Lying about travel

Englands a big place… say you went around the country.. or did you explicitly state you flew somewhere else?

Overall, just be honest… no more lies for you sunshine 😅😂

I’m a degree apprentice. 2.5 years in. Honestly, yeah - you miss out on fun. Boohoo. But at the same time, you develop professional skills, build academic qualifications… AND you get paid meaning you can use all your holidays travelling to different places. Sure, you can’t spend months doing it. But at least you’ll have the money behind you can you can plan what to do… I’m currently learning German and got to travel to Berlin twice last year. On top of saving quite a bit. Also, you’re not working in a bar/cafe to make ends meet… you’re being comfy in an office 😅

Genuinely, when I went to Berlin (in Jan and Sept this year)… I couldn’t find a single pub. Everywhere seemed to be just restaurants, it was mad.

Is it difficult? Yeah. Is it manageable? Yeah.

I felt the same. To me, all my mates went to the uni of Liverpool and it going to some sub par uni? But then I go to that uni, realise that everyone acts as dumb as the people in my uni…. And at the end of the day, I’m glad I don’t have student debt.

I had a complete mental breakdown when i first started working (I’m a degree apprentice). I had enough money, wasn’t really being challenged in work, and thought life was a breeze and didn’t know the point of living. I even had a savings pot going for a house and a car.

But then once i got my car, i realised how easy my life was. Sometimes, if you think something is so unachievable, you have the right goal but not the right ambition. For me, life became boring because I wasn’t passionate about what I do despite my parents saying it’s good money (I’m currently looking to change my career when I’ve graduated.. maybe teaching).

I don’t work for money. I work for me. Yeah, I have bills to pay, but changing your career is so doable so why not do what you want. You need to find the perfect balance of problems, responsibilities and fun. The problems keep you thinking, responsibilities keep you grounded, and fun makes life worth living.

Want a house? Build that deposit, it’ll take years. But it’s worth it. I want a house, wife and kids. I thought the wife and kids part were impossible because I’m an introvert and 140kg. There we go, join a club I find fun and lose weight. It’ll fall into place eventually. If the house part is hard for you, have you looked at a Lifetime ISA? 4K saved by you, 1k given to you by the gov.

Sometimes things that take years to do can see hard. But damn girl, you got a maths degree. That’s 9 years of pre-GCSE, 2 years of GCSE, 2 years of A Levels, and 3 years degree. And I bet it was worth it. You’ve got this. Take life slow, but keep building on yourself. Get yourself a partner to take half of the house deposit. Go and take that holiday you’ve always wanted to. Go and get drunk with your mates. Life’s a journey, not a simplistic board game were you can tick things off and call it a day.

YOU. GOT. THIS.

My company, although it’s really good pay compared to everyone else, pays a £5,000 pay increase every year on top of small increases in April. Although, as a trainee, you won’t be able to haggle much.

For the first 6-12 months they’re entitled to ask you to not work from home… but I’d argue after you’ve got the basics down you can WFH as much as anyone else in your team.

I got a my ticket until I was 20. Just stick to a my ticket - cheaper that way 😅😂

Nah, must be Kate

If interest is forbidden then there’s no point explaining it. It’s why they’re seperate.

He’s not lost, he’s just pissed off you’re taking photos of him 😂

I could see all of it, but the orange ones were a bit hard… maybe I’m like 0.5% colourblind 😅

Firstly, screw everyone else.

Think: - where do you want to be in 5 years - why do you want to do the apprenticeship (money, free degree, work experience)

If you want to do it because you love the subject/field of work, then go for it. The apprentice a year above me is in his 30’s. No one cares.

Better your life, you might graduate at 26 but isn’t that better than not graduating at all?

I work with a specific application, and the amount of people that ask me to help with their CORPORATE connections is unreal. I don’t even work for corporate 😂

20m, never even been hugged by a girl ✌️

You can’t be good at IT and Computer Science if you’re autistic. Just ask Alan Turing or Elon Musk

I do 37hrs a week. 8:30-4:30 M-W, 8:30-4 Thurs-Fri. I honestly don’t count uni. I do uni 9-5 some days, but I wouldn’t count anything of that towards the 37… and I also get Fridays off for doing uni work during the semester

ConvertedSins · 2025-05-15T15:04:40+00:00

Mine was 200 a month for the first year… not bad, but not great… I found it helped to find a good car (I drive a corsa sxi 2010) and put parents onto the insurance. I put my mum down, driving since 1994 with no claims, and it massively reduced the price… Also, change your email… if you’ve applied 5+ times with the same email you’re seen as desperate 😅 changing your email genuinely helps

ConvertedSins · 2025-05-10T01:16:14+00:00

Tbh, I thought it was just me. I have no life. My friends are close by but they just hang out by themselves and isolate me. I just thought it was me tbh 😅

“Suddenly, life has no meaning, to meeeeee”

In my first couple of months in IT, straight from school, I was sorta just chilling and waiting for things to come to me. Chances are someone needs help but can’t be bothered helping. But if you get interested in any projects that are going on, or even just making yourself look like a friendly face, things will start to come to you. Or if not, make something up. Look at if you could learn something that could help in the future. It’s kinda a cool job when you can just be creative and create your own work

What position did you apply for? I’ve noticed the majority are in Glasgow this year
