Re: Nice Work if you can get it!
Not got a degree, ah well... (HND instead, skipped college because it was rather boring). Never looked back, I consider the HND to be a waste of 2 years too (although I did make a fortune working at novatech in the shop instead of going to uni).
I do have 7 years C# experience and am MCTS and MCAD qualified in it and SQL Server though (2000, 2005, 2008)
Amazing really, most people I interview have degrees and cock all knowledge of any of the stuff they claim to be masters of.
I'm sure there are some very good lecturers out there but all of the ones I met at university (and my short time at college) were just people who had failed in their chosen profession.... Why would somebody teach C# for 30k when they can earn double that (or quadruple in london) if they really are that good at it?

Re: Nice Work if you can get it!
Because they enjoy teaching? Or they're not led by money? They don't want to work in London? They have families and want relative job security?ddavis wrote:

Lots of people just want a stable job and pressure free life and there is nothing wrong with that.

My knowledge of scientific biological transmogrifications is only outmatched by my zest for kung-fu treachery
