[TW]Fox said:You should have done some research before you applied, a year of 'self training' is utterly worthless and as you've found, pointless at getting into Uni. You should have used that year to improve your grades.
But dont worry, you still can. Go back to college, get better AS/A levels, then go to Uni![]()

[TW]Fox said:Aside from the fact I can't think of a more dull and boring subject than that, what exactly is wrong with that as a degree? It's at least half useful which is more than can be said for Surfing with optional David Beckham studies.

Programming games is a whole different kettle of fish though. It is generally underpaid and overworked.Rich43 said:Hi,
I do computer programming for a living. I work at home for an american company, I modify/expand billing systems, joomla, e-commerce etc for our clients..
It is not underpaid if you go freelance or start your own business. I get £10 a hour and some people charge more than we do!
Deiwos said:When you say you want to 'make games' do you mean the programming side of development, or the level design etc? Thats for addy btw.

ninja economist said:#1 - It sounds like a BTEC
#2 - It's not a Classic
#3 - It's too specialized
#5 - Employers would rather employ an Economics/Accountant/Law/Psychology student for such a job due to the broad range of knowledge in the Social sciences
#6 - Secretaries are Human Resource Managers
#7 - I wouldn't waste 3k a year on it, would you?
[TW]Fox said:So what?
So what? Neither is anything IT related..
If your dream job is to be director of HR, it's as specialized as it needs to be. Leaving aside the chronic dullness surrounding anyone who aspires to work in HR![]()
This depends entirely on the position in question.
No, they are not.
Nope, I wouldn't even do it if you paid me £3k a year. But there is more to Uni than just offering a course you or I would like.
