Have a chat with your dad about that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463141694556030954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464582217095046042.post-8605445596752525092010-06-08T18:47:56.736+01:002010-06-08T18:47:56.736+01:00I have the same opinion about university.

I'm only in high school so it's nice to hear an opinion that other people have. My dad's a business prof at the university here in Prince George, BC Canada and he's always talking about students who refuse to work in partners and the such. He's more teaching them to suck it up and act like adults because they'll be treated like adults in their career (whether they like their co-workers or not). Thanks again! <br /><br />BTW I'm not the same anonymous as the other one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464582217095046042.post-68217317543684351112008-12-29T18:14:00.000+00:002008-12-29T18:14:00.000+00:00Thanks for spotting the typo anonymous :) chunking...Thanks for spotting the typo anonymous :) chunking down and reductionism was never my thing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463141694556030954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464582217095046042.post-51862524645829588112008-12-29T15:56:00.000+00:002008-12-29T15:56:00.000+00:00There is also the danger that you loose your commo...There is also the danger that you loose your common touch,<BR/><BR/>surely it's lose not loose?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464582217095046042.post-83454925262740295812008-08-07T21:59:00.000+01:002008-08-07T21:59:00.000+01:00I recently received a Bachelor's Degree and althou...I recently received a Bachelor's Degree and although it was a valuable learning experience, I'm extremely disappointed in it. I am very ambitious and willing to go beyond what's required of me but how will any employers know that if they don't give me a chance. Employers claim that I am not qualified for any jobs because I lack job-specific experience. Even when I tried to get an internship, employers chose candidates who had completed previous internships. If I'm not underqualified, then I'm overqualified because I have a degree. I have been looking for a decent job for quite some time now. I know it takes time and I will have to start from the bottom, which I am certainly willing to do, only if someone would just give me a chance! :( The professors at my college brainwashed students into believing that they would certainly get a great well-paying job after college if they did well in their coursework. I guess that's necessary, if you want students to not drop out, and continue paying dearly to take the classes. It's just another conspiracy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464582217095046042.post-65378196383023631892007-07-06T08:15:00.000+01:002007-07-06T08:15:00.000+01:00Well said Rednose!

Totally concur with your thoughts on 'celebophilia' too...Why is it that people live the life they have been given by trying to step into the life of someone else. Acting is surely the only profession where this is valid, and as the ancient Greeks recognised you adopt the 'persona' you don't become the other person.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463141694556030954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464582217095046042.post-4804954271304022972007-07-05T13:53:00.000+01:002007-07-05T13:53:00.000+01:00I'm just formulating a post about University Degre...I'm just formulating a post about University Degrees and Theatre. As far as I know, as long as you have a degree, you are able to open up a drama school. <BR/>There is a massive number of budding actors quing up to get into drama schools and I'm investigating why and what effect his is having on the industry.<BR/>My ignorant initial view is that people are blinded by celebrity and the thought of an easy career.<BR/><BR/>LaterzDouglas Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03508104247257657559noreply@blogger.com
