Advantages: Get the right course....get good grades

Disadvantages: Took a while to get to the right course :(

I agree with another of the views written, University is totally worth it if you choose the right course.

I started a nursing degree straight from school. In first year, I met tons of great people, had tons of fun but never done much work. In second year I was struggling greatly and realised I loved my social life but did not like the course and definetly did not want to be a nurse. I made excuses for not handng in essays and failed lots of exams :( I talked to my parents and stupidly listend to them saying that I should stick it out until I got my degree. In third year I struggled even more and after discussion with my tutors and some of my peers I decided to pack it in. I left and went and worked full time for a few months....


....and then got the itch to go back to university.....

But I wanted to start again, do a different course something I would enjoy lots and that I felt would give me a fabulous career. I have now started studying business, Im not getting any funding because I have already had funding the first time I went to university.

Now I am working part time and gaining fabulous marks in my business degree course! Well worth it and I have realised that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life...not quite sure what field but once I have my degree I feel there will be many doors opened for me!

Summary: Do what you feel is right! dont always think your parents are right!!
