I was wondering what you did after school. Did you do a course at college or uni? What was your first job? :-) Lucia

Uni and working cos it's expensive. What do you do?

I'm still at school lol :-) Lucia

ah didn't realise, you always come up with such intelligent mature debates. sorry didn't mean to offend school kids just thought u must be older!

Your turning into a real night owl Lucia! LOL I stayed on in 5th year until the Christmas then left. Got a job in BHS Sauchiehall St, and worked there for almost a year until I was old enough to start my nurse training. Regret not staying on at school, think I told you before, I went back to our local high school a few years ago and did Higher English, just to prove to myself I could....was chuffed when I got an A. Hopefully you'll stick in at school and won't wait, like me 'til your almost 40 to pass your exams LOL Christine

Thanks Victoria :-) lol Lucia

What do u wanna do after?, surely ur thinking of uni!

I did A level Biology And a years re traning in genral land managment. (Tree Felling and the like)

Christine, I'm following your example lol. I've been up all evening concentrating on my English folio! Wow you got a good mark for English..Well done! I complained to the school because Higher Modern Studies wasn't available as a course and heard today that they are reinstating it! I'm so chuffed! lol Lucia :-)

Well I've just picked my Highers and have my exams in May. I'm going to stay on to sixth year and I'm hoping to go to uni. I want to something with history. I want to be an archivist or a museum curator. Lucia :-)

Good for you Lucia, does that mean you will be able to drop one of the options you didn't really want to do, and do Modern studies instead? Christine

So what do you do Peter? :-)

I hope so Christine and it isn't in the same column as one of my choices! I'll have to speak to my teacher tomorrow about it, :-) Lucia

wow, i hope you get what u want, ur sure sound smart enough. i'm doing a degree in English, i didn't realise there was so many other humanities involved in it especially psychology.

What uni are you at? :-)

The university of exeter in Cornwall, i'm disabled so i couldn't move away, i wanted to do law but they didn't offer it down here so english it is, its an interesting course though.

I uses to run my own conservation landscaping buiss But had to sell it when the wife got bad and now i look after her. and do research on the computer, paint and thing like that.

wow. If I do get to uni I think I'll find it completely different than school. It sounds like fun, Lucia :-)

Peter, that sounds like a good life lol :-) Lucia

well it's certainly different to school thats for sure, your treated as an adult most of the time, but the work is alot more indepth and intense. i'm sure you'd like it. i can't do alot of the social stuff but i still have fun.
