[Dave A]

[guska]

That's not north, that's just stupid

 

[SwitchFX]

[Robin]

Enjoy Uni Life dude! 👍

Where is the 'north-south' divide exactly???
Spec is always picking at the things i say and how i say and calling me a variety of 'stupid northerner' terms. But i'm south east, how can that be so??

I'm second year at Lincoln Uni and i think its great. A great night out and a generally nice place! The only thing that spoils it is them southerners!!

Officially? It's a line drawn from Lowestoft to Aberystwyth.

In practice, it's a line made by the M4 between the Severn Estuary and the Thames Estuary.

Northern monkeys and Southern fairies?

 

[Sureboss]

Nah, monkeys don't inbreed...

 

[EXelero]

i'd rather be a monkey than a fairy! and i definately don't inbreed! and due to the invention of motor caravans etc, theres as many 'do as you likies' down south as up north!

Pah, at least we know what sunshine is!

Pfft. In a straw poll of southerners, 62.4% of you thought you could walk on it. Woooah-woah.

[daan]

I know what sunshine is too. I just wouldn't know it if I saw it...

 

[EXelero]

Congratulations Specialized.

What sort of job will you get with a degree like that?

 

[Specialized]

Congratulations Specialized.

What sort of job will you get with a degree like that?

Well i decided on this course becasue of the options i will have afterwards. As part of my masters i have to focus on, in depth, the following subjects and be proficiant in them

• Mobile and Distributed Computing
• Advanced Software Engineering
• Advanced Web Technologies
• Enterprise Networks and Network Services
• Management, Risk and Decision Support
• Advanced Perception for Robotic Systems
• Digital Special Effects
• Server Technologies
• Perception and Control for Robotic Systems
• Media Process and Post-production
• 3D Modelling

This will give me a very well rounded degree and i will also be studying on a specific subject afterwards for a PHD, however, im going to leave that choice untill im 100% on what avenue of buisiness i want to pursue after the degree stage.

The subjects listed are the kind of jobs i can expect to be applying for once i have finished my degree though.

Spec....

Sounds like you will have a very broad range of useful skills that you will be able to apply to whatever area you choose to Specialize in...

My old housemate did a Ph.D in Computer Science and he has done very well for himself. However, depending on what career path you end up focusing on, a Ph.D can be a long way for a short cut. My cousin is (was) a successful programmer who made alot of cash in setting up mobile phone networks in Eastern European countries and he 'only' did a degree (and 'only' got a 2:2 in that ) - he now works as a top secret government bod at GCHQ.

to which Ben will probably be working in:

• Hot dog stand server
• Ganja dealer
• Pen assembler
• fudge packer

Happy trails!

Much better.

 

[Diego440]

is that the politically correct version?

 

[a6m5]

Sounds like this is a very big time accomplishment, indeed. Congratulations, and good luck! 👍

 

[Smallhorses]

Good job Ben!!! 👍

Just remember though, that going back to being a cash-strapped student, you may be tempted to take part in medical experiments for a bit of extra dough! .....Stick to the alcohol testing studies though 👍 ......the video below shows what may happen if you take up caffeine research!

So just an update for everybody. I had a call from the university today and they have now made my acceptance 100% official. Although they had already given me an unconditional offer its always nice to have something physical to say thats its a guarantee!

I must say im pretty damn chuffed! Thanks to everybody for the kind words so far and an extra special thanks to Exelero who has been nothing but a star in helping me out with my uni application!

Spec....

 

[Venari]

Rock on!

I shall expect invitations to parties with hefty numbers of half naked teenagers with their mouths open. [/Nighy]

Did I just say that out loud?

You needed help filling out an application?

And they were those pink sparkly curly straws you get in daft cocktails too.
