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.

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.

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.

Nothing has changed since then apart from more and more companies deciding that because a job requires 1 brain cell a degree is a requirement when years ago that job would have been (equally capably if not more capably) by a 16 year old with Grade 2 CSE english and Maths.
