Show us Your Degree!

[Sir Burr]

Well, thermometers have degrees too and you know where they can be put.

[machangezi]

You just pretty much comfirmed Marmite's comments as true with that post.

He has a habit of that.

He's also conclusive proof that having a degree or two doesn't necessarily mean you're smart.

LOL! Good way to defend yourself me degree less structural tefler engineer.

So when did you complete your structural engineering? KK and the rest seems to have no info!

[Sir Burr]

I don't have a degree. What's so special about them? They don't garuantee you a good job and they certainly don't prove that the holder is more clever than some one that doesn't have one, so what's the big deal?

[slimboyfat]

I don't have a degree and yet i am very clever. and handsome

[Sir Burr]

Yes, we know that, and no sweat issues either.

[stroller]

I combine all these qualities and a wide knowledge on an array of subjects in my humble self, and have a degree to boost.

Where's me medal?

Degrees don't say anything about smartness but you have to be smart to get a degree, twit. Degree is a proof that you are qualified in certain field.

Yet again with this statement you proved that you are a clueless c.unt.

[flash]

Jesus will you people change the record, I'm not seeing many signs of Intelligence from you people who claim to be smart. I'm an idiot and even i can see that these constant trivial arguments are very juvenile.

I've got a degree in International Relations but it doesn't really make much difference to my TEFLing... I can kick all the thick plebian arse that try and talk shit in Issues though !

Yep, now all you got to do is be a bit more serious in your comments.

[slimboyfat]

i have sweat issues but they are manageable.

I dont have a degree but I drank 3 pints of Stella tonight and have not smoked a single cigarette.

[slimboyfat]

I've got a degree in International Relations !

sure you have been to Plymouth but in the words of Shania Twain - that dont impress me much

[Jet Gorgon]

I quit school at 14. Then I took the uni entrance exam when I was 23 and they told me I should apply for international law school. 5555555555555555555

if i had been less clever and handsome i expect i would have taken a degree course.

i am lucky that i dont need a degree. Being very clever and handsome is usually enough to get most jobs - apart from those which require a driving license.

You do have a decent Qualification though.Much better than a degree IMO.

[stroller]

I think you're missing the point I made. I said having a degree doesn't mean you're necessarily smart as proven by Macha.

But it means that he's achieved something you haven't.

[Whiteshiva]

A degree is a guarantee of nothing; but the odds are the candidate will show up most days, on time, and not make too many waves.

My guess is that the people most sceptical of degrees are those who don't have them. Human nature, I guess.....

Interesting.One of NZ's wealthiest men is a bloke called Bob Jones.Made his money in the property market.When his company was going flat out,he would hire people with Science degrees and stay away from Economics,Arts etc.Reason given was that the guys with Science degrees actually wanted to learn something decent and would not be the stereotypical Economics nerds that didn't have half a brain and set in their ways (His words)

It reminds me of Trygve Hegnar (very successful Norwegian businessman and publisher). He stated that he preferred hiring economists rather than journalists to write for his publications - he claimed it was easier to teach an economist how to write well than teaching a journalist about economics. So I guess it works both ways.

BTW,Bob left school at 13.

Ah, but I will bet you that for every successful school dropout there will be hordes of unsuccessful ones.

[Marmite the Dog]

But it means that he's achieved something you haven't.

And? I'm sure there's things I've achieved that he hasn't. Your point is what?

[stroller]

That he has a degree and you haven't!

I personally know three wealthy people.(Meaning that they are prolly worth over USD 15 mill each.)

1)Head of a large multi-national company.Has an ACA. (accountancy degree from NZ)
2)Owner of a small NZ business.Employs 80 people.(Thick at school and dropped out of Uni.)
3)Director of medium sized NZ business.Employs 400 people (never made it to Uni and left school at 15)

All three have the same things in common.Energy,have had good luck and enjoy their work.

[Marmite the Dog]

That he has a degree and you haven't!

I have structural engineering qualifications and he doesn't. He's still as thick as pig shit, and you still don't have a point.

Folks without degrees are usually jealous of folks who do have degrees. Why, I don't really know.

If they wanted a degree, then they could also have gone through the financial pain, stress, fatigue, heartaches, headaches, migraines that the graduates put themselves through.

The fact that they elected not to, is their decision. No use crying over spilt milk, is it?

If you want a degree, then go & earn one!

[Little Chuchok]

^Your wrong.

[watterinja]

^ Nope. I'm a Graduate.
