I’ve got some friends going through rough times in life right now. One isn’t happy with her path in life, and the other doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life… Having gone through some similar periods in life (I’m not sure they ever really end), I tried to offer my somewhat more ag

Leaving school to go to uni, and having to choose then and there what you want to do for possibly the rest of your life is horrendous.

A lot of people have no idea. I was one of them. Eventually I chose Surveying (basically because I believed at the time that is all my final exam marks would get me into). Well my marks turned out better, but then you get a first round offer, and you figure “better be safe than sorry”, so I took it. It took me 9 years to complete my degree! The first 3 full time, and then part time whilst I worked. And I worked at Surveying, Oil and Gas Exploration (finished my degree during this time), Courier, and finally in to IT, and I’ll probably move on from here in the next 5 to 10 years.

So I’m a graduated Surveyor working in (basically self taught) IT Security!

I believe Uni’s here now have a very broad first year curriculum, so you can see what is what and then hopefully make a more informed choice of where you want your life to lead, and start specialising from year 2.

Wish I had that sort of choice back when.
