Just a Thought - Is there anybody on here who attained 550 - 600 points in their Leaving Cert and followed their dream to become a junior civil servant, or a call centre operator, or shop assistant, or fast food employee etc other than going through university to become a doctor etc? Please, I am not interested in anybody who would if they had achieved the high LC points, I'm interested in reality only i.e those who have actually followed their dream rather than their points.
Not knocking those jobs but they are hardly the stuff of dreams. Maybe the nearest would be someone with 550, not enough for Vet, but loves dogs and opened a dog grooming parlour.
2. You are addressing a Leaving Certificate Class and some of them want to become junior civil servants etc. You are advised that these are 600 point runners. Would you try to talk them out of their "dream."?

Not sure if this qualifies, but I got over 580 points and took a degree course in engineering that was 425 points as I felt I was tech minded. Hence, I "forfeited" 155 points. I still work in the technology area, just not 100% in what I qualified in. I don't think I have any regrets with that choice.
Yep, you would qualify. Well Done! . . . and best of luck with your dream. But, nobody with 600 LC points has yet come on here to inform us of their dream taking lowest paid job categories.
