hey /sci/
I don't normally frequent these boards but here goes.
I've been accepted into uni, starting 2011 for Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
I'm debating whether to go uni, or get a shit job, save up then travel the world and live from my backpack.
Persuade me to take the course.

You will never have another chance to travel the world again, young and unfettered, as you are now.

The world doesn't look much different somewhere else.

something I've always wanted to do

visit the great lakes region in the democratic republic of congo.

I hear they've got some tight young girls and no laws whatsoever.

Though they also have aids and murderous bands of thugs gangraping everything that can't run away fast enough. Oh well, no risk, no fun.

Do it after you graduate. Get your degree so you can have something to fall back on/a safety net. It'd be a smart bet for you.

I've been to Kenya and travelled ALL of Europe with my family.
No we aren't rich we did Europe in a Peugot 406, in three months and Kenya was a school trip.
In the UK we have this thing where if you don't get a job that pays over 20k/annum within 30 years your debts get cancelled, but I'm not up for travelling for 30 years after I graduate.

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
