Chartership takes a lot of work and its understandable
that people question whether its worth it sometimes.
While the thread did start out as a bit of a bitching
and moaning session (which sometimes can act
to support people who felt they were alone in feeling
bad about some things), I do feel that the thread is starting to
produce some positive comments.
I remember that at college some of our bitching sessions
were quite productive in the end- we'd start off moaning,
realise that other people were having the same problems,
and then end up talking about what could be done,
how we might approach particularly obscure assignments,
what a lecturer wanted in a particular piece of work.
And of course, your own comment is moaning about moaning
(Really not meant unkindly- just a positive observation ;-) )
