a directionless student? no, not really. i'm enjoying academia and i'm coming top in just about everything i do in that regard, and i'm happy pursuing it... for now. am i directionless because i'm not willing to declare that i want to do it for the rest of my life? i don't think so. i'm just as far 'progressed' into my 'career path' as you are, so drop the snide attitude, hot shot. i just realize that i'm 22 and i'll probably want a change of direction in life by the time i'm 40-45. my uncle only this xmas has decided to sell his stake in his uk-based family entrepreneurial stuff, to sell everything he owns and move to america to start a completely new business in an area he has never worked in before. i understand this is quite common. i'm happy being a very purposeful, highly-driven, super directed student right now, thanks very much. just you won't see me saying i want to get a phd and spend 5 years at 3 universities and get married to another lit professor and have 3 babies and live happily ever after. you look dumb when you say that shit. just like you look dumb when you post like a twat, as you just have. i love when you always harp on with your silly shit about students. you must feel like you missed out or something cause it's clearly a sore subject for you.PrivateVendetta wrote:

i'm 22 and i still barely have an idea what i want to do with my life. you're already mentally signing yourself up for 3 enlistments? rofl shifty, you silly jebend.
and rdx i think shifty's entire notion of the 'military family' comes from some cheesefest like mel gibson's 'we were soldiers' or some shit. you know, a bunch of lovely 1950's gals hanging around with baby-bumps discussing laundry rotas for when their excellent men come home from that beastly-yet-not-altogether-horrifying war business for the charming ballroom dance.
except being scottish is a funny stereotype that everyone understands. students being directionless is a global stereotype now? i think that's just someone from your perspective, who hasn't been one, and who has had to tell himself every day that university is for aimless people. like i said, it sounds like you're sore about missing out. i don't think many college graduates on this forum would say their years as a college student were 'directionless'. and yeah, i'm talking down to a 17 year old about how realistic his aims of doing 5 consecutive tours are, whilst having a wife and kids at home. problem? and how does that invite you, a person of the same age as me without those fantastical ideas, to jump in on shifty's behalf? looks like you're being a little too eager.PrivateVendetta wrote:
You were saying it as though because he's younger than you and you don't know what you want to do, how could he possibly know.
And then I added a generic 'students are lazy' comment, thinking it might provoke a self-justified response. Most people add similar comments whenever the Scots post.

What kind of planes do you fly PV? That seems like a really enjoyable job depending on the plane. How do you feel about the extra radiation or whatever it is that you'll be constantly exposed to at those higher altitudes?PrivateVendetta wrote:

Doing my rating for the Boeing 737-800, be flying for real in about 5 weeks. Yeah there's extra radiation, but if you go for an x-ray one year, you'll be having 1938474828374x (exact) as much as me.-Sh1fty- wrote:
