Don't wait, dude. Get it fixed... NOW, otherwise the same thing that happened to this guy might happen to you. |

Legion, university isn't everything. I learnt this lesson the hard way. I've met labourers who've worked for four years straight after HS and are on their way towards owning their own house. In contrast, within those same four years, I've graduated with a slip of paper, a huge debt on my hands, and intermettent work experience and I'm still struggling. University isn't everything. BELIEVE ME. You've got a variety of options at your disposal. Now you've certainly cut your options if you fail English, but you still have training providers available who can train you with various trades and machinery. As long as you have the $$$, your HS marks shouldn't matter. Personally, I regard university as bullshit. Unless you're *very* intellectual and intend to become a researcher, you're better off just doing straight-off work experience for four years in your interested field, rather than waste it in some lecture hall. EDIT: Exceptions would be if you wanted to be a professional and absolutely need tertiary qualifications, e.g. a doctor, dentist, lawyer, engineer, etc. But otherwise university isn't necessary.

I don't think you can be prohibited from attending university lectures, even if you haven't paid. So if you want, rock up to a lecture, sit in the back, and no-one will know that you're a freeloader. The only thing is that you won't be assesssed, but you can still learn if that's what you want. You'll probably won't be able to attend labs, tutorials, or workshops though. They usually check for your student ID, although that isn't always the case. And you'll probably need login details if you're using a computer. If you're a freeloader, obviously this will be impossible to obtain. |
But basically, you should be free to attend lectures and learn if that's what you really want. (restricted) | (restricted) | (restricted) |

I'm starting to lose hair myself. It is very depressing - you find yourself unable to connect with similarly-aged peers if you look a decade older than them. On the other hand, chicks DIG older guys. If you can steer your hair loss in the right direction (try to look like a hard, ambitious, educated worker), it will work to your advantage. |

Can't she move in with you temporally? Your dad sounds like the kind, understanding type. I'm pretty sure she'd be grateful for sleeping on the sofa. At least by providing some kind of stable pad for her to stay, she can re-strategise her life. |
As for your father and the people who rely on you... it's a tough call, but personally I'd sacrifice myself for the community. How bad is your dad's illness? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
