Got my degree results

[motorollin]

Almost 3 years ago to date I resigned my job in desktop support at VW's Milton Keynes headquarters and started a degree in Speech and Language Therapy. I remember at the beginning of the course I wondered what I was doing, as it felt so unachievable. It's been a long 3 years, but yesterday I finally got my final results. To my amazement, I got a First. I've also got a job lined up working in mainstream schools.

Working in IT feels a long way away now

Very many congratulations!
Speaking from personal experience, making a career change is always a tough move. Sticking with the change is often even harder.
Well done! Your tenacity is admirable.
I wish you well with your future career.

Thank you! It hasn't been easy, and there have been a lot of times where I've seriously considered giving up. The hardest part was at the end of last year, just before my final exams, dissertation and final placement, when I was diagnosed with dyslexia and elements of dyspraxia. I really thought at that point I was incapable of even passing my degree, but the uni were brilliant and very supportive!

Thanks! And it *was* lit, just a slow burner

Congrats! You've taken 0.3 times the time it (as it looks now) takes me to finish my damned BA degree =).

I agree with Speel, cigars are not for chewing!

I only smoke once a year on holiday, so you can rest assured that cigar was lit and I was thoroughly enjoying it

Pics of you blowing smoke rings or it didn't happen.

Slow burners are the best!

Yep, nicer to smoke and you don't waste half of it due to it burning away between puffs And for the non-believers:

You shouldn't inhale! Roll the smoothness over your tongue. Taste it!

I smoked once, when I was 14, 5 cigars in an evening over my lungs. Lost my voice for days after that :lol:

Well hopefully my one-a-year habit won't be too damaging
