To me accounting for some reason is just a walk in the park.
Law, i mean, do i need to know in the future about women falling off of toilets and suiing?? Do i really need to know???
Managing (i will have passed it but thats not the point!)? If i wanted to be a manager, then i would have taken a managing degree.
Economics? blaa blaaa blaaaa

I started off in Uni doing Accountancy, and had to do Micro/Macro-Economics and The History of British Economics...
Passed all the Accounting & Maths modules pretty easily, but failed the Economics ones......ended up changing to Maths, and got that degree instead!

I've been like this all the way through school aswell. I just dont see the point in doing shite, which is NOT needed or will ever be used again, which also depresses folk! At school i'd do accounts easy enough, but never seen tghe point in learning about integers and all the advanced maths sh1te.

Want to know the best of it???
I'm suppose to be at a macro-economics lecture at the moment but i know that if i went i wouldnt pick anything up cos all the guy shows is bloody graphs. Graphs, graphs, graphs!!!! And that would p1ss me off even more so i'd end up in a worse state.

Pick a better Course then, do your research find out what modules you will be doing over the 3/4 years. Didnt you research this degree before you applied for it? you must have known it would have had the Law and management modules?

No i didnt bother because, i went on a work experience placement in third year at school to an accounts office, and worked every summer since then in their. They asked me every time if i wanted to stay on if i was leaving school.
Accounts to me is easy. End up with BIG bucks, but i just cant stick these other daft modules.
I'm one of those folks that is more than capable of being an accountant, but i also love doing manual work e.g. basically using my hands for anything other than typing and writing.

So i know, so i know. Also looking for a part-time job. Probably can get into the accounts office again for some work when i aint at uni, but to be honest, i'd rather leave the shirt and tie job till later on, and hopefully get a "hands on" part-time job for the momento.

Thats whats in ma head.
The right thing i'm sure is to stick it out and stay on at uni, but i know folks that are on BIG money and have NO qualifications whatsoever!
e.g. about a year ago, my mate had earned £28,000 in one year for doing electrical work of some sort around the country. And he is far more than a few toppings short of a pizza!!!

Think i've decided that i'll stay on, maybe.
Got one thot and only one thot:
If i get a part time job doing whatever, then student loan amount in my bank is getting spent on the car, like it or lump it!
