Poll: Poll: Are you educated

[Biohazard]

Natwee said she did, too. But then both Nat and Will failed to get a degree, so maybe that says something .

Some mature students can get on some courses without having to have prerequisit depending on the their experience... so I'm led to believe anyway. It is possible to blag your way on a course without showing education attainment beforehand like some (most?) Uni's want.

 

[RomanNose]

A level so far, hopefully take it up a notch or two .

 

[alexakasloth]

Degree level, yet, I'm still in the same retail job as before uni.

 

[j.col]

ignore

 

[Jonesiani]

Got A levels, and HNC mechanical eng.
Hoping to do HND soon.
Oh I have a higher diploma in fine art, which I got back in 2003 and have done absolutely nothing with.

 

[Bennie-Mac]

My education is life. You can't teach that!

But in reality I have 10 GCSE's, 3 A Levels and a Masters in Mechanical Engineering.

Edit - I should add that I don't actually use my degree in my line of work, I have a few professional training qualifications relating to my industry but nothing special.

 

[stigggeh]

6 GCSEs - 2 C's (Science and Typing) the rest lower.

> worked hard after school and now have MSc

Trust someone who can do a sub 30 50m fly

Perhaps thats why you think it's easy

From my experience swimming for a local team as a teenager , of the half dozen good swimmers we had only a couple could swim butterfly competitvley, and I always ended up doing it in the medleys as I was the best of a bad bunch basically

 

[HangTime]

None of the above

 

[JBod]

GCSEs only for me despite going to college and university

ultra fail

Gimme a high 5!

Us failures need to stick together... Although technically I have General Studies A-Level.

 

[Will Gill]

How did you get into uni without any A Levels?

A nice letter from my employers giving me a glowing reference, which was a load of tripe

hehe, well i think dropping out was the best thing I ever did, all the spods from my school with 11 a*s and silver spoons up their bums are in dead end jobs earning next to nothing, just goes to show education doesnt equal certain career success

If you can just imagine Will in a blonde wig, tossing his tresses and making come to bed eyes at lecturers then you're probably not too far off the mark...

This was a secret

 

[James J]

Middle of my masters

 

[trickycurve]

BTEC National Diploma in IT (@ triple Distinction) is my highest qualification at the moment, but hopefully that will change in the summer once I've finished my HND in Computing and CCNAs.

 

[IRLeetly]

2 years of a Ba, Had to stop due to health reasons, but got me a nifty but useless HnD in the process.

 

[SkidMarkKing]

GCSE's
A Levels/Highers or equivalent

Wanted to do a CISCO course but can't get the funding and they are very expensive to take part in.

 

[Keod2]

GCSE's + AS-levels (doing A levels) and Im planning on going to Uni once Ive finished my A-levels.

 

[Stinger53]

currently have A-levels, but at uni doin a HND n hope to advance onto a degree after

 

[GravyMonster]

8 GCSEs and a GNVQ - which I think is equivalent to an A-level? To be honest the GNVQ was a complete waste of time.

 

[sbi5ar]

Why group a "3rd" with a "1st"??? (this might have been answered but I'm not going to go through 5 pages to find out). The difference between the two is immense!

As for me... Degree, but almost at the end of my PhD (Hooray!)
