How far did you climb up the school and higher education ladder?
7th rung.
GCE Advanced Level?Originally Posted by jon1959
I’m still on it, you learn something in life every day
GCEs were after my time.
I did get an S Level once, and a fork-lift truck proficiency certificate!
Incidentally, have you just put Anglia East into your profile as your location, or has it been there a while? That would make at least two prolific posters on this board with similar far right arrogant personas coming from the same place.
Maybe revealing or just teasing? I'm asking for a friend.
2:2 in Law from at best a mid table championship university 😂
You go first.How far did you climb up the school and higher education ladder?
H & S wouldn’t allow it, one person on a ladder at a time
Bronze life saving medal
100 metres swimming
PhD Educational Psychology from Birmingham University
Doctorate in Education from Keel
Perm 3 from 4
Says nothing about me as a person or as a follower of the City
Just saying
AFTER your time? Shirley not!!!
I suppose 'far right' depends on wher you are standing.
I had a mate many years ago who was asked what eh thought of "this woman Thatcher." He said "She's a left wing bitch!"
The general as you might expect was obviously surprised and asked my mate where he stood politically. The reply was, "Six paces to the right of Attilla the Hun!"
now I have no idea what Attilla's personal politics were but it seemed to have the desired affect at the time!!!!
I would say practical skills and experience are as important. When we were first married and totally skint I did my own plumbing, carpentry and had a go and bricklaying, wallpapering and some electrical stuff. Nowadays regs stop you doing some stuff.How far did you climb up the school and higher education ladder?
I'm now retired and spend time helping with grandkids and doing housework, shopping and voluntary work as a Parish Councillor.
Yes well educated but they didn't teach me how to make a kids picnic table out of scrap timber which is a lot more use than Quantum mechanics.
7 GCE O Levels (when they were still hard )
3 GCE A Levels (ditto)
And a desmond in Computeer science, in 1977
-when computers were housed in "air-conditioned ballrooms"

Oh yeah. I misread that.AFTER your time? Shirley not!!!
9 O Levels, 3 A Levels, 1 S Level, a degree (2:1), a post-graduate diploma and a fork-lift truck cert!
Was the fork lift truck cetificate the icing on the cake? I gained 4 gcse's (The only 4 that i could take as they were compulsory subjects) and a City and Guilds certificate in plastering-Fibrois Plastering.Oh yeah. I misread that.

2:1 in law with German law, redbrick. And then a handful of professional qualifications that have no real relevance but cost a fortune to maintain.
Original Redbrick or extended definition Redbrick?
Had no desire to go to University and probably wouldn't have made it if I did, because I didn't have the self discipline to handle all of the free time you got in the sixth form and was always on the mitch. My A levels were a bit of a disaster as I opted for Chemistry and Biology only to discover when I was really struggling with the latter that the Headmaster had read out the wrong O level grade for me on the day we got our results = I was told I'd passed my O level Biology with the second highest grade possible, when the truth was I'd just scraped through it. I packed in Biology and the only teacher who would take me on some six months into the course was the one who had taught me English for two or three years prior to O levels.
Having lost interest in Chemistry, I barely revised for it and so failed miserably, but I got through English to end up with an A level to go with my 10 I think it is O levels - my brother has a degree, three A levels and something like nine O levels and yet I always say that my sister, with her four O levels, has more common sense than the pair of us combined!
I still have regular dreams (not good ones) about my looming a levels that I haven't prepared for.
I got off the ladder half way through 'A' levels when I realised I would fail them. Since then I got an OND in Marine Engineering, a BEng in Mechanical Engineering and an MSc in Computer Science
4 O levels & 1 CSE
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has that nightmare. I regularly wake up panicking that i haven't revised for either my finals, or my accountancy exams. 30 years since I last sat an exam but the fear is still there.
Since you can't spell Keele I'm going for the first three
First class social science degree at Cardiff
Masters with distinction in computing at Cardiff
Starting a PhD history in October, also at Cardiff. And I can't wait.
