I have 4 university-level qualifications, two of which are degrees, but the only qualification I hold which is even remotely related to 40 year old rusty old VWs is a driving licence.
Got 8 'O' levels but crashed and burned in sixth form, drinking Pernod and going to rock concerts, getting only 1 'A' level. Did a number of work related courses but nothing recognised in the academic world.
Did sod all at school, left with a couple of CSEs, enough to get me into the navy. Then qualified as a diver followed by the EODs, spent the next four years blowing all sorts up Im my late 30s I did an access course and then a MPhys in Liverpool uni, after that I went to Bangor uni and did a BSc in computer science. After that I did a years PGCE but didn't pursue teaching as I thought it most likely I'd kill some little Marmite!
Can't see polls in tapa but got a social work degree and a diploma in child psychology. The joys........
