Qualifications?
Continuing my theme of unscientific polls...
Somone in the Salary thread commented that the high incomes reported were probably related to education level. So, what's your personal level of eduction? I'm using the standard(ish) market research groupings here, so don't all should at once that your particular obscure MBA+Rabbit Sexing doctorate isn't in there! :D |
GNVQ from Stockport College.
HND from John Moores both in Construction Management. which is dead handy when moving to a country that has never seen a f**king brick. |
I have just finished my final exams for a BACHELOR OF ARTS degree.
BaTchelor? What qualification(s) does the compiler of the poll list hold? Oops! Maybe that's how it's spelt over there! If so, I apologise profusely. |

You did remind me, though, that I had missed the category for "Master's Degree in Smart Arsery" - a quliafication widly held on these boards! :rolleyes: :D |

Well I hold a Bachelors from Loughborough Uni in Mathematical Computation.
It is the main reason I got where I am even tho it didn't actually teach me very much. |

My husband has an Engineering Degree majoring in Electronics. He works in the telecommunications field. I'm saying what he has got because it was his salary as I was unable to work.
Also what is relevant to this conversation is the length of experience after graduation. My hubby has been working for 15 years now, which in part explains why he does better than someone who might just be graduating. I've a Business degree majoring in Accounting which would have meant good money if I could have ever got my work permit thru. Screw INS. |
I got me just 2 GCSEs in Maths and Computer Studies. Hated school. Didn't go to college or uni. Signed out of school on my 16th birthday and have never looked back. Have been in IT since (15+ years) and have never been unemployed.
So, to me, qualifications had no effect on my life. Cheers, David. |
Re: Qualifications?
I was one of the higher earners in yesterdays poll. and I can totally disprove the education/salary link. I left school at 16 with a few O levels and went of to work with British Telecom. I am now a CIO for a very large bank.

AFAIK this comibined with degree is the reason my VISA went through so easily and is also the reason I am one of the middle paid people in the poll. |

I am now a CIO for a very large bank. such was the case years back. its going to get harder for people to get into well paying jobs without college education. exceptional skills/experience will definitely get you into a job. |
