Degree ? Waste Of Time

No there's no problem going to Uni, just be careful before you pick up the soldering iron.

Why oh fat furry arsed one?

Now, you've set me laughing as well.

Doh, I see a future of "Big Brother" being thought high brow.

Call me arrogant, but I am being matter-of-fact. I'll wager I'm one of the top paid developers on this board, and one of the best. I don't have a degree. I'm not against degrees; if you want one, go for it, but you certainly don't need one. However, I will say that I did have a giggle when at one company they took on two grads, one with a PhD. On the first week they asked if the could be sent on a SQL course. FFS. a) they came out of software engineering degrees without even rudimentary SQL, b) they didn't have the whereabouts to use the biggest resource of all: the net.

Nah mate, I won't call you arrogant, merely incorrect.
