How long after uni did you start contracting?

15 years for me. if it was my money i'd want a ba with stacks of business experience. straight out of uni is good for enthusiasm but not so great for providing business process answers.

I suspect that is more to do with the fact that 21 year old BAs are generally pretty clueless, but that doesn't stop EDS et al, hiring them out at £1.5K+ per day.

I got my O levels, then got a job programming, then went contract 11 years later, been contracting for about 13 years.

Might get round to going to college one day.

I'm not thick, innumerate, illiterate or directionless enough to qualify for polyversity.

which year did you graduate? I still remember the predicate logic course: "if all dragsons are green and there is a dragon......"

Never went to Uni, did O levels, messed about for a bit, ended up in IT by accident. It was the only thing I could do reasonably well that I didn't have to try too hard at.
