Stupidly well educated :p

I'll have completed a masters by September and will be starting the Phd immediately after. None of that though has helped towards my current job role and I get paid significantly better than people I do know with Masters and Phds. In fact, one of my closest friends has no uni qualifications and earns a similar amount to me, with uni education. :)

BTEC here @ Merit. I couldn't be bothered with uni as at the time I wasn't really a people person and I just wanted to get out there earning money. Has worked out fine :)
 
I was born clever and grew up to be stupid.

Aside from the quip, I think the fundamental aspect that has come from the poll, after reading it, is simply an acknowledgement of the fact that intelligence remains very much a factor of someone with an open mind wishing to learn as learning is ageless.

Ergo everyone always keeps the potential to expand their education (and so their intellect) simply through living, unless unfortunate circumstances dictate the brain work otherwise.
 
You missed mine out. :p HNC level 5. Studying for HND at the moment. 9 distinctions, 3 merits. Doing my final 4 units this year. Won an award last year as part of the top group of students, and am being awarded another this year as the top student overall.
 
Missed most of this thread. Some of you guys crack me up. Do you ever sleep?

Alcohol seems to grant amazing powers of reasoning and comprehension here. What starts as a simple thread, becomes a philosophical debate about cellular intelligence and dogs bottoms.

Welcome to the elite.

Sometimes there are better things to be doing than adding polls to threads, like sleeping.

You've now got a poll albeit it might not be precisely what you're aiming for. The degree classification seemed like an irrelevance if you're trying to find out to what level people are educated - if people really want to reveal it then that's up to them to post in the thread and do so. Vocational qualifications (NVQs) at L1/L2 are equivalent to a set number of GCSEs so putting them on the options wouldn't add much.

I've added on the options for having no qualifications and for having professional qualifications that may supersede any of your other qualifications as since it's not a multiple choice poll it has to be the highest level attained to be of any use.
