omgnoseat Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hello everyone, i'm in my last year of highschool now, but i don't got the slightest idea what to do after thati want to continue my study, but i can't think of anything interesting/funI'm talking about a fulltime job here, with which i can pay the rent and food and all that stuffim basicly searching for a fun, good paying jobI'm doing HAVO atm (think it works different in england though)I know that this is something that i should do on my own, but its getting really close now and i'm getting kind of desperateSo i thought that someone here might want to tell about his fantastic job or an idea of a nice job Sorry if this has been asked before but the search came up with really random topics which have nothing to do with workThanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) Well i just did my 2nd week as an apprentice plastic injection molding technician, and its f**king mint!!Jobs everyday are different so its not boring, get covered in shite from the machines and the satisfaction from purging the moulding barrel and getting out a perfectly molded product is ace Already done a 2 year engineering course btw which helps with my job now Edited October 12, 2006 by Si-man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomR Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Civil engineering? Very very basic physics needed, ie 'water runs downhill' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 That's exactly what I was like. I was going to do media as a f**k about corse but thought there's not really much point as im not into it that much so did carpentry instead and it's awesome Just go to college and go on a corse you want to do, if you don't like it you can just switch courses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Civil engineering? Very very basic physics needed, ie 'water runs downhill' I can assure you its anything but basic. You need to be bloody good at maths and half decent at physics to understand pretty much anything in civil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I can assure you its anything but basic.

Fixed Pants™ Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) Backing up everyone that said do something in the trade.Do something like mechanics, it'll beneit you so much bike wise, car wise, money wise etc...Me think's i'ma do mechanics or something along the lines of that if i don't go to 6th form. It'll either be an apprentiship or a college course. Edited December 15, 2006 by Fat Pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickycoleman Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 well yea, im pretty sure i'm going to like photography but i'm not sure if i will be able to make of a living out of it.. Please don't go down that path, photography is one of those courses for people that "dont achieve" or fail at everything else, Do something useful like languages, maths or an apprenticeship. I don't see how you can make a living out of photography, you can buy cameras that do all the work for you nowadays, so whats the point?

I think you'll find that intelligent "achievers", who motivated by a sense of individual identity, also choose the subject of photograpghy for study. And useful is a relative term.

Gavyn. Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I can assure you its anything but basic. You need to be bloody good at maths and half decent at physics to understand pretty much anything in civil.you need advanced higher maths for that here not sure what the equivelant is in england and holland but it's the hardest thing you can do in school here closely followed by physics.my granda was a civil engineer he also did a degree in arcitecture but just before he left he was designing bridges and roads now he's just drawing plans for private extensions/conversions. i think for designing bridges your going to need to know a fair bit about physics.
