"I'm a student at Queen's [University Belfast]. When I'm finished with my degree I'm probably going to get the hell out of Northern Ireland. I'm sick of the same old sectarian bullshit arguments peddled over and over again."And another:
"I left for university. I've never looked back (except in despair and trepidation)."
@brianjohnspencr no one I know who left NI has returned. Earn good money in an exciting job here, or work in a call centre/bar in Belfast?
