The Lozzer Question

[devogue]

Well, I have one more year until I'm eligible for Uni, so I can resit if I want. I wanted to get into Durham :/

Fair enough, but consider this - you've got good enough results to get in to some very good universities. I think you are wasting your time resitting. You've got a precious year, and you should fill it with as much voluntary work as you can. There's no paid work about, so why not just get stuck in with some unpaid goodness for a year. I fucking guarantee you that your CV will shine above most others down the years with such experience because action speaks so much louder than qualifications.

Please note the forum.

Do you think Lozzer should do a year of resits, or should he do a year of voluntary work? Please vote.

He's already done enough sitting around. GET TO WORK!

[PsychoSerenity]

Voluntary work, without a question. Getting slightly better qualifications (Well done on what you've got, Lozzer ) won't be nearly as useful as getting some experience doing something. - both for employability and just generally for your own life experience.

I've no idea how this system works over there, so I'll vote for the choice that promises the greatest amount of backbreaking and humiliating work.

[Twoflower]

Work. You will not only have a nice looking CV but possibly make some pretty good contacts with people in a variety of fields.

So, they are easy then?

He should get off his backside and earn a crust.

Definietly a year of solid academic work and re-sitting his exams. Then he can go to Oxbridge, and the modern version of Brideshead Revisted will commence...

Easy's the wrong word, but easier than doing real actual stuff.

Volunteer work is actually rewarding and makes me feel good about myself.

I've also met some great people to party with afterwards. It got me laid one or twice too.

I did a bit of voluntary work in my late teens and enjoyed it a lot. If I didn't have to work, I'm sure I'd do some more.

He should join the British Army, they'll make a man for him...or something...

Or use his backside to earn side crust.

Fuck voluntary work, go and earn cash for a year and since you were intending on doing voluntary work, either give the cash to me or better, put it in a bank account to soften the blow of the fees once you get to university.
