    I had been waiting to get accepted for a loan before posting in this thread

    Going to Northeastern up in Boston! Plan on going for some type of Engineering, although I'm split on the specifics, I enjoy programming so some type of Computer Engineering is probably where I'll end up.

    If you had been my AP Calculus teacher I probably would have learned a whole lot more.
    Like not to hit on married women who can probably beat you up?

    It's the same in Lund; a Ph.D. degree is required (among other things) to apply for professor and lector positions. You can't just teach here, though; you have to do research as well. Unfortunately, some professors view teaching as something unpleasant that they have to do in order to be allowed to do their research; the educational quality of their courses suffers accordingly. Fortunately, there are professors who appreciate and enjoy teaching as well.

    I went to college twice. The first time I was doing Psychology, ICT & Art. I dropped out because it was an awful college. My grades were all A's but I couldn't stick it.

    The second time, I did Health & Social Care. The only reason I did it is because they lied to me and told me a ton of it was Psychology. One module was Psychology. One. The rest were Sociology and Biology. After a year and qualification got, I quit that too.

    So, I never made it to University.

    I work in insurance now for RSA (used to be Royal Sun Alliance), so nothing to do with what I did at college.

    I always wanted to do a degree in Psychology, and I wanted to be a forensic psychologist.

    I'd like to do a part-time OU degree at some point, possibly in Law to be a solicitor.
