JCAP3,

If you going to do a degree I would seriously think about reconsidering your choice of course. I'm a Sports Science graduate of 5 years & have yet to find a career as a result of my degree & neither have many that I was studying with. We were even told by the head of dept. in our final semester of our final year that there aren't many, if any, opportunitiews out there for Sports Science grads. Just something for you to think about as in hindsight I wish I had been made aware of this before I opted for my choice of Degree.

Aye, thanks mate. The back up plan anyway was to start a personal training business in my area.

That sounds promising & far more financially rewarding. Southampton was where I done my degree funnily enough (New College formally LSU - Archers Rd - some great memories!!!!!)

Been run off my feet since i got back (or at least whilst i've been awake!). I can't see myself having the time in the next couple of weeks either with AIB 26th June. Looks like it was my dosage of Ibuprofen that gave me the stomach problems - i was majorly over the recommended dose & my stomach still isn't right. How do you feel physically now John? A couple of days has done the trick for me!

bit late here, but well done lads - glad you got through it, i suspect it was even more grueling with this weather, that always adds an extra strain!!
