My whole reason for joining ROTC at my local hometown university was to become an Army Officer, because I was no where good enough for West Point. ?About 70% of the officer in the U.S. Army are ROTC - so when C/S demoted me to "Cannon Fodder", I knew what it is like to be there ! ? But I managed to get 2 Business Degrees in 4 years. I didn't use them much in the Infantry, but had to have a degree to be selected for officer training. ?However, I now manage a small business back in my hometown. ?That was not my plan, but you never know what the future holds ...

Well as I said I'm not going to be able to check in too often and I've only been at the college bar a couple of days and the topics 2 pages! Well I'm lucky really. I got into a good Uni and am doing what I like. Student Life is sweeeeeeeet! And, I reckon at the end of it with a degree in Physics from Cambridge I should be fairly employable.

Hi!
"primarchload", what a catchy phrase!
Like Mojarn said, you do the job you least "hate" and that it gives you enough to buy what you "like" to do.

Basically applications in C++, but since I am doing [Deleted for NDA reasons] in Symbian OS Enviroment it is a bit relative term; symbian has added a lot of quirks, especially to exception and string handling, while eliminating certain others.
Two-phased constructor is an interesting feature.

Yep stormseer, I am another History student, I'm currently doing it at A Level, and doing "The unification of Italy" and "Hitlers rise to power" Rather interesting subjects!
Dooglebug, are you at cambridge now? I had ideas about going there to study Physics as well, but the Uni in Sheffield is just as good, but I don't think my parents want me staying here even longer!!
Cheers
Chris

Hitlers rise to power is interesting stuff- lots of different party abreviations to remember tho- SDP, KPD, etc.. gets a little confusing at times!
..I'm also doing the Russian Revolution, Tsar Nicholas II, Bloody Sunday etc, which is very interesting indeed as it is an area I havn't studied much at all before...

My current study of history revolves around the History Channel, if you can get it, do so. And continue to read voraciously ...

I think this is a good example of that the system works, so they ain't changed it! I think GW should take lessons...
Yep Hitlers rise to power is confusing, but we ain't doing about Russia, I think the system must be the teachers mix and match what topics they wanna teach! I think I end up doing 3 topics on germany over 2 years!
Also, the unification of Italy is rather hard...did you know Italy used to be made up of 12 different countries!
Also, Tom and stormseer, what other courses are you/did you do at college? I'm doing Maths, Physics, ICT and History. Not the eaisest mix!
Cheers
Chris

University of Sheffield
University of Cambridge
the difference between the two is a lot more than you think
a degree from Cambridge can get you ?10K per year more than the same degree from Sheffield
though of course Sheffield is a lot cheaper place to live than Cambridge and there will be a lot less hooray henrys as well!_________________ Jimbo
