Me neither.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostChurchill doesn't have a degree.
HND Computer Science, only 5 months out of work/on bench in 25 years, no issues here.
As was always said, mainly by HND students, its the degree for intelligent people squeezed into 2 years.
Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

Would you trade your monies and hard won ltd companies to be young again?
I mean, sure, you've all got cushy high paid desk jobs faffing about with computers but at the end of the day someone is still yanking your chain - clients, customers, stupid PM's, idiot developers.
Imagine having again the energy, the arrogance, the opportunity of youth. And the babes.
Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.Comment

No higher education at all here. Education was only ever an issue when I started in IT. I couldn't get a job as a programmer as I didn't have a degree so got a job as a junior computer operator and worked my way up....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
