[Cycling Naturalist]

After my (surprise, surprise) law degree, I did the Law Society finals course and took the exams. I don't know what that counts as.

 

[Andy in Sig]

I've got a BSc in Biology which isn't bad because I didn't do any work but am currently doing a part time MA in linguistics which I will be pleased with if I get it because for that I have done some work.

 

[Trembler49]

Apart from O levels and Highers gained at school, I have no formal qualifications whatsoever.

 

[Chiefwiggum]

Official figures show that 30.8% of the UK population have a degree level or higher level qualification so undoubtedly cyclist are brainer than the general population.

[Dayvo]

I was wondering how to set up a university. Can anyone do it?

Try this, if you've got a few bob!

'The Stanford's.
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston.
Walked timidly without an appointment into the president's outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard.
And probably didn't even deserve to be in Cambridge. She frowned.
"We want to see the president," the man said softly.
"He'll be busy all day," the secretary snapped.
"We'll wait," the lady replied.
For hours, the secretary ignored them.
Hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away.
But they didn't.
The secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president,
even though it was a chore she always regretted to do.
"Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they'll leave," she told him.
The president sighed in exasperation and nodded.
Someone of his importance obviously didn't have the time to spend with them.
But he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office.
The president, stern-faced with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, "We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard.
He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed.
My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus".
The president wasn't touched, he was shocked.
"Madam," he said gruffly, "we can't put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died.
He continued," if we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no,we don't want to erect a statue" ,the lady explained quickly.
"We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard." The president rolled his eyes.
He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, then exclaimed.
"A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical plant at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now.
The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a University? Why don't we just start our own?"
Her husband nodded. The president's face wilted in confusion and bewilderment.

Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California.
Where they established the University that bears their name.
A memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about!'

 

[Dayvo]

BA Hons (2.1) Scandinavian Languages and Literature - only to cut grass at a golf course!

TEFL qualification

Hoping to apply for (and pass) a City & Guilds Cycle Mechanics course, soonish.

My best education, though, has undoubtedly come from travelling/bumming around! A course, in which, I am only halfway through.

 

[Cathryn]

[mondobongo]

I was interviewed by the then Gaming Board of Great Britain in pursuance of my application for a Certificate of Approval to perform the function of a Casino Manager which required a fair bit of study and there was probably less than a thousand people holding one at the time. Other than that its the school of life for me.

 

[AaronM]

Just completed a Diploma in Payroll Management (NVQ level 5)....awaiting the certificate.

Work fully paid for it and it backs up what I actually do so all is good

I have the chance to go on and do a BA honors or MSc but dont think it would be worth while.

You're assuming that everyone that responded actually rides a bike!

 

[Hugo15]

B.Sc (Hons) in Economics

 

[Speicher]

I have London Chamber of Commerce Language Certificates in French and Spanish. The same sort of level as a degree, but with business studies, instead of literature.

For three years I had a job where I was required to use a screwdriver in several foreign languages, including Italian and Portuguese and Russian. The job specification said that maintenance of the satellite system was essential to the work.
