Students Ye Be Warned...

... Even if you're a First Year, you should probably already be planning your career, applying for internships, acting all grown-up and stuff. Nobody told me this, or if they did I didn't believe them. It turns out - or so is the impression given by careers guides - that in fact the main point of being at university is to get a big impressive job at the end of it, not - as the university would have you believe - to spend three years becoming a junior researcher in your field. Of course if you do spend three years learning stuff, not captaining victorious sporting sides or leading teams of llamas across the Andes or spending your summers in City internships, and then you don't apply for a PhD at the end of it... well I'm not sure what happens to you. You fall through the gaps, or something.

So, yeah. I guess those students who were admitted deliberately rather than by a clerical error should find themselves able to 1) do their actual work 2) lead proudly a variety of societies 3) fix up internships and careers 4) go out to Cindies cos That's What Students Do. Gosh.
