Where is your life now, and where is it going?

well i had about 8 beers tonight..... most productive thing i've done in weeks

[C0ckney]

just finished my first year of law at swansea, i used to wish i'd gone back to college to get the grades i needed to go somewhere better (missed by 3 marks on a single exam last time :/), but i'm having a great time and i don't really have the drive or ambition to be a big shot. i'll finish my degree in two years and then train for two more to be either a soliciter or barrister (depending on how good a degree i get) and go on to realise my dream of becoming linonel hutz.

more immediately, i'm working on a fruit farm this summer, which is bloody hard work, but at least it's outdoors. and tonight i'm going to get wrecked to celebrate my first week's pay.

Hey, welcome back Sir D..

[Az]

I am a Chemistry student in Israel's best technological university, finishing my 1st year.


When I graduate, I'll go straight to Officers' course, and become a 2nd Leutenant. my next 6 years will be in the army, 3 of which I'll spend on a Conscript's paycheck, despite being an officer. This is in return for the Army paying my education fees, but It will be possible to get an M.Sc. in Chemistry.

When I am out of the army, in the tender age of 27 , I'll probably try to get a job in the industry, or even better, in the Academia. I hope that there will be budget cuts in Defence, so they'll let me out earlier.

That's about it.

My wet dream.

then buy and open a chocolate shop, with a little bar next door, with live music, weird cocktails and chocolates being taken around like hors d'overs. I can dream

nice dream, your chocolate better be reasonablely priced

Between seconds and third year at university doing degree in Economics. Seeing how the graduate job situation is, I'll either go for a job or a Masters - maybe one with a tad more politics and bit less maths.

Single, as I want to be. Since I'm a stone overweight, not as confident as I could be in order to get a really decent girl. So I'm waiting till the end of summer.

Working in Bolton with a really decent group of people around my age, generally having a laugh.

6 years in the army! And this is after graduating from Technion. Sorry, Azazel, but it seems to me you would be much better off in Russia.

But it's not like the Russian Army. Conscripts don't get beaten up, they are fed, and aren't forced to farm for potatoes around the base.

And most of my service would be in various office/lab/warehouse conditions, half of it would be on an officer's paycheck, which is very nice.

Plus, I'll be able to almost immediately start my Graduate Studies, so in any case, it would be time well spent.

I'd like to be there for 4 years, not 6, but never mind that.

Well currently temping...although there has been a 'spanner in the works' which I may choose to inform you about on Monday if applicable, but looking at something more fulfilling. Currently earning £6.40 an hour and being worked like a dog for it. I can take high volumes of stress, hefty workloads and reasonably long hours to an extent...what I cannot take is being taken for a fool...but my job is currently for a pharmaceutical company...I am the archive store manager and now I have taken on a 'second job' there as analyst. Any fybogel you get has to go through me (not literally fortunately )

Going? Considering that, it is a tricky decision and I am still finding it hard to find direction...I have decided I don't want to stay in the lab for much longer, I realised when I left my PhD after a lot of careful thought that that is not where I want to go. However I have found myself to be ruthlessly efficient and organised...

I am not afraid of hard work, but I want it to be recognised...any suggestions?

[Solly]

The army.

[Provost Harrison]

The army?

I am looking at teaching (seriously)...the older the kids the better Compared to other graduate careers the pay isn't bad and you get nice holidays. And as I said I can cope with the workload and stress...I get craploads already...and at least I will be well recognised for it. Besides I consider it to be a 'socially productive' job...

Well, if so, it's not so bad (especially if in lab conditions). But still... Certainly, I feel admiration for how young Israelis take their patriotic duties.

In Russia, you would be able to start your graduate studies right away, without going to the army. But perhaps in Israel the army is such a good school of life that 6 years therein is not a waste of time.
