Luke Drewery Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I went to an open evening at John Leggott college (local college I want to go to) and I am quite sure on doing Geography, History, Electronics and Design. After I have taken those subjects I have to go down the route of either the first two or the second two, so it kind of leaves it open for me.

Ali C Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I did a BTEC ND graphic design course I was ok, did the two year course with mainly deplomas, but I discovered graphic design was too much work for my liking. I HATED the computer stuff, that really gave me a headache, I just dont do computers. The drawing bits were good though. All in all, it hasnt helped me in my future career of a professional bum.

nb88 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 i'm in my 2nd year of college doing Physics, Geography and ICT. Its going alright.... also took Biology AS but dropped it as i got a D. Ive applied for a foundation engineering course for uni, so i dont need maths to get in, and if i pass the first year it means i can go into a lot of science and engineering degrees, e.g. mechanical or computer science.

Really stuck in this year But yeh I just wanted to do subjects that I enjoy instead of thinking o god I hate this subject and it just being a waste of time.
