ack-ack Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ack-Ack, what course are you doing? I'm all for higher education with a purpose i.e no humanities degrees. Work is pretty **** and the longer you can dodge it for a planned higher purpose then fair dos. Environmental conservation andythankyouverymuchforasking. I'm not on a crusade, i just want to be able to do battle with natural england on a level playing field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I went back at 24 to do my degree and was classed as a mature student by then. We had people in the group that were forty plus, they fitted in well and treated the course seriously rather than the pratting around that some of the younger school leavers got up to. You may find one or two of the younger students irritating, their conversations, affectations and the way in which they find it hilarious to grab the front and back of your Tena adult nappy and give you a shreddy every breaktime annoying. Likely that will be the worst of it. I hope so, they did three times to me today and its wearing a bit thin. no- university is wasted on the old - if it isn't about having 3 years of being a complete beer monster in an environment when even i used to be able to get laid then what is it meant to be for ? the engineering degree was incidental and irrelevant to the fun top be had. OP if indeed you are single think this- there will be lots of young but legal ladies away from home for the first time that will fall for the first father replacement to ask her what a levels she got. A friend of mine who stayed at uni until 30 poncing around with phds tagged this skill with the ladies as" the way of the badger" due to his greying hair. his acheivements with the ladiies certainly improved as he got greyer ! A glimmer of hope for an ageing, unsuccessful lothario one hopes! will you have much time for fieldsports? Hell yeah! One of the studes goes deer culling in richmond park! i,ve been thinking about some further education to enhance job prospects , i,ve been looking at local college prospectuses etc . god knows what to do . just wondering if am i too old at 48 to learn i was thinking along the customer services lines or , mental health care and security . i dont really have any skills as such apart from people skills . spent the last 24 years self employed as a market trader and 10 years plus working on the doors any ideas If you have passion for a subject its easier i reckon, what do you want to learn chap?

ack-ack Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 So how was your first day at oldman's school Mr Ack Ack. Was there a decent rack to park your bike in? My old rusty sit up and beg sturmey archer three speed ( of which only low engages)? Im optimistic but realistic. No! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazed Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 At 0900 tomorrow i shall embark upon the next potential failure in my life, a masters degree (the irony that i will be classed as a mature student isn't lost on me) Its been sixteen years since i last attended an educational establishment and i don't quite know what to expect. Its all face cloth and tweeters these days, when ah were a lad we dint even have email!! I think im still cool enough though, ive got all the kit that the army surplus wearing unwashed so called academics today respect, a sandwich toaster, a jostick burner thing, a che guevarra tee shirt, a smiths poster and ive still got plenty of profalactics from my first stint at uni. Most of them have never been used! Theres the nagging doubt that my ability to take up knowledge has been reduced over the years. I suppose i wont really know until i attempt to discuss the days lectures over a mung bean pot noodle in the nelson mandela SU building. Any body done the mature stude bit? Any tips? Just sit back and enjoy all the young totty dressed in next f all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malkiserow Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Remember to remain in the saddle and let those wiggo pins do the work Boris says we all need to get back in the saddle...... It's healthy and exhilarating. When you leave, don't leave anything locked to the rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Any body done the mature stude bit? Any tips? Yeah I`m in 3rd year doing my BA hons, and before that no formal study for 20+ yrs and 30+ since school so not so much mature as over-ripe. I struggled with the academic side for the first 2 months or so, but then got into it better, as there was so much to do, but as you have been through the mill once it will be like riding a bike; you never forget how to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
