I got 10 which is good considering I don't watch, nor give the remotest bit of a shit about, the news

I R ignorant.

Actually, we're still better than 92% of whatever subject group was used for the survey, assuming you're in the same age bracket as I am, of course.

Anyway, 10/12 is still 83%. In my school, that was an A

Sally Redux

Your school was Approved

My school was the dog's bollocks really, looking back. Not too many chavvy types and teachers who didn't seem to care that I walked around school smelling quite obviously like I'd just had a crafty fag in the bogs (and I don't care how dirty that sounds ...)

I seem to remember that in Uni though, and bear in mind I went to a Russel Group, top-30 uni, all one needed for a First was an overall average of 67%. Now, I didn't manage that while I was there, of course, but the OU had the same requirements and I was bloody kicking arse on that before I had to abandon it to move out here.

Sally Redux

Pretty convincing, except that you've mis-spelled Russell

SultanOfSwing

Makes an 'L' of a difference, that, doesn't it?

Sally Redux

Can't you carry on OU over there? Could be wrong.

SultanOfSwing

Not at the time, maybe now though, I haven't looked into it since I moved. I'd have to start over though, I was about 3/4 of the way through my first year course when I left the UK.

No it's too sensible and egalitarian for the US.

Sally Redux

Gun Studies?

SultanOfSwing

I don't need a degree for that

Actually, since we're already off topic by a country mile, my employer will pay for me to get work related degrees, so if I wanted a degree in horticulture, or accounting or even work towards an MBA, I could do it and not have to pay a thing

Not sure if I want to get a degree in accounting though. Estimating and construction related stuff could bode well for the future.

Sally Redux

That's a good idea.

Well they got rid of the chat room

10/12. I messed up Prime Minister of Israel and Chair of the federal reserve.
I have a Bachelors degree but i don't see how that defines my ability or willingness to keep up with current affairs.

Sometimes it can be best to ignore the news.

I got 10 right.

I missed what the government spends the most money on, and the unemployment rate, but I don't follow much US news these days and just guessed as I had no clue for those 2.

No college, don't really watch the news either, and no clue how I knew some of the answers. I expected to do worse then I did.
