i check up on peoples employment history and identity and boring shit like that. you never find out anything juicy...except for the fact that a lot of nigerians get their friends to phone up pretending to be university registrars, and kids from certain east london colleges tell porky pies about their a level results :(
i get to look at pictures of nasty injuries / conditions. I also learned that my smoking habit will definitely result in a very swift and very painful end. Good for weight loss though! ha.
gashes.
I work in fracture clinic so i see a lot of people with barbaric looking external fixators (i.e metal screwed into their heads etc etc)
I also used to work in lung cancer. Not nice. 14" tumours...
BA (Hons) Language Studies and Cultural Criticism. Not a degree that has "employability" written all over it. spent 6 years in a job i hated and then managed to find my way to a job i like. Both totally different from my degree.
one of which I am not, its a stable job for me, but never the smug faced arse the stereotype is attatched to. The job I have is a useful one in affordable housing.
Now work in a hospital, in a small workshop in the basement, designing/making things for wards, rehab devices, adjusting stuff like wheelchairs, mending beds, gas flow equipment and whatever else the nurses break. So got pretty lucky with that.
At least normally. Today and yesterday I've just been sitting around as no-one else is here and I have to man the phone in cae there's an emergency.
MEGALOLZ.
But am intending on doing English Lit, Politics or something soon. Just cause I'm bored.
I really really really should've done Graphics or similar. Now I am too old and I will have to work down the pit to pay for my childrens education, then force them into a career that they loath so i can live my life through them.
I'm worried that the open university courses I am chosing won't add up to a specific degree and I'll end up with an 'Open Degree' and look like a total flake that no one would employ.
But obviously I'll have written my book by then.. pffft
I've just finished my first year of it, got another 3 to go (I get to spend a year studying in America). As for a career, I really couldn't care less about one if I'm honest. I have no interest in earning big sums of money or having some high flying career, unlike most of the people I live with who seem only to be at university so they can get a "good" (ie well paid) job at the end of it all and have some nice career path to follow.
Luckily I bagged a decent job at the end of it, which is surprisingly rare for those doing journalism courses. I should have studied history or a language at BA level, though.
I am not religious. I work in publishing, specifically Children's Books publishing. It is very fun. Today our marketing director dressed up in one of our new character suits we recently had commissioned... tee hee...
Starting philosophy+french in September.
Could drastically change by the end of the 4 years though.
latitude 01
360
i'm not settling for anything less.
I am three years into
a BA(HONS) in Sculpture. Awesome.
Politics & IR
Hahaha, that was a waste of time.
Brilliant 3 years though.
ive got a degree in art and design history
and what is your current job?
i work for a risk analysis company :(
is that a bit like edward nortons character in fight club?
its EXACTLY like that
hmmmf :(
is it wrong...
that it sounds appealing?!
what,
having an art history degree, working for a risk company or being like edward nortons character in fight club?!
the job...
..sounds like it could be interesting for at least 5 minutes. I work in a hospital. that is most definitely NOT. FUN.
its not very interesting
i check up on peoples employment history and identity and boring shit like that. you never find out anything juicy...except for the fact that a lot of nigerians get their friends to phone up pretending to be university registrars, and kids from certain east london colleges tell porky pies about their a level results :(

i get to look at pictures of nasty injuries / conditions. I also learned that my smoking habit will definitely result in a very swift and very painful end. Good for weight loss though! ha.
whats the nastiest injury/condition of them all?
there have been some rather nasty...
gashes.
I work in fracture clinic so i see a lot of people with barbaric looking external fixators (i.e metal screwed into their heads etc etc)
I also used to work in lung cancer. Not nice. 14" tumours...
I have a degree in interior & spatial design.
The job I do now is not totally unrelated, but it has certainly swayed from the "interiors" route.
BA (Hons) Journalism.
I am now, sort of, a journalist.
Winner.
^5
i dont think writing about sweaty tits on DiS counts as journalism
:D
it would be ace if DiS employed people to be like bamos
I'm not sure many people agree with you.
one is enough
BA Politics...
Currently temping (no job at the moment), before starting an MA in Journalism in September.

MSc Health Psychology

Clean driving licence
Adept in software applications including the internet, Minesweeper and Mario Kart 64
Was the LOL intentional?
I guess so...?
I did two of them so yes
I just think it is the most stupidly titled degree ever. Basically means "we don't discuss Freud".
pretty much SNAP
Although I have deleted minesweeper off every Windows PC I have access to, and I was never no good at MK64. The internet also loves me like a sunbeam.
I have a series of learn-at-home French CDs, that counts right?
j'aime le musique folk
j'habite dans une maison
avec une toilette
i have the same degree as whiterussian! (or half of it)
BA (Hons) Language Studies and Cultural Criticism. Not a degree that has "employability" written all over it. spent 6 years in a job i hated and then managed to find my way to a job i like. Both totally different from my degree.
^5!
although i've only finished my first year of it. it might not have employability written all over it, but man, i'm having a lot of fun
exactly
three years of FUN and then having to put up with a low paid job for a few years >>> three years of ENGINEERING and then straight into the grind.

I've been working as a Regional Planning Assistant for the last year, I leave in 18 days and start my MA in Planning in September.
the planning MA is pretty good

Mechnical Engineering MEng
heavily tilted towards biomedical stuff
Now work in a hospital, in a small workshop in the basement, designing/making things for wards, rehab devices, adjusting stuff like wheelchairs, mending beds, gas flow equipment and whatever else the nurses break. So got pretty lucky with that.
At least normally. Today and yesterday I've just been sitting around as no-one else is here and I have to man the phone in cae there's an emergency.

EXTRA ACE
Media Technology & Sound Engineering BSc (Hons)
MEGALOLZ.
But am intending on doing English Lit, Politics or something soon. Just cause I'm bored.
I really really really should've done Graphics or similar. Now I am too old and I will have to work down the pit to pay for my childrens education, then force them into a career that they loath so i can live my life through them.
I think thats what my parents did with me
Now I've got a mishmash of qualifications and experience.
Jack of all trades, master of none. Which makes plotting a career path rather aimless.
I have a degree in Physics.
Next year I will be taking a PGCE in the same subject.
Ed Balls wants me to have a masters and still get paid an average salary. Ed Balls can fuck off.

BSC Maths & Philosophy

But obviously I'll have written my book by then.. pffft
I'm not sure how the OU works

American Studies,
I've just finished my first year of it, got another 3 to go (I get to spend a year studying in America). As for a career, I really couldn't care less about one if I'm honest. I have no interest in earning big sums of money or having some high flying career, unlike most of the people I live with who seem only to be at university so they can get a "good" (ie well paid) job at the end of it all and have some nice career path to follow.
doing business computing and IT
currently in my 3rd year, on placement at a reasonably well known aerospace company working in supply chain.
The only thing i have decided so far is i don't want to work in supply chain.
BA Journalism, Film and Broadcasting - an epic waste of time
MA International Journalism - thankfully, of use.
Luckily I bagged a decent job at the end of it, which is surprisingly rare for those doing journalism courses. I should have studied history or a language at BA level, though.
I have a BA (Hons) in Theology and Religious Studies
I am not religious. I work in publishing, specifically Children's Books publishing. It is very fun. Today our marketing director dressed up in one of our new character suits we recently had commissioned... tee hee...

BSc in Physics
PhD in Theoretical Nuclear Physics
I am now an office worker.
