Initially I studied to be a teacher (Bachelor of Education) but part way through I realised that there was no way in hell that I wanted to teach. I completed the degree, then a few years ago I did a second degree in Info Tech.
Do uni degree actually have any real purpose?

In my country getting a degree has become a sort of a fest, anyone can get it on the condition to have enough money to pay for it. People collect master by master without having any knowledge or interest in that field, just to be proud in society with their titles and to mention it in a CV. Or maybe it’s just due to the old times when only a few managed to enter a uni. Now people “study” ( do they? ) just to prove they’re smart ( are they? ). That’s another reason I’m disgusted with life, I had to work hard and pass difficult exams while other people pass through a university like a goose through the water. Once you have the degree you may wipe your a¤¤ with the diploma, nobody would hire you for your knowledge or qualities but for the person behind you (could be a husband, a relative, a godfather ) that could bring an advantage to the employer.
Have you ever failed an exam during your uni years?

Nope. 3.4 GPA

I take care of my old sick mother who's totally dependent of me so I can't plan anything - with or without a GP. My only consolation would be the forum so I'd be more than happy to see some activity here.
What is the age when you can officially retire?

I dont really know. Being 28 its a long time until I retire sadly and they keep changing the age. I think its likely to be 69 or 70 by the time I get there.
What do you think is the best thing about your country?I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

As a poet said, it's a sad country full of humour. If you don't take into account it's inhabited you might like it.

Its sense of humour. Come to the UK and you'll see we mostly laugh at ourselves. I think thats why we have given the world so much humour.
I know its not a massively important thing, but I love a good laugh and I reckon we are pretty good at it.
