Re: UKNM: RE: University v. Drop Outs

[Zing!n Media]

Well, I`m in the unique(ish) position of running a dot com AND ploughing

through a degree in commercial law.

Bloody hard work juggling both but I have a great team at Zingin and

understanding tutors at Uni so it's not too much hassle.


If I had to give up one tomorrow it would definitely be the degree -

dotcomming is too much fun - but if I can get both then I'll certainly be a

better person for it.
