Raining_again Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I don't find it that hard to work under pressure either. At the moment I'm doing a BTEC Diploma, and last academic year I sat back and chilled out, then did half a years work in the final week and got merits and distictions. This years a different matter though, as the work load goes up and up. I finished my nat diploma last year and i, like you, left ALL of my work til the last minute. I kinna missed exams (mine was all coursework based) cause they were over in a matter of a few hours, but my assignments took me forever! the second year & second term is the hardest especially if like me you didn't do the assignments from the first term whoops! I was never ever motivated to revise for gcses, (i had slipped discs and missed my mock exams) but i thank my lucky stars that i managed to do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I did alright in GCSEs but now I'm getting really fucking lazy. I have so much work to do and I'm not so I'm just getting behind in subjects. The worst bit is I don't care. When it comes down to doing work or seeing my girlfriend I always chose her, I say I'll do it that night but she then just stays at mine so I don't do it then. It's just the same but with my bass playing too. So kids, stay in school and do your fucking work or you'll end up like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompSci Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 i was in the same situation you are in now. i decided not to bother that much. i passed my GCSE's but they were only just passes. i was capable of really high grades as well. now i am training as an accountant and i tell you what i wish i had bothered at your stage. i have wasted 2 years trying to get better grades when i could have done it back then. it has cost me 2 years in training. if i had done better initially i would be qualified now and probably earning £50k a year easy but that is a very hard lesson to learn. dude wtf are u smoking? i mean £50k starting pay for a accountant? i think your teacher has been feeding some pipedream to make u work harder, the average salary for a accountant once qualified is £25,000 and it goes up when u gain experience and the company u join (this if u you do the traditional route i.e uni degree etc) however if u get a degree from a top "red brick" uni like Oxbridge, then it is possible to get at least £30k and up, the only job that will get a a high starting pay with is academic prone jobs like a doctor (which i believe is £70,000) or dentist etc, back to the topic i know how u feel, at gcse i got crap grades (mostly c's d's e's) due to the fact that i was not bothered, however once i hit a level, i started to get my act together and became more motivated due to the fact in summer 03 i was doing degrading job at the airport, which was pushing baggage trolley’s (hey i needed a job), any most of the time people looked down at us, swearing, making fun etc, so i made a pact with my self, i will get to uni and gain a first, so any how when i finished my 2yrs at college (which i miss dearly) pulled ABC grades at a level, (quite a achievement for a person, who was predicted to work in a factory after i leave school) any how i am at uni now doing computer science and its gong well but i may change my advice is to you is get a crappy job some thing like a labour and u will see how hard life is and how worthless u will feel, it'll give you the right motivation n to get back in to education Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
