it doesn't matter how many exams ya have, if someone tried to make someone feel inferior for being less educated then he is a dick, vice versa if someone tries to say your stuck up for doing well in school.



No one can make you feel inferior without your permission

Great thread lads, keep the CVs coming - there's something mildy amusing about the amount of boys that will step over such a grammatically incorect title in order to let us know how smart they are. I look forward to the the 'size of the boards penis' and 'how far can the board piss' threads to come.

You will of course have noted the one exception. Reply #3.

B.A. (Hons), M.Sc., and pro-qualification is ATPL (CPL doesn't count)

It's interesting reading some of the comments above re. snobbery.  My two elder brothers are both pretty savvy lads and in no way do I look down upon them even though they might have maybe three CSEs between them.  Educational qualifications are in no way indicative of the character of the person.  One of the most gifted people I ever met was a sparky's labourer who had the most amazing wealth of knowledge about so many different subjects.
