  1. Realise this is a potentially explosive subject :eek:, but in light of recent would be interesting to know who's done what amongst TLB-ers. So, for the interest of all, press the button for your highest qualification, then let us know what it was in. You can press more than one. Also add any completely useless qualifications.

    I'll start: got a BSc Hons in Electronic Engineering. I also have a genuine "Man From Uncle" membership badge, Cycling Proficiency and 1 mile swimming certificate (got bored). I have in the past belonged to both the Tufty Club and the IEEE.

    Off you go...
     
  2. I have three.

  14. I've got a degree in Theology. It's been absolutely vital in my career as a van restorer so far. Many's the time I've got a blob of red hot weld down my shoe, or a spark in my eye, and I've thought to myself 'I wonder what old Kierkegaard would have to say about the pain I'm in'.

  15. Haha tufty club had forgotten about that, I was in it!
    I got an hnd in building management at Ayr tech, then decided I wouldn't fit into normal life/career so went AWOL for a decade!
    My most useful qualification has to be hgv 1, in a couple of weeks full cpc too.
    Others include IPAF, PASMA, forklift, ........blah blah......

    I did a degree in Maths. Pretty useful in my job as a software developer. The kombi keeps me sane, staring at lines of code all day.
