Education

[Jerrek]

What degrees do you hold, and where did you get them?

Are you thinking of getting anything in the future?

[Alanmelon]

I have a BSc in Optometry. As for future degrees - might do a masters in the same eventually!

[Bex]

i have a philosophy BA, from leeds uni
At some point planning on doing a PGCE (unless coggy talks me out of it )

[Nugget]

Hmmm, apparently you're all smarter than me 'cos I've only got an HND in Business & Finance (Administration). Mind you, that was two years of really hard work (it’s surprising how difficult it is to pay attention to a lecture when you were out till 3 in the morning )

I do keep threatening to go back to college and re-try the degree that I dropped out of (Sociology & Psychology), but can’t afford it at the moment

[punky]

I got a 2-2 BSc Software Engineering from Coventry University.

If I end up in Orlando, i'll probably do a masters at UCF, otherwise I probably won't bother, unless I struggle getting a job here.

[Shaun]

I'm half way through a BSc in Molecular sciences

[Ramrod]

BSc Chiropractic

[altis]

BSc Hons in Electrical Engineering and Electronics from UMIST which is now (or soon will be) absorbed into Manchester University.

Not that I would recommend the place - we never really got on. I think the rot started in the first year when, in a Wheatstone Bridge practical, I noticed the aparatus had the date 1893 stamped on it! Hardly cutting edge I thought but I'm a bit older and wiser now. Still that was over 25 years ago and things have probably changed a lot. These days, the only topic that I use frequently is transmission lines and I wish I'd paid more attention to control theory - ho hum.

i've actually considered going back and doing a sociology degree...... but it would mean another three years and being skint all the time if i win the lotto then maybe

What, you mean you're unqualified for your present job - does that mean you got the job based on your *cough* experience

Well I'm not actually *aware* of any academic qualifications which are available for my current employment, but if you know anywhere I can study it I'm sure I'll be happy to enroll for a course...!
