Re: FLASH: OT: Your Professional opinion...

[Neil O' Rourke]

True, I don't have much faith in the system for getting into college.

Here in Ireland you have to get a certain point mark to get into

college, the problem is you're graded on history and all those subjects

and not a mention is given to actual skills. So to get into college I'd

have to waste my time studying things that are no use to me that I could

be spending learning more about computers. It is a bit ridiculous. My

skills are computers, writing and design... the state exams just

wouldn't have reflected the ability I knew I had and I'd end up stacking

shelves at 25 or something.


FYI... I'm 21 and am further up the ladder and earning more than college

graduates will at age 25. Point made!
