Level Of Education

[Coding Monkey]

I was just wondering what level of education people have. With 40% of people now going to university, I was curious how many people who run their own companies went to university or what level of education they have.

I'm completely self taught and just have 3 A-Levels in philosophy, politics and psychology.

[MinuWeb]

[annethedonn]

Me too... didn't even know what Uni was when I was at school!

[Jayne]

[annethedonn]

OOhhhh I never can say goodbye.....

[Admiral Collections]

Lol!

So Anne if you can never say goodbye, when will I see you again?


Nic :wink:

[Urban Space]

What are O-Levels?! We don't have them these days!
GSCE>A Level>Degree I think! I'm stuck at the bottom of the ladder getting ready for GCSE's!

O Level Liam is equivalent to A - C GCSE


Nic :wink:

[Urban Space]

Hehe thanks

[Whistle Ink]

Loads of GCSEs, 3 A Levels and a degree! None of it really means anything! :D

[clairemackaness]

12 GCSE's and a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts.

The University of Life, the best of all.

Nic :wink:

[annethedonn]

Lol!

So Anne if you can never say goodbye, when will I see you again?


Nic :wink:

Sorry Nic, being heteresexual, I'm A Woman in Love, and My Simple Heart is taken by not such a Dirty Ole Man, but a young one! So Take Good Care of Yourself!!

[clairemackaness]

All hail the universtiy of life.

Classic example.....No university for me and I'm earning in excess of 30k in a high powered job.

Hubby at uni for three years is a manager a retail manager earning 15k!!

[annethedonn]

Yes, but are you happy lol!!! Actually, my hubby has a Degree and has to work long shifts to make up the dosh, and I have a couple of O Levels and I'm running my own business and had £40k in the bank before I even started!

[Coding Monkey]

Aww, poor guy. He obviously knew you didn't marry him for his money

[Cornish Steve]

I hope this response doesn't come across the wrong way, but you did ask;

- BSc (First class honours) in Physics (Wales)
- PhD in theoretical physics (Wales)
- MBA (Georgia, US)

I'm also a member of two national honour societies in the US (membership in which depends on your grade at graduation):

- Phi Kappa Phi
- Beta Gamma Sigma

[annethedonn]

Wow, go Steve!!!! Very impressive.

And no Tom, I definitely didn't marry him for his money! Not sure if he feels the same though lol!

[clairemackaness]

Yes, but are you happy lol!!! Actually, my hubby has a Degree and has to work long shifts to make up the dosh, and I have a couple of O Levels and I'm running my own business and had £40k in the bank before I even started!

Very happy, I love my job as I make a differnece to peoples lives on a daily basis. I dont work to hard have a great salary and good perks and still have time to do my art.

[Coding Monkey]

Yeah, Steve, very impressive!

I can't relate to any other half about income, but the majority of my friends are at university, so it wouldn't really be fair to compare income.

[Admiral Collections]

LOl @ Anne, class!


Nic :wink:

[annethedonn]

lol, thanks Nic.

Glad you're happy Claire, I was only kidding by the way. You go for it, it makes a nice change to see women doing well. It's good you have time to relax too!

[MinuWeb]

Whipee! I'm more brainy than Tony, I've got an A level in Art :lol: :lol:

Oh and 5 O levels.

Jayne

I thought A level art was more about art than intelligence :D :D

[clairemackaness]

arty types are very intelligent! I should know

[Coding Monkey]

And more beautiful. Oh, sorry, wrong thread.

[Admiral Collections]

Ouch VS! I was meant to pursue further education but chose not to. If I had, I might be a top journalist or on the dole instead of koshing people for fun!



Nic

[MinuWeb]

Now I am confused !

I might be a top journalist or on the dole instead of koshing people for fun!


definitely don't possess a balaclava and a kosh.

Love the way you group journalists and folks on the dole :D :D

[Hayles]

A distinction in RSA level I typing when I was 14..... (That's the only exam I ever took at school!)

I took a couple of GCSE's for fun when the children were young and got A* in English, Accounts and ..... something else I can't remember :?

VS Hosting - Journalism is cut throat, now I just cut throats! lol


Nic :wink:

[Coding Monkey]

I did manage AAC in my A-Levels, but I actually failed my graphics GCSE. You had to take one of the technologies and I simply cannot draw or produce anything artistic - I just decided sitting down and doing nothing was better than cooking or woodwork.

Oh, the irony of running a web design company.

[Richard Conyard]

Can I just be a clever dick without the paperwork ?

[Admiral Collections]

Sure thing Richard. Who needs paperwork!


Nic :wink:

[Richard Conyard]

Well I guess it helps your clients getting the funds owed etc. or placing the CCJs.

Answering seriously I have a degree - though when I have the time and money I want to go back and do a research doctorate.

[Jayne]

Whipee! I'm more brainy than Tony, I've got an A level in Art :lol: :lol:

Oh and 5 O levels.

Jayne

I thought A level art was more about art than intelligence :D :D

lol...It is, but half of the exam is Art History :D

Just couldn't resist pulling your leg Tony :lol:

Jayne

[bwglaw]

Me, huh... left school with nothing but a B in Geography, went on to do Painting and Decorating to NVQ 3, had my own decorating business at age of 19 (supported by Princes Trust) then did a AS in Law and Criminology and achieved equiv to 3 'O' Levels, 3 'A' Levels, got into one of the best Law Schools in Nottingham, got law degree bunched with 9 years experience in senior management and legal practice.

Currently doing some studying but finding the time is a current problem!

[Jayne]

Bits of paper are useless on their own, experience it the key to all knowledge :D

You cannot beat a bit of hard graft to learn!
