I actually like it, mostly.

The SCP internal forum is testament to this fact.

And I'm studying semiconductor fabrication for no apparent reason.

That would explain why I've spent the last 5 months sitting on my arse, twiddling my thumbs.

The fact that the symbol for Java is a giant coffee cup should have tipped you off to the fact that it's not actually a programming language but a method of freeing up people to work in Starbuck surely?

Perhaps.  But I blame...er...everyone else.  Bastards.

(Actually, I really am ****ing depressed justnow with the whole thing.  I wish I'd done a proper degree subject like biology or something, where it might be actually usueful for a change.  Not my choice is between another few months on the dole, or going back to uni to listen to some dick moan on about good 'entrepenuership' when their guest lecturer last year saw his business go bust)

They say you haven't made it until you've failed three times.

[aldo_14]

Only failures say that.

You know, if you were at Caley, I'd be the dick going on about Entrepreneurship - it's a part time job with the Uni.

Can't you make something retailable in java?

[Kamikaze]

Hehe. I almost believed the thread title until I saw the comment line at the top.

Nice joke. :yes:

Have you failed yet, though?  I'm not a fan of this compuslary Business in IT type stuff, myself.  Voluntary - fine.  Compulsary - no.

Probably, but it'd be a bit dicey doing it on me own with no cash.

[color=66ff00]This is why I dropped out of CS after 2 years, I wasn't bad at it but my interest waned when they started teaching the importance of database programming in VB.

Database programming in VB roughly translates as 'make some idiot suit's life easier by making programs that should have a Fisherprice logo on the top right hand corner of every window'.

I'm doing biomedical engineering now so it's quite possible that I may be able to  use my skills to actually do something constructive for the world.

I was doing Computer Systems and Languages as a course about 3 years ago, the 2 languages they chose were....Pascal and Cobol.

Well, I didn't finish the course, not even I'm masochistic enough for Cobol.

[Descenterace]

I firmly believe that no one should be in a management position unless they've spent a year or two at the bottom rungs of the ladder.

In other words, an IT Manager should have some clue about IT. Amazing how many don't.

Which is why I'd be happiest working in a small company. Everyone needs to know a little about everything in that kind of structure.

I wouldn't touch database+vb programming with a ten foot clown pole, myself.  It's probably why i'm still unemployed.
