40+ or school counselors might tell you, get just enough education to get you by. Any more is a waste of time and money. Personal motivation and efforts can teach you much of what you need to know. Figure out a number of things you would be happy doing, and do as much as you possibly can to get there on your own. Though it may seem the easiest and most logical path to take, jumping into a college course for something may not be the best or most expedient thing to do.

I am currently in my senior year of high school, and it seems as though the years got progressively shorter as I went through high school. I'm going to be both happy and sad to be graduating, happy because I get to move to the next stage of my life. And sad because I'm going to be leaving quite a few of my friends and my favorite teachers.

That's all very true. Right now I'm kind of torn between feeling like a complete failure in comparison to other people my age with degrees and such, and knowing that, in the end, higher education wouldn't really be that useful and would be far too stressful for me to deal with. It's hard to describe, but when I compare myself to others (which I know I shouldn't do) it seems like I should be doing these things.

 

I know all about the problems with being an IT specialist, pretty much everyone wants a job in IT, so jobs aren't exactly plentiful for them. I used to want that too, but I've completely changed my mind on that. I used to think that a job in an office would be appropriate for me, but I've briefly had experience working in an office and it was hell. I don't want to be anywhere near an office now. Right now I have no idea what kind of job I want, not the faintest of clues.

 

The more I think about it the more it seems that university would be a complete waste of time. If I did go to university there is also the possibility that I wouldn't want to stick with whatever field I chose. I know someone who has a degree in engineering and is now an artist, she just got tired of that career. I suppose I'd have to decide what exactly it is that I want to do before I decide if I should go to university for it, but it seems unrealistic at best.

By a long shot on so many levels.

Though in defense of the X-Ray guys, supposedly (I don't know if its true) the actual training is far more intense in regards to what they have to learn, and it costs more to learn.

Always have gotten a kick out of how technical they make a job seem during training, and how much of a breeze it can actually be once your put to it. Then 90% of the training you had, turns up it was WORTHLESS baggage you can dump on the side of the road.

Even with my CNA stuff. While a lot of things taught are important, majority is out of date and not used anymore. Yet its all still on the exam. 

Many parts of it CNA's aren't even permitted to do BY LAW, so being trained in it is entirely moot... but its still on the tests!

We started our Clinicals recently and so many things aren't even covered, and many things that were, aren't even part of the job (though that is subjective, since SOME places will have CNA's do additional tasks. But the place we're working at atm is pretty much 98% work done by CNA's. So its not likely to change much unless I swap down to kids instead of elderly/disabled)

12th grader right here! I can't wait until I graduate highschool soon. My plan is to attend community college to get my gen eds out of the way, then I'll attend a university. Possibly study abroad in a different country or maybe sign up for an internship. My goal is to get a bachelors degree in Sociology to become a Social Worker. Really excited of what's ahead of me in the future.
