Like working in a shop or something

i guess any form of employment would count as a job

Well I reckon it's a bit tough to get career type jobs in uni

Job experience here is either an entry level position or an internship in the line of work you are going for

And I'm only in second year. It's rather different having to deal with exams and assessments during quarantine than it normally is. I know people have it much worse than me so I don't like to moan, but my own bedroom is not a private place. I have nowhere to go to do work and it is having an impact

yeah i get that

I just wish I could be passed like other unis are doing

If there is something I'm super fortunate on, it's that college is completely free for me. I'd feel so much more regret about college if it was paid

yeah that's understandable

I'm not so worried about the stresses of working, I don't intend on moving out or anything

Like as someone who has no passion or desire for academia, and has a useless major, paying like 80K would be so firetrucked

Well, I don't even need to think about that because I still have a year left

Oof yeah, I felt that

Ah it's 3 years for you?

Yep!

Well, medicine and pharmacy etc are longer

UK schooling sounds harder than US

I dunno

eh hard to say

I think it's pretty easy til sixth form

it really depends on your career path

A levels are a bitch

all of STEM is hard as heck tho haha

Yes even Environmental

And I mistakenly thought it'd be easy

oooof

nah STEM is super hard but worth it hard
