That's sorta how I feel

[QUOTE=Wanker]That's sorta how I feel[/QUOTE]

Good, that's what I like to hear. Try running a company, if that doesn't burn you out then you'll be a-okay.

Wanker 11-16-2005 09:03 PM

I'd like to concentrate on finishing school right now, thanks.

Happymeal 11-16-2005 09:22 PM

I get the feeling that I'll have to go for a MBA after uni.

Little Man being Erased 11-16-2005 09:30 PM

Why's that? What are you doing?

Happymeal 11-16-2005 09:32 PM

Probably something Finance-related.

Little Man being Erased 11-16-2005 09:35 PM

Ah yeah. Fun. Probably about as fun as Engineering.

Zappa 11-16-2005 09:39 PM

Haha, you guys might as well be dead.

Happymeal 11-16-2005 09:42 PM

Except there's less maths (which I don't really mind eitherway) :). It's either that or Radio + Television, though the nearest school that offers that course is really sucky, or so I've heard.

[QUOTE=Luxor]Do Americans use college to describe all their post-secondary schools? Because in Canada you can either go to university or college. College being for the... not so gifted.

Me gose 2 college =)[/QUOTE]

Yep. See, I'm the "remedial community college" type.

No man, it's really rewarding.

The Great Decay 11-16-2005 09:51 PM

I still have no idea what I'm going to study after highschool.

[QUOTE=The Great Decay]I still have no idea what I'm going to study after highschool.[/QUOTE]
Me also.

Zappa 11-16-2005 09:54 PM

I'm just joking.

I think my college education is going to focus on music and technology. Hopefully I will learn about studio techniques and equipment, but if that doesn't "ring my chimes" as much as I expect it to, I will try to go into composition. If I am found to be a loser by all universities, as I'm sort of predicting, I don't know what I'll do. I hope I can get into a music program, because it's all I care about. I just don't know that I'm good enough.

The Great Decay 11-16-2005 09:55 PM

It bothers me that I only have one more year left of highschool and I have no direction whatsoever.

Little Man being Erased 11-16-2005 09:59 PM

I managed to get a pretty good job out of my degree so I'm fairly happy.

Glitterati 11-16-2005 09:59 PM

[QUOTE=The Great Decay]It bothers me that I only have one more year left of highschool and I have no direction whatsoever.[/QUOTE]

Same here.

I have a few major interests (music, painting, photography, cinema) but I'm not actually good enough at any of those things to pursue an actual career in said fields and it really worries me sometimes. :upset:

I'd say you're probably in the majority.

The Great Decay 11-16-2005 10:03 PM

That is probably true. But the problem with me is that I do well in most subjects and I tend to find a lot of things interesting, which makes it nearly impossible to narrow down career options.

BillCosby 11-16-2005 10:06 PM

I have no idea what colleges I want to apply to, what I want to major in, or what I want to have a career in.

I got a while (I'm a junior in high school), but still. I need to get on that.

Luxor 11-16-2005 10:08 PM

^ That's really not that long. You pretty much have to decide a few months into your senior year. It sneaks up on ya.

[QUOTE=The Great Decay]That's not entirely true. There are certain things you have to go to college for, regardless of your level of intelligence. There are also programs where you go to university and then you go to college to get hands on experience, like most engineering careers.[/QUOTE]
That's true, but not for engineering. That's a university program. My best friend is at Mac for engineering and my dad went to Ryerson.

U of T miss. campus? That's the closest to you right? Mississuaga is close to so many universities/colleges though. You could go anywhere.

Glitterati 11-16-2005 10:09 PM

I almost bought the Fargo DVD for $10 tonight.

Actually I was talking about Ryerson, UTM I didn't really bother to gather info on. Haha. Right now I'm thinking of either U of T or Ryerson. But York is another possibility.

Tangy zizzle 11-16-2005 11:15 PM

Haha. University is overrated. You're all likely to change your major or stay undeclared for like a year, and if your doing music you'll drop out.

Kinda off the topic, why the hell would anyone want to study music and break it down so much that it becomes work not interest? music is fun, it's not about education and forced learning man.

That's always been my excuse for not studying music. I think my abilities have suffered as a result, though.

Well they're pretty horrible.

biografiend 11-16-2005 11:34 PM

I've been really thinking about graduating high school early next year, and going to college to pursue either/a combination of Literature, Fine Arts, Electronics, or Philosophy. Im really leaning towards the Literature, though, with a Fine Arts minor, although it is kindof a worthless major job-wise.

Nth Degree by Morningwood is officially addictive.

[QUOTE=Zmev]Nth Degree by Morningwood is officially addictive.[/QUOTE]

As is Electric Light Orchestra.

Well, I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone :)

Plus it's waste. The only thing you can do with a music degree is become a teacher.
