Ha.
Chemistry BSc was 30 hours a week practicals and lectures, 10 hours tutorials and coursework. Swatting up for exams would be anything up to 18-20 hours a day.
We have no car, not a lot of money and the work I do is paid less than industry, but I love my job and wouldn't change it unless times were very bad.
I've supervised five BSc students in their research projects, two masters and an honours student and I like to think that (with the exception of one lazy bastard), I've really helped them to get the degree they were aiming for. One of the buggers even has four papers from his projects he did with me with more on the way.
Not only that, the only coke I've done was brown and fizzy and comes in a red can (none of that diet shite). Saying that, each year they would teach us three out of the five steps to synthesise cocaine from scratch, but each year's paper would have different steps missing...

I was generalising.
I'm sure there are many hard grafting students, doing difficult degrees, I just seem to have met the ones doing media studies...

Fair enough.
I feel bad for Mrs Boris. She's a performing artist and people go on about that, but if we weren't living over here, she'd be with her friends from the course in a wildly successful puppet theatre company now. I still feel like a bit of a shit for her not being in that group...
