well tbh that was completely uncalled for. i was studying national diploma in sports in college and you may do 4 subjects but the qualifications from the course i did was just as much as yours will be.
you dont have to be foreign to work in mcdonalds, the reason they hire foreigners is because they work when sick and ill. they do as many hours as they can and they work harder than any one else plus they dont have interact with any one whilst their in the kitchen.
anyway you can slander mcdonalds all you like but its obviously a better job than yours if the moneys better and the hours are more flexible.
you talk all about the hours you study at night etc, what do you do in your free periods and in class? obviously not enough. and during half terms you could have done a weeks work aswell as studied and pulled in a bit of extra cash.
people who work in mcdonalds do have a real view of life as for alot of people its just a part time job while in college uni school or whilst searching for a new job. and the fact you think you'll end up with a better job than me just because your studying 4 subjects in school shows how blinded you are. as the results from the 2 years mean that you then have to go on to college/uni where you'll do 2-6 years studying something else building up £'s of debt whilst not having a job because you have twice as much of a work load then once you leave youll have to repay your debt's whilst working from the bottom in a job you probably despise.
im not saying im above you but your not above me so dont act like you are.
youre not a nerd at all and your probably gonna do orite for yourself but dont assume results will get you a better job than me as my dad is a boss of 10 people who work below him. all of them left uni with A's and B's he gets 100's of applications for job's when theirs a vacancy and these people with a's n b's from uni start off at about 18k a year without many prospects of going above 30k. they travel for up to 1-2 hours to get to work.
anyway i could go on and theirs probably points ive forgot to make but anyway.
For starters, you said foreigners work harder than anyone else? you're clearly stupid, yes, the majority of them are hard working, but how on earth can you say that they work harder than ANYONE ELSE in the whole of the united kingdom, you don't know that, nobody does, so stop stating inappropriate comments.
McDonalds is a better job than mine? I work in a bar collecting glasses on Fridays and Saturdays.. I get £5.00 an hour for basically socializing and collecting a few glasses now and then, and I get to listen to the music I like..
I complete most of the work in class, unless I don't understand it, and in my free periods I tend to either come home to see my pup as he has to sit in a cage all day at the moment because he's only 15 weeks old or I get some work done... I do work at night because I want to pass, I was predicted A's and B's in my GCSE's and I almost failed because I didn't put the effort in, I'd rather over work myself at getting my pass grades than spend time trying to earn money at the moment.
As for over the summer
holidays, I use that time socializing with my friends, going on
holidays and basically catching up with them as I put in alot of work through the school terms and don't get to see them much.
I think I'll get a better job than you when I'm older? I can't actually remember saying that, please quote me, I assure you, you won't be able to because I never said that, nor did I infer it.
Also, you say you HAVE to go to college/university after you've gotten A-Levels, what a load of tripe that is... I could just as easily go for a job interview the moment I leave 6th Form, who are they going to choose - me and my A-Levels or somebody else without A-Levels. I know you'll pull that down to the whole 'depends if they've got experience, they've had 2 years to work', I see that, but what about in two years later? I'll have 2 years experience and some A-Levels, he'll have 4 years experience... any employer in there right mind would choose the person with A-Levels.
You also appeared to say, I'll get a job starting from the bottom? A person with a degree starting from the bottom, are you insane? if that was the case, university would be non-existent you loony.
My dad only has GCSE results aswell, and he's raking it in and owns his own JOINERY company.. you know, a hard labor job? He has to get up at 6am in the morning, and he comes home at 6-7pm... whereas, you look at someone like a lawyer or a doctor, they earn double the amount with the same hours, and if the truth was known, a hell of a lot less graft. My dad started on about 5k a year! Yes, very little, it's taken him almost 20 years to get to where he is today... think about it, if I finish Uni at the age of say? 23, I'll have 25 years to catch up to my dad's current age. That's what? say I'll start at 16 grand a year, times that by 25.. that's 400k, and that's on a basic salary for 25 years, not happening...
Whereas my dad made 125,000... which salary would you prefer.
What I'm trying to say is, University is there for a reason, because grades take you places, if you go for a hard labor job, it takes years to get up the ladder and earn the big money, if you've got grades you earn the money right away without all those years of practice.
The top and bottom of it is, you see me as some blinded person, who thinks results will get them everywhere - that's true... I do believe that, and it's a fact basically. For starters, you can straight away see my grammar and vocabulary has double if not triple the standards which yours does, and that's just for starters...
Colonel, you won't win. I know my life and I've thought this through for hours, as I say, I thought about taking the same route as you, but it just seemed irresponsible and illogical.
