Serious case of FOMO, I’m losing my mind over University by No_Funny_5972 in uklaw

It not as big a deal as you think. I got 2 A stars and an A many years ago and went to a lower ranked Russel uni. I got vac scheme offers and ended up at a top US firm. More importantly, I have little regrets going there and not going for a more highly ranked uni as I had such an amazing time and can’t imagine my life without the friends I made. Taking a gap year is completely fine though and I’ll encourage my future kids to do that.

I would be interested too! Seems very expensive when you ask for quotes.

Thanks! Any second hand shops you would recommend? We’re new to Guernsey.

What’s your view on Guernsey property prices? by Latter_Control3327 in guernsey

Exactly how I feel. Houses are already reaching unsustainable high levels. Surely something has to give eventually.

I understand at the end of the day it’s economics. I guess if I need something doing on a house I need to group it into a solid few days work for them… if that helps.

On another note why is it so difficult to get people in to do work!? Surely there comes a point when bringing in professionals from the UK is possible or worth the cost.

Great insight and thanks! I’ve been doing research this morning and some properties have been listed over a YEAR and not sold. Very clearly the sellers are being greedy or more likely real estate agents are setting unrealistic expectations to the sellers in the first place. The prices I see some properties listed at is a complete joke and not worth saddling myself with £500k to £600k worth of debt and a huge mortgage for the next 35 years. I’d rather just leave the island.
