    Since an unusually high proportion of SPers appear to be at Uni/college I was just interested to know how many actually are.

    I'm a College, hoping to go to uni next year to do a digital music course (combined with animation if I get lucky) :D

    Its my third year so I think the teachers are getting a bit sick of me...like teachers do :p

    I also work but it has nothing to do with what I want to do so I don't think it counts in this poll...plus I won't be working when I'm at uni! (Fingers crossed)

    I am working but actually hope, despite my advanced age, to get into a sort of work/training program next fall. Thinking of taking a slight detour from present career.

    Though my work is only remotely related to my undergraduate degree, it is what I trained for in graduate school, and the new training is not altogether out of the field. However, I'm not sure I will be accepted, so this may all turn out to be a pipe dream.

    I suppose "working" comes closest for a freelancer, though I was tempted to answer "neither". :)

    Still in first year architecture, though I'm dropping out at the end of the semester (which, ironically, is after the Xmas holidays :rolleyes: )

    Work part time as painter in a body shop as well, I might end up doing that as a career. I need a job that allows me to think outside the box and express my creativity, and this one sometimes does, when I'm given a white card for paint scheme. The balance of the time I deal with uber-boring factory color print jobs.

    Uni, computer science. Half way through my second year. After my exams in January, I'll be half way through, excluding a possible placement year.

    Uni, 3rd bachelor in English/German literature and linguistics. Great fun. Graduating next year, which is a scary thought. Methinks I'll do a master after master. :D

    Uh.. where do I fall under? I'm in a limbo I think. I just finished my last term 2 weeks ago (trimestral system) but my graduation ceremony is still in Feb and I'm not working and have no plans to yet.

    Heh, I joined the Navy so I wouldn't have to go to college. But now that I'm in all I want to do is go to more schools.
