just for those people who said Uni is worthless
« on: 06 December 2007, 17:22:28 »

Just occured to me.

Before i left for uni, i was offered a job at my current place (marketing executive), i was being paid by the hour. But they offered me a sallary.

After uni I am in 11k of debt to pay off (student loan) so fairly easy to pay off.

My job I have now after uni (Technical Operations Analyst), is paying 12k more than what i was offered before i went. I am 1k up! whoooo

No you miss-understood, its not the Uni that is worthless but the People that go there ;D ;D ;D









No Really, this is a typical example of the world today, Employees that have been working in such a position for years, with boot loads of experience, are paid a pittance.

Graduates, who have not got a clue about Working life, leave the Uni with a degree and immediately earn twice the amount.

Your right there, we have gone through 3 this year, one was also sacked as he was a project leader on installing a Ģ500,000 extraction unit that was meant for outside, but in his wisdom decided it would work inside, wrong, he was told many times that it was not for the job, but he said it was, his boss was also booted for allowing him to proceed, another one was tasked to make a man cage to be lowered into the deep cellars, when he had finished it was too big to fit in the hole, and these guys were engineering graduates.

 ;D ;D ;D

One thing they don't teach at Uni is common sense. I went to Uni but people around still think that I lack common sense even though I left nearly 16 years ago.

I take my hat off to you guys, you work hard, it just annoys me when these young lads go into industry and people expect them to run before they can walk.

You dont have to be uni educated to earn top money, not shouting off but I did my stint in the forces, i have no papers or trade, but i am a top earner and this is due to the expierience i picked up doing the job i do now.

I agree...It may be a little harder and take a little longer, but you will get there if you really want to.
