University!? After three all nighters, I presented yesterday for the finals of my degree. I think my course is one of the last to finish but who else on here is celebrating the end of their 'box ticking' education? Apart from getting a job , what have you planned for the summer? Top of the list for me is to get my 205 back on track. ;D

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.

Graduated in 2000 too, cant say its made too much difference for me. If you wanna see someone making waves since uni, have a look at blowimps thread at the top of the readers rides section, infact he'll be too busy to post on this one! Edit: oh check out racer86's summer progress too

it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts

I never went to uni and have always worked alongside people who did...And who have been at least 5 years older than me. To save the thread from VZi-esque levels of 'Which Trousers?' farce: 510 + 13B + 16x12 rear rims = 510 + 13B = Got presence? *n

Well done to all recent graduates, but remember, this is when the hard work really starts Oh and that bit of paper is NOT a licence to be paid mega-bucks straight away. I had to start 'bottom rung' even with a degree on about £9k a year, which sucked mightily. And to keep it a bit relavant... don't do what I did after graduating: Took out one of those wonderful 'graduate loans' the bank dangles in front of you, bought a 'proper' car (ie. one that wasn't old, rusty, smelly etc.). It was an utter mistake as that car was the least reliable I ever had and it cost me a fortune, and ultimately made me very miserable. Keep it retro - keep it real.

I passed a while ago, and I'm doing a job I love.
The hard work starts now, as others have said, don't leave it till September, get yourself out there and expect to work for curse word money to start with, (I'm still on rubbish money now, but its relaxed and fun here, so I don't care!)

Just done a foundation course before uni, got a merit w00t! Year out now to make some moulah and get the clubby done, hopefully learning some important life skills- like welding and spraying.

I ended up having to drop out after my second year due to severe lack of funds and ended up getting a proper job. Always fancied going back to finish my degree, but never happened so far. Career wise I am in the same level of job as if I had a degree but I had to work up to it so its not too bad.
