Students...all ****ers?

Never had a problem with students when I was a mature student, but the social sciences students generally annoyed the hell out of me as most of them were thick as pig ****, but thought quoting a theory from Durkeim after reading a book made them intellectuals.
 
The last time I went round to the Mrs' student accomodation she had a pile of, pretty much, the entire households plates, bowls and cutlery.

The poor other housemates.

lol Geeks. some people would class our house as that as we play a lot of games online together but we somehow have a social life(well some of us). i just love how students have been given that stereotype. First thing that the uni tells us is to go to the union and drink (£1.50 a drink all night what we suppose to do). As for lazy i can see where that comes in but for some people like me who wants a decent job over the summer so i dont end up in the red like everyone else its harder as they base everyone the same (and i want a new pc :)).
Temp jobs over summer are so hard to find anyways.
Mature students just make me laugh because they try to answer the questions before the lecurer says it just to show off they have read the lecture slides 10mins before the lecture just as they are uploaded (right cool mate).

Can I just ask, which uni are you in, sounds a bit (or a lot) like mine! LOL
 
I think the main thing is people getting on with enjoying themselves and taking liberties which cannot be taken once you have progressed into the working world.

Might as well take the **** for a while ;)
No swearing

And it's great fun. Hows your desk today? Arrive at the office on time did we? Dont forget to rush out to the same sandwich shop for lunch every day. Hope you ironed your shirt.

Never mind, soon be the weekend. Then you can do it all again next week.

Oooh that's me told alright. Work today was fantastic thanks, finished at 4pm as it was a nice sunny day. No need for me to rush out to the sandwich shop. I had my assistant (who has a degree in "Sociology", with honours!) to go get it for me. I'm sure that their degree helped with this taxing task. Money well spent, etc.

I love sociology students ! Those NMR machines don't pay for them selves :p
 
Lol at this thread. To be honest, I'd rather be perceived as being immature by those who're (generally, and I think i'm fair to make generalisations based on the nature of the topc) working 9 to 5, because frankly at least i'm not them.

And I feel sorry for those who think they're mature by spending all their time in their rooms and avoiding drink. You can go out and not drink and enjoy yourself!
 
Basically this thread is a statement that seek is a mature, responsible adult who has grown out of student life and that everyone should adhere to his example. ;)

Lighten up buddy. The world would be bland if everyone was like you (in a hypothetical sense).

Students have a skewed perspective of what real life is like (and their role within it). Because;

1) They usually have no 'real life' experience.

2) They believe that as a student they are 'owed' a particular lifestyle. By which I'm not talking so much financially, as the way they are allowed to behave.

Parents/schools etc should do more to properly prepare them, rather than simply inflict them on the rest of us.

put it in an isa... do you know how much money you'll actually stand to make off your £1500 pa or whatever it is? Not a great deal tbh. Investing £1500 on the stock market is hardly worth it either. I looked into this in great detail and the amount you actually stand to gain is very little indeed. Plus you can't access an ISA at your whim (or so I'm told). Also you have to pay back the loan which does have interest on it contrary to popular belief.

I fail to see your reasoning here. You say that due to a low return, even though the net value of investing a loan is positive - it is still pointless? That makes no sense. Any rational person would invest into a project if it was as favourable and (almost) effortless as that scenario.

Most ISA accounts are instant access.

There is no interest rate on student loans. There is an inflation rate, which, obviously is linked to inflation. Although the rates I've seen look suspiciously higher than the actual inflation rates. Given this, investing a student loan into an ISA account is still favourable.
