Oooh! Ireland! Iwannabethere! :love:

Im a 17 year old student, Im going back to college in september and starting my new course - The Higher national dipolma in ICT : http://www.bridgwater.ac.uk/pages/un...rseCode=R1114A

Not sure what i plan to do for work after that.

well i read through a few pages but didn't see any Pizza delivery people!

everyone thinks i fit the mold perfectly but i really dont. i tell people i play video games all night, i live in a basement, i deliver pizza for a living, and i live off of pizza and mountain dew.

after they hear all that, they assume the following:

I live in my mothers basement
I'm overweight
and i'm 40

truth is, i'm under 30, pay rent, (not my mothers basement) and and skinny as a toothpick. but it is truly amazing all the idiots online that ask that question "wow you must be rich, what do u do for a living" when they see u 5 boxing. someone else on here mentioned the same thing i always say. "75/month is nothing compared to what i spend when i'm in a bowling league, or go golfing 2-3 times a week" i live on a golf course and it costs 20+ bucks just to walk 18 holes, i used to golf 36+ holes a week when i worked on the course but screw paying that much for 4 hours of entertainment. not to mention its 100+ degree's outside =p

so yes, i deliver pizza, make decent money at it, and it gives me a lot of free time to play games with my friends =D
oh and gas prices going up is killing my income, please do me a favor and dont take it out on your pizza delivery person by not tipping them. just remember we're in the tip industry, 15% is good enough, but more is always appreciated =P

btw i'll be posting pic's of my setup soon hopefully. just got my new pc on july 23rd and finally got all my monitors and keyboards situated the way i like em. 3 pc/monitors 5 chars.

I work 2.5 jobs atm. Sandwich delivery, Freaky Fast, Freaky Good. And I'm a supervisor with Big Brown. And I donate plasma =D People who don't tip need to be sterilized.

I'm a student ICT. Nuff said. Dutch educations suck. A master in Artifical Intelligence is what I'm aiming for tough.

By beginning with fun hobby projects right now (if you're not doing so already) imo. Think of some game/multimedia application that is fun and challenging, start designing and then start coding :)
If you want some samples of projects, here's my project website: http://lifeisdigital.net/

The best way to get in is to be able to show what you can do. That's how I got in without a degree.
