If only we realised sooner that it all sorts itself out in the end!<br /><br />Thank you Pondside, for sharing your experience. I think that the 'Glittering Prize' aspect of university can make it difficult to say, 'well, I wish I'd studied something I enjoyed more' so it's been great to read other people's thoughts.<br /><br />Lins, yes, that's it, isn't it? I'd probably do the same again in the same circumstances, because, like you, that experience has made me the person I am today.<br />Chris Stovellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03741359642268813093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-64521347802358719592013-04-03T05:21:00.004-07:002013-04-03T05:21:00.004-07:00Fascinating how your passions will out, however se...Fascinating how your passions will out, however sensible you try to be!

I didn't end up teaching after my BEd, (well adults later), but it was the journey it took me on which ended up being my biggest 'education'; an amazing experience and development of further life and social skills. Invaluable.

I told my children to use their university years more wisely and to do/go where they pleased. And they did.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-6894868072958250182013-03-24T04:50:27.089-07:002013-03-24T04:50:27.089-07:00What a lovely picture, Chris, they look so proud o...What a lovely picture, Chris, they look so proud of you! I'm constantly telling my kids that they can study whatever they like at Uni, it doesn't mean that they're tied to that for life - just as they can change jobs whenever they want. Thank you for reminding me that living life is what is important, not what qualifications we live with!Jane Loveringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393411255730345765noreply@blogger.com
