Torment ...

[stickytoffee10]

You should try for a course that you will use. As you've said you have level 6 in accounts and finance and you don't do nothing with it. The last thing you want is doing something that you are more than likely not going to get any benefit out of it, while at the same time leaving yourself short on cash.

This is true as well. That's why all the torment at the moment

I don't think that is necessarily true. A lot of people end up doing something different than what they studied for, but that does not mean that the course did not help them in many ways.

Even the act of obtaining a qualification is a great confidence booster, and can be a great achievement. Courses can teach you good habits and skills which you can use in other areas. Add to this the environment, which can be stimulating, and can introduce you to a host of other ideas.

Just my two cents worth

So true.. A company I consult with at the moment has an engineer working for them with no formal training. He has 3 degrees in ancient languages.. Still one of the best engineers I've ever worked with...

I applied this year to many many courses (as my dear Anna knows already )
All from level 6 to level 8, in Business, Accounts, Chemistry, Complementary Health Therapy etc ...

I was surprised to receive this morning a text message, an email and a letter about me getting a place on a level 8 course in Accounting & Finance. I am really tormented by this. This was my last application course with CAO, my first one being of a same type, in Business.

Working as a masseuse and getting a higher specialisation in accounts & finance
Who am I kidding? I already have a lower qualification there (level 6) and I do nothing with it.

Also ... if I actually accept this course, I won't have as much time for my massage services, which are my only bread and butter at the moment. That means I might find myself really short on cash sometimes.

There is the option that I go back to escorting for a while, so I can be able to manage both my studies and get also enough money to sustain myself. But for some reason I am a little afraid to do this

Do you see my torment?
Studying without a hope I can do something with the qualification in the real life, plus the money issues while I'll do it.
Not studying, meaning that I have no idea what I'll do in a few years time ...

I feel like this now ...

Why not study by distance learning? Its pricey and there are some very reputable colleges doing this. Consider it because your time is 100% yours with no restraints on classes etc. You dont have to show up for classes if they are abroad.

Also the college system in Ireland is like everything else here. Its corrupt.

Oh you do talk through your hole sometimes...
I've worked and studied in colleges all over the world and we have one of the most straight up and productive college systems out there. There is very little government funding, especially in the Sciences, so little scope for corruption.
You just need to look at the hordes of recruiters from every corner of the globe who descend on the technology park in Cork for every graduation..

You know all about holes having negotiated the wrong one at birth.

The rest of your rubbish proves your either innocent or clueless or more than likely both.

Another lame ass attempt at an argument from the village idiot... Play the ball not the man Westie. If you've no facts to back up your point just accept you're out of your depth keep a dignified silence..

yes,it is hard to do more things in the same time,but if you want wou can. i was studing when i start working like an ecort and after a wile i left my studies. for a wile. now i start studing management (first i was studying psychology),but on long distance,so i can work too. i think i need studies because i won't work all my life like an escort....so,if you can,do it. will be a little bit difficult at first,but later you will be happy and proud of you. good luck

[Sensual Delights]

I wish you much success with your course, Rebeka.
