Education on CV

Having the degree is important for sure, shows you have aptitude for study and cheap living.

A friend of mine joked a few years ago that students have higher living standards and more money than when they graduate.

Once they graduate they have to either support themselves completely and pay back their debt, or they are living with their parents with less money.

Don't forget to list your swimming certificates, and any badges you got in the cubs and scouts.

It wouldn't surprise me. Especially the massive debts the young ones are now taking on. Was fortuitous to have grants throughout my undergraduate course.

Were I starting over I'd certainly consider er staying in Scotland of course or somewhere on the continent. Might not be an option in the future mind.

I don't bother with my education.

Quite right, I didn't bother with mine much either...

If there is 2 candidates with the same experience, they will choose the one with higher education.

Why would they?

You are presuming the management themselves are highly educated.

I'd rather take the contractor with 15+ years of relevant experience and no degree than the 2:1 grad with 3 years under their belt.

Perm's a different beast entirely because you need to fit in.

I'd take a member of the most unfairly discriminated group just to balance it up a little... so only single, white, English, straight, fully able, tax paying males with a mortgage need apply.

You were so close too.
