Another way round it would to become a labourer for a chippy (carpenter), you'll pick up all the skills you require and have more experience than someone who went to college. Plus you'll be earning more than a college student gets during his course.

college is a [!Expletive Deleted!] way to do anything!all they do is waste time and the working mans money!get yerself an apprenticeship old lad!ya get paid [!Expletive Deleted!] to start off but better the longer you stick at it.plus your in the real world not like the rest of the students!i have loads of mates that went to college and they now do sweet FA with their qualifications!be an apprentice mate thats they way to go!

have to agree with you there Jaws, experience of the 'real world' is worth far more than a few bits of paper, especially if your wanting to learn a trade.
-
oops, didn't mean to do that :oops:

Try becoming a gas fitter or electrician without going to college :P

With either of these you learn more of the job whislt doing it, not sitting at a desk, having employed and sacked more tradespeople than i care to remember i'd be chosing apprentice trained everytime, someone who has just done the academic side of things is a waste of time as you spend alot of time getting them upto speed on the actual doing bit of it.
Anyway as Jaws said look for an apprenticship as you'll get much more out of it, if you just go to college you have to convince someone like me to take a big chance on you once you've finished.

Well done dew1911 :D .
Don't know if its a well done, being refused by one would make things far easier :roll:

Yep, gotta agree with you there Kev, I am a Gas fitter and even though I passed my Corgi exams ages ago I still learn new things every day. There is no substitute for "on the job" experience.

Well I spent 5 years at University getting my degree in mechanical engineering and automotive design. I spent nearly as long using it. Then tony B****Liar got into power and things started turning to rat s**t. Spot the manufacturing industry now!
If I'd had to pay for my Degree, I'd be demanding a refund. There are way too many school leavers going to Uni for no good reason, a lot of courses just have big ears and a squeeky voice, if the country needs 50% of school leavers to have a degree, the country should pay. It doesn't pay because it doesn't need.
It's just a good way of getting them all off the dole for 3 years, saddling them with debt so they darn't be out of work and then finally raise the retirement age so they have longer to pay their debts off.
Best thing is now a degree gets you the jobs 'A' levels got you when I left school, so where have we gone? and with the national minimum wage the differential between a 'good' job and a cr4p one is erroded. As a project leader I took home less than a machine operator, and on an hourly rate the cleaners did better than any of us!

how come i read this with out seeing the mistakes
i did an apprentiship and went to college 3 nights a week for 3 years and got quallified as a mechanic
my m8 cleans windows and made more than i did when i quit
when i was at college i could buy70 gallons of petrol with my wages and i could only buy 60 gallons with my wages at present if i was still in the motor trade
so was college worth it

nah college is a waste of time.you can get a degree in almost anything but most degrees are useless.
college;
1) get accepted 2) get into debt through heavy drinking and being a social sponge 3) think your better than everyone else because you have a degree in box making,sports physiognomy or some other none life relevant thing. 4) go into the real world find out that in actual fact you've just wasted years of your life with only a piece of paper to show for it. 5)end up working at McD's to pay off the debt you are in.
apprenticeship
1) leave shool and get accepted thinking you're the be all and end all. 2) get the beating of your life for mouthing off at someone several time larger than you. 3) get paid minimum wage for learnin a trade and going to part time college. 4) get the experiance that working with a reputable company gives you for free whilst saving the pitance you earn. 5) qualify,get [!Expletive Deleted!] at graduation and reflect on the 2 cars that you bought out right,whilst looking forward to the brand new fiesta st150 you orderd yesterday!
now you tell me who's better off?i did day and block release,i qualified earlier this year.i'm 20 and as above have just orderd a brand new st150.making it the 3rd car i have owned 4th if you class the zook!how many college students can do that with their own money?i pay board,and taxes plus i don't have to search for a job because apprentice's normally stick with the company that's trained them!i started on £2.23 an hour 4years ago now i'm on nearly 5times that amount!
-
i don't have to search for a job because apprentice's normally stick with the company that's trained them
dont be so sure,finish my time as a mech in 2 weeks & guess what?

because apprentice's normally stick with the company that's trained them
