No, unfortunately I am not.

I have given her my old RPN calculator so she can learn about RPN.

For once I have to agree with OG. Number systems are taught in secondary school, they no longer teach arithmetic in number bases but that is a special technique handled by decent calculators anyway.

Students should NOT go to Uni for vocational training, employers should not expect graduates from an academia to come with vocational experience.

Btw, aren't medical degrees somewhat longer in duration than the others?

You are lying.

Don't waste your money on tuition fees. Everything you could possibly need can be found at the local bookshop....

UK universities ranked by subject area: Computer Science & Information Systems

If group by "Satisfied with course" in the table above then the top 1 is St. Andrews.
And "Career after 6 months" is N/A. Princes do not work?
