I was invited twice to join the ranks of the mathematicians ,but was never asked again when I refused to stand for the Queen at an engagement party.

My granny would have been 701 but she's fuckin deid.

[dervish]

I canna do maths, no invite for me. If she's been dead long enough she might not be 701 but might be OIL?

One of my auld apprentices went straight into HND in IT,then after 5 years at Uni he travels all over the world.

I'll still no call him Dr Colin,he can hum on my hairy balls.The tight cunt .

[dervish]

Knowing stuff with no application is no use. Any cunt who pulls out qualifications as why they are better than thou is a fragile individual. Having said that have a feeling I'm gonna feel pretty fragile getting up in 4hrs with a few snifters in me.

Masters of Mechanical Engineering (MEng).

 

I wouldn't rule out further study in the future if the need or desire arose.

[StandFree1982]

MSc Information Engineering, basically the same modules as the Computing honours degree! Piece of piss.

It's basically a Computer Science MSc, but they stick the word Engineering into the title to make it sound relevant in Aberdeen.

Same here. If I had my time again though, not sure I'd go the same route. I was among the first generation to pay tuition fees, but it was the abolition of grants (and replacing them with loans) that really screwed the working class over and created a debt mountain that doesn't always justify the investment.

Also interesting how the goalposts moved twice in 1999; first with tuition fees and again with the UK SPEC criteria for Chartership, going from a BEng (Hons) to Masters level (MEng or MSc) requirement. Many of us millennials have been Chartered a long time, but are behind bosses who not only benefitted massively from free education, with a grant they could practically live on for 3/4 years, but who only needed a Bachelor's degree (and jumped through fewer hoops) to get Chartered.

It was in the days before parralel parking was part of the test, I'd probably fail these days, can't park worth a feck!

Didn't pass your English then ?

That's a really interesting story.  You should tell it in more detail next time min.

I'm sorry, you have read far too much into that. Firstly, I'm not referring to people "promoted over me", rather the older generation who are already above me. I am happy with my lot overall. I'm simply saying the changes to education and the engineering profession (among others) after 1999 made it harder for our young people to succeed. As a father of young kids that concerns me greatly.

It's not sour grapes to point out the bounties enjoyed by the post-war generation and baby boomers were unprecedented - and may never be seen again. A wider issue is that, since the late-90's, too much prestige has been placed on higher education, to the detriment of skilled trades and vocational work, whether it's good old fashioned British snobbery, or other factors.

For a pea brain with the attention span of a gnat, I'm it surprised that triggered you. Your post is duly noted.
