After years of study, visiting the library on saturday afternoons, packing myself off with my tent to revise, complaining about some college lecturers, reading study texts, remembering formulae and business models, spending up 10 hours at college per day, travelling back late evenings from Scumhampton or Chichester, undertaking variance analyses, studying varying management styles, organisational structures, asking lecturer to explain-explain and explain again the rudiments of process costing, grasp the essence of learning curves, trial balances, consolidated I&E accounts, group accounts, IFRS's, FRS's, SSAP's, hedging, puts, calls, options, FRA's, SWAP's, Porter's models, SWOT, PEST, Mission Statements, business tax, corporation tax, marginal rate of tax, capital allowances, writing-down allowances, first year allowances, double taxation relief, valuing companies using dividend growth model, income model, asset value, dividend policy, investment decision, NPV's, ARR, working capital calculations, and so the list goes on.
It was good studying with Esther, Sophie, Wayne and Crissie---here's hoping S,W & C also reach and pass the finishing line.
It remains for me to thank the lecturers and in particular Krystyna at http://www.southdowns.ac.uk/ Mark the taxman at Southdowns, John Mc, John N and Eric C at http://www.solent.ac.uk/ without whom we would not have so many anecdotes to recount...and so forth.
