"Mystique 8 Ball"

I'm bored.
Ask me a question and I shall consult the great Mystique 8 Ball for answers no meer mortal can find.

Ask me anything, but make sure the 8 Ball can answer it with a "Yes, No, Absolutely" etc. answer.

GO GO GO!

Well Ive been earning good money, as a non-student but it was in fact that that changed mymind, I thought if Im earning this much as a non graduate how much would I earn if i went to uni??

By the way Ill prbably strt uni with a bank balance of £0.00 and enjoy student loans and stuff...

But the idea that I'll be in debt till I'm 30 odd... unable to buy a house because I can't get a loan or pay a mortgage and therefore unable to settle down isn't a better prospect... student life or not.

But as long as it is what you want to do then that is what you'll want to do. Although you may regret it come 30.

Not to worry.. if the price goes up in 2005... well then student loan allowances will go up as well yipeeee!!!

Oh I think a GAP year really will be a good idea. Need to take a break form all this learning. Might apply before and go from there. I'll have more idea by this time tomorrow as I got some talk on Unis and stuff at 9:15am. Should be so much fun.

if u wanna go uni..i think u gotta move away form home to get the full effect of student-uni-life.....

If u take a gap year u might get used to having money all the time and not want to return to education

Oh I will... but not for another year when I can see where I am at finacially...

I want the first year to be pretty safe... get a bit more cash together before I venture out...

Also I hope to make some mates at APU and move in with them when their campus placements runs out when they get to their second year...

Can't wait.

However, keep this in mind
UNI prices are going up in 2005 so taking a gap year means paying more in the long run.

As for moving away from home. I'm scared financially as well as mentally but i will face that problem when i get there. I think moving away from home is almost always the best option.

Yeah my bro didn't know what the hell to do... no sense of direction... he is taking a Business studies course but he doesn't like it and I feel he didn't really enjoy it.

I have recommeneded he gets a job and earns for a year whilst he tries to decide what to do with the rest of his life.

I loved my time at 6th form... turned me into the person I am today.

Uni will be another stonking time.

Whatever stonking means.

i can't wait til uni..i'm scared tho

Cid i would strongly suggest taking a gap year, it gives you time to get used to the way th real world works and you might change your mind about what you want to do, I thought I was going to do engineering at ni, but Now thats all chnaged thanks to a 3year gap year!!
