You’re grasping at straws now to get on my nerves.

Hmmmm get use to it!!!!

For the rest of your life you will have people like me judging you.

Has for my English, well I did do a B eng in Engineering, I did have to work full time while doing it, and my university did make sure I had A level maths and physic’s

At the time they would not let you into university without them.

The HNC in mechanic and electrical engineering I had at the time was not enough.

How can people say they have the same degree level as me?

So when these damn people say they have the same level of education has me after pasting a few college courses, I do take notice of them.

The universities have gone from a place of learning, to a place of business.

It’s simply a case of get them in, lower the pasts marks and push them out the door.

And the funny thing is that “geordbird” can’t see it.

excuse me!
AS others know i to had to have A levels to get into uni, i got maths, english and psychology.
i did those before i went to uni!!
i also worked whilst at uni ok not full time but then i had 2 kids to look after as well.

So let me get this right.

We are now paying for “anyone” to attend university, regardless of merit or academic ability?

So I have been wrong all these years?

I always thought the whole point of a university education was that young people would gain skills and a good base for business, law or medical training.

Now it seems anyone can go and they do.

Which only reinforces my belief that education standards are now worthless and pointless.

Has a employer I must say, that anyone who has no work history is unemployable.

Anyone from a council house with kids, over 30 and a single parent is unemployable.

Anyone from a 3rd rate university and a trivial past mark is unemployable.

Awww does that sound unfair?

Remember we don’t have to be fair, at a job interview we have an employee profile, if you don’t match it, we don’t have to see you.

Maybe “geordiebird” can explain what she is going to do with her degree and why the taxpayer has just spent £30,000 per year educating her?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

The only reason you “did it” was to make yourself feel better?

You can call me “old school”, but I feel it would have been cheaper if you had just seen your “JP” and got some nice pills to make yourself feel better.

I think your just part of the group of morons who feel that having a degree would make you and your life better?

The reason you’re not happy or live in a nice house is that you need a degree?

Face it; most of the 21 year old are laughing here heads off at you and with good reason.

After all it’s not like you intend to find a job or get a career.

Yet again the tax payer has been force to sub some single parent and her life style choices.

Has for the rest of you, full time education should stop at 21, not 41.

Any of you who feel that they need a 3 year rest at a 3rd rate school too, remember this most employers will not read your “CV’s” for the simple reason, you are too old and have no work history.

even the longest journey begins with one small step

she has a big advantage on younger applicants
she has life experience i wouldnt look at where she got the degree
i’m sure not many employers give a sh it barring oxford/cambridge
geography dictates where any mature student does further education
i personally applaud anyone that wants further development
the fact she is a mother of two lovely kids makes it even more commendable it sets a good example for them
education should be a right for anyone born on these isles irrespective of age
better than housing future terrorists
good for you GB and fu’ ck the begrudgers
envy makes people cry

well said ROTT and thank you :D

DOA of course i didnt totally do it to make myself feel better but obviously along the way it did! and those nice pills from my GP, thats GP, wouldnt have made any difference at all to me, i was never sad. :lol:
as for the 21 years olds laughing at me. no way!!! ive made a few very good friends at uni who are all under 24 and we respect EACH OTHER.
