I'm curious, from reading general forum postings and banter.

Iz cun reed un rite.

I R EDUK8ED.

I'm not bright but I can lift heavy things.

To degree level, although you learn for more by self educating (read mistakes) than you do from schooling. Yourself?

too educated for most jobs 😳

Sufficiently for my current employment.

just enough education to perform

University of life, mate. University of life. 🙂

simples….

Educated enough to earn a comfortable living but not enough to do my kid's homework some nights.

I have a degree in drinking, dancing very badly, sausage sandwiches, rugby league and mechanical engineering.

2:2* degree from a "proper" university 😉

* yes I know, sh*te 🙂

Expensively…

i was educated by the school of life

oh and a HND, 4 a-levels and 10 GCSEs, none of which has helped me gain employment in my chosen profession 🙂

i went to university but did little work, this prepared me for employment in the public sector.

University of Life for me to. And School of 'Ard Knocks, obviously.

from what i've read elsewhere, clearly more than some but less than others!

Nowt wrong with a Desmond.

Left school before taking exams, my old man died and I just took off, working my way round youth hostels, nothing glamourous like yoofs of today would do.

Did a HND and started a BA years later all a waste of time AFAIWC.

2:2 = relaxed, but competent.

I've got six A levels. Took me three years to get them though.

AAB at A-Level (comprehensive). Graduated from Oxford Uni (2.1). Hold a Diploma in Adult Nursing. Am halfway thru' an MA course in Archaeology. Earn **** all (& reasonably ok with that).

Well enough to know that riding a bike is more deserving of my time and effort than trying to climb the greasy corporate pole in an attempt to gain status 🙂

If I could go back and have another go at life the one I would do differently is work harder at school and university. I winged it for years, ended up OK but think I missed out on some things.

Did you forget to leave school?

What mcboo said.

I have a PhD in magic* and Grade 8 trumpet.

Dr Joe
*I kid you not – "Creating Illusion in Computer Aided Performance" is the title. You can read it on my website.

2:1 (Hons) Mech Eng and it's not worth wiping my 455 on it! Over qualified for my current job but not enough experience for where I should be and too old for a graduate training position.

Should have left school at 16 and got myself a trade!

I have a PhD in cow shit

I just passed my grade 3 classical guitar. Everyone else taking music exams that day was at least three times younger than me.

I'm still cr@p!

Selection of qualifications in pedantry* and arguing#.

* Proofreading and accountancy
# 2:1 in Classics from a posh University

Bsc Hons, PhD molecular genetics and HPA clincal scientist. It's doesn't make you clever or practical though.

I'm dead clever, me. I haven't got any proof though.

gcses

a – levels

arts 2:1 degree from an ex-poly type uni which on reflection is pretty much worthless

most of my contempories seemed to get very enthused about where they wanted to go to Uni/ what course they wanted to do – and as a result ended up on good courses at good universities

I just knew I wanted to leave home and that was it – had vague ideas about wanting to live in London and just drifted to where I ended up

daft really as my a-level results, though not incredible were good enough to get me a place somewhere much better

my life since then has continued on a steady path of self inflicted under performance 😥

riding a bike

The pedagogical value of riding a bike is…. immense. IMO.

Enough to know that education only gets your foot in the door, it's all down to YOU after that.

Proper ones then, not modern ones.

Edit….but not patient enough to allow the screen to refresh when it's going a bit slow.

Welding Certificate 😀

Also, enough to be dismayed by the amount of typos and missing words in the mag each issue.
