FCHouse A blog about our lives, our passions, our photos

Of Course I have not decided yet, but I wish to say a “Big Thank You” to a man I respect for gifting me with his time and his thoughts, even without knowing me.

He knows I am talking about him.

Thank You again, you told me what I needed to hear.

yes, never it’s too late, yes it is good to have an university dregree, yes it is hard whenever you want to do it, yes it is even harder when you let time pass but i return to where i begin … it is never too late

what i am trying to say is university like any other period of our lives are “cycles”, cycles that need to be concluded, because is part of our lives, we are human beings that have a period of being student and where university could be the highest point we can reach so i think finishing university shows our perseverance.

now if i see finishing university as professional goal, is important too because whether we like it or not, employeers look for prepared people and the only thing we could have to prove we are prepared is our degree, even if our degree doesnt make us good profesionals.

reaching great things in life is never easy, we only have to put some effort in order to get it if we really want to, as a friend i can tell you that i felt veeeeery great when i passed my thesis exam, it feels good to have those kind of satisfaction because i knew i was finishing my student goal.
i invite you to feel this kind of satisfaction by finishing university, you may not see the results just straight away but i’m sure you will at some point of your professional career.

i agree frank its never too late and i think, taking this chance will be one of the best things you can do, if you are really serious about leaving Italy a university degree will be great for you and needed, so good thoughts ;)

I had never understood that we are so small and that only the knowledge should help us

however no one is saying and certainly no one in england is saying only knowledge can help you of course experience must stand for something, but imagin a job like mine, with no training, something terrible could happen. Even more important a doctor or nurse imagin a doctor or nurse with no qulification, it’s not possible we need that training in life, yet we also need the experience too.

Knowledge and Experience are two different side of the same medal.
Like in a medal, those two things have some parts in common, but you should have both to be “complete”

University Degree is not for leaving Italy. I don’t care (it is not a very important part) but it is one of the many things I was thinking at!

Bye

leaving Italy is not important ? or the degee isn’t? im confussed lol

Leaving Italy does not have all this weight on the decision about the University.
It helps, but it is not the primary or the secondary reason to get the Degree!

We are talking about two different fields.

Graduating helps also in leaving Italy, it means that it will weight in the “Do It” part.

:)

Sorry, my comment was confusing!
Bye

Carlo,

I have a Job, I’m married and I’m studying in Italy. More than this we had a beatiful, little child that is now doing his little experiences.

Some post ago you criticized the Italian school system and so I feel the need to tell you that people who study and work in Italy are not encouraged (safe for some exceptional University like Politecnico with the Online Degree in Computer Science).

For example, ’cause of work, I missed the chance to attend an exam (Electronics) in September; now I’ve to wait until January ! What a mess !

I’ts a long time and in the meantime I’ve to look for a new work, studying and solve many other not-so-easy life problems.
I’ts hard also for this careless planning of the exams by the university, so the will is slowly fading…

Be careful in your degree choice, prefer the degree which is promising you the desired cultural content and the lesser impact on your stressed nerves.

Hi Stefano
Some years ago I tried to Work and Study at the same time and the experience was devastating: professors that gave me a specific time for the exam without being there that day and so on. I quitted even before the first exams, after two of them gone for the stupidity of two professors.

Now I rely on the “teledidactic” course, just to be sure no one will ever ask me to be present to a lesson: I simply can’t.

My job is not a part time, I am well stressed by my job, but in the end I like it!
My choice would fall on Informatic Engineering, because I like it, because it will be something I’ll like to study!

I am still waiting for the right moment to decide, because my excitement to be involved again with the Graduation is mitigated by the knowledge that it will NOT be easy!

Thank You All,
Thank You for your comments, for your experiences you are sharing here.
I appreciate a lot!

Sincerely,
The C of FCHouse
