Degrees

[Edwin Starr]

Anyone on here got a degree .

I know it may come as a surprise but I don't have one .

When I was at school it was mostly people from wealthy families that went to university.

In my day you left school and got a job in my case a trade .

Things are different now with free university places here in Scotland which means more people from working class backgrounds  now have opportunities we didn't have.

I don’t think this is necessarily a good thing.

No.

 

[YorkDon]

No, but was set to do A levels (schooled mostly in England) in History, German & English Lit.

Discovered lager and chasing women and for some reason decided to join the army instead of continuing my education.

[Beachend Bootboy]

No.  Left school, got a trade.  Worked all me life. Workin' class way?

Further education ??. Not for me. Each to their own.

[Bournemouth Gee]

No education to speak of

I'm a Tory MP now

[Redforever86]

Got a crap degree in property. Left before I finished my honours because I went to get pished and see Aberdeen play in Madrid rather than do an essay.

Aye. Did it in my 30s still working full time. Hasn't helped me in the slightest employment wise but it wasn't supposed to. More of a pursuit of interests than anything else. 

Okay Johnny 2 pencils.

Got a degree. Felt the entire process was a bit drawn out. No need for 4 years to do an honours degree. Could've condensed that in to 3 years easy. 

I spent half my time at uni playing Yahoo pool or drinking.
