GCSE's - do they run out?

[GinG]

I was speaking to a friend the other day, well having a bit of a discussion really.

I have always thought GCSE's are a waste of time, I have never needed them for any job I have had and tbh they dont really show a lot...

Anyway doesnt really matter what we were discussing, however my friend said that he was talking to his boss at work and asked why he never got asked for qualifications, it was because his boss was under the assumption after 6 years or so the qualifications pretty much run out and its on life/work experience there after.

Obviously I was quite pleased that this supported my arguement about them being pointless, but...is it true? Do you go through them for no reason and after x amount of years they are pretty much redundant?

lol @ thread title. Someone missed one in English

CC how I do not know!!!

 

[GinG]

yes, they expire, just like all qualifications!
seriously wtf?


well your mates boss is an idiot.

dunno about you, but i'd be pretty miffed if i spent £50,000 on an MBA and then being told 7 years later that, "sorry mate, your MBA is over 6 years old. it ain't worth squat."

think an MBA is quite different than GCSE / A Levels.

I think what I was trying to say is that those you get forced to do are acctually pointless...
