Therapist Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 However, they luckily all got good jobs anyway through hard graft and gaining pwauper experience in the 'university of life' so everyone ends up a winner on this thread. Dave, I had the qualifications to go to university but chose not to as I saw loads of people coming out with degrees they just couldn't use and struggling to get a job. Whenever I get "a tad resentful" about not having a degree, I simply think of all the people who work for me, every one of whom has a degree.

Whenever I get "a tad resentful" about not having a degree, I simply think of all the people who work for me, every one of whom has a degree. I say hurrah for self-made men who failed to gain entry to university through either a lack of application, willingess or cleverness but still prospered and I say hurrah for people who got degrees through either dad's money, cleverness or having the luck to be good at books n stuff and also went on and prospered. Hurrah for all of us! I also add a wee hurrah to those who are too young to have yet made the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broughies tach Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Students don't you just love them They don't even know where they study.

MikeN Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I suspect that due to the rather high number of early kick-offs we have, very few students would be able to get their lazy, unwashed, sponging erses out of bed in time to be able to attend many Hearts matches.

speedbump Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Rather than a strictly Edinburgh Uni based supporters club/bus, why doesn't the OP try to include all of Edinburgh's higher educational seats of learning. Running the bus from a central point, say Potter Row, with a pick up along the way, have a rep/figure head at each of the uni's and colleges to keep people informed of time etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of students from every institution getting together, and it would maybe be the easiest way to fill a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might be some demand for away games. Many students use their time in Edinburgh to explore Scotland: a bus to Aberdeen or Kilmarnock could be just that.

Jamboelite Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Employers love a good history student. Indeed they do my mate is now living in London earning a ridiculous 6 figure salary having got a job with this degree i might add totally irrelavant to the job he does but it showed his ability to learn. I read alot of very bitter people on here who may regret not having the chance to goto Uni for one reason or another at the end of the day THERE ARE STUDENTS WHO WORK THEIR ASS OFF to get a higher education and better themselves. I for one am glad that someone takes the time to study to be a Doctor, Engineer etc So if comes the time i need a life saving operation i dont find myself asking the question "So do you just have a bit of life experience or having you actually f'ing studied for doing this procedure" I worked hard and paid my way as a student I work hard in my occupation Hardly need to divide into one or the other people can be a student and hard working. Perhaps those that havent been dont understand some of the effort put in and just generally label people slackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_fae_Gillie Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 would of thought any student of EU who is a Jambo would just use thier local supporters club,not as if they live away from thier home town. Probably little sense in joining a new club for few years taking them away from thier game mates etc. Going to a match with your mates at that age was so important.Can't see why people would dump long life mates in favour of 3/4year classmates. If of course they were attending further afield colleges then it makes sense but not when its your hometown.hence why the hobos got a club....

Peebo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I've never posted before, but having just found out that there are Edinburgh University Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen and Hibs supporters clubs I feel something has to be done! What I'm asking is are there any students on the go who want to try to set up a club. Obviously a lot of students will be members of other clubs, but imagine the fun even a minibusload of jambo students could have! I go to Edinburgh uni, and I only know of a handful of jambos, but if all the unis got together I reckon a decent wee club could be set up, and it'd bring a bit of Edinburgh identity to a uni dominated by the English. Anyone up for it? Any advice from some older fans on how to go about setting up a club? Back in my day, people did try to set one up (including a former Charmain's son). I went along to the inaugural meeting, where a few big name players were in attendance (Colquhoun and Robbo included). The organisers got free Strongbow from our shirt sponsors of the time, and Craig Levein was utterly reeking. I don't recall any follow up meetings or events being arranged. Although my invite may simply have been lost in the post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
