We must talk accounting at some stage. Yep. Almost three years of boredom before I escaped.

At least you failed convincingly. I always wanted to fail something at uni so I could be all self-depricating, and grease up a swell career as a Stand-Up comedian. But I did a fluffy course and passed everything totally by accident. Did fail an oral presentation once, though. Apparently 40 minutes spent joking about the Ballina Big Prawn indicated I wasn’t taking the assignment seriously, hmm.

Still, probably for the best that you didn’t stick it out till the end. Accountants aren’t dynamic people. By now you’d probably look like Therese Rein.

@Kate – oh dear. That’s an expensive laze. But totally understandable!

Do you know, there was one exam I actually study for (I use the term loosely) but I was at that point in my university career, so goddamm lazy that I couldn’t be bothered to finish the exam paper so I left.

Yes that’s right. I had to do that subject again.

@Fletcher – you could have put a deposit on a house. Or bought lots of coke and whores.

Pfffft, $11,000? It’s something to worry about when it hits $30,000. Becoming an engineer was not cheap.
