Contracting in Switzerland....

[expat]

You haven't needed a degree for a work-permit if you are an EU citizen, since May 2002, IIRC.

I don't know when the latin was dropped. But you probably still need the latin for the judgin.

In the 60s in Scotland. I slipped in to Uni just after it, though actually I do have Higher Latin. I also worked in CH without having to prove a degree, though actually I did get one of those by some accident.

Sensible all round: the degree is no more relevant to IT in Switzerland than the Latin is to the maths degree.

I recall that years ago Latin was required in order to go to University.

Things have gone downhill, Alfred.

I did study Latin as Glasgow Universtity required an O Level in Latin even for the Sciences and Medicene.

In the end I truned out to be a it of a rebel and eschewed Academia and then ived a somewhat nomadic existence .

Wow - you have a Higher in Latin Expat - that is impressive in my book.

Well Done.

My (state) school was Hamilton Academy, where the rector was Macnaughton, who literally wrote the book on Latin for Scottish schools, so Latin was rather encouraged there.....
