School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

I went to uniBut didn't enjoy it, ended up dropping out and now find myself without any real idea of what I want to do or where I want to go in life.
I have to say I agree completely with you.
Which is not to say that in my case I was not academically capable, merely that no-one ever discussed any other options with me (save one talk given to us about gap years, after the deadline for UCAS offers to be accepted), meaning that when I worked out the hard way that uni was not for me, I was stumped.
Furthermore, since dropping out I have sought career advice from places like the 'Opportunity Centre' (think the Job Centre, only less useful and with fewer work-shy layabouts hanging around) and when I make them aware of my qualifications from school, they tell me I should go to uni.
I'm not blaming anyone else for the fact that I didn't enjoy my degree but I do think it's dreadful that there seems to be little to no help for academically-capable individuals who are not suited to a university education.
