11 GCSEs, didn’t get on with 6th form so did a GNVQ at local council instead. Went to uni at 27, got PGCE after and just finishing my Masters age 39.
Definitely something to be said for getting a higher education a bit later on in life I think

Why snigger about left after A levels 
I know someone who’s doing just that. Got himself fixed up with a good apprenticeship, no laughing required.
Also contemplating hiring someone in this position. Going to uni and leaving with mssses of debt isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.
Your post is a very modern take anyway. No option for what I did. |

I have two degrees.
I want to go do my PGCE but to teach adults. Just not sure if there is much scope for tutors of my discipline because learners use the vocational route. Hoping to find out more tomorrow at the Uni open day.
Not bad a little girl who struggled at school and left with low grade GCSE's.
Since discovered I am dyslexic. Nothing should ever be a barrier. |

The sniggering is about A levels as a euphemism for anal sex. |

What does CSE mean?
I went back to college when I was 29 to study my dream career of Carpentry. Passed all 3 level including advanced carpentry with two merits a distinction and of course the 3 dipolmas with City and Guilds.
I went to University 3 years afterwards to study for 3 years in an undergrate course, HND Construction and the Built Environment. Which essienially is Construction Management. I passed with a Merit.
Went on to work short time as a trainee in a large and popular construction company. When that particular contract finished, I applied for 100 jobs. Was only offered 3 interviews.
Two rejections for not enough practical experience (most companies want between 3-5 yrs practical experience as well as relevant qualifications). I only had 1 years worth but full qualifications. Ah well.
I have been offered a role with a different well known company but at a lower level to what I'm qualified in. I accepted because at least I've got my foot in the door.
It's been a long frustrating journey but at least now I'm being taken seriously. |

I played rugby, in the final years of playing I studied at night eventually getting a diploma. Then moved on to do a law degree. After graduating I had to do a pupillage for two years in London to qualify as a barrister. Now I work for myself and absolutely love what I do. It was hard studying part time while holding down a job but it was absolutely worth it X i think if you get the opportunity everybody should try and have a career that they enjoy otherwise life is just too short |

Certificate of Secondary Education. You did that if you couldn't do O levels. It's the equivalent of the lower paper GCSE |

I will never finish learning.
I have 2 degrees, graduated my second last year with the O.U., currently studying an 'A' level, because I like learning.
We are always learning, they don't have to be formal qualifications. I also do a lot of research into subjects that interest me. |

I never let my schooling interfere with my education.
I've learned much more and much better since I took control of things myself and started reading 2 books per week.
Traditional school/university teaches everybody to think the same. |

"I never let my schooling interfere with my education.

I've learnt a lot more since i had the oppportunity for autonomy in my life and knew what would and would not benefit me directly and in the short to medium term.
I have zero interest in learning for the sake of it, although i don't resent other people wanting to do so. I'm comfortable to know nothing about certain subjects. |

none of the above...
...I always think people ask these kinds of questions as a polite way if asking how much you earn as a way of judging whether you're worthy of their time and company... |

I learn for developmental reasons within my interests.
The more you read across subjects the more they tie together. |

Not really...you can sound out after 5 mins if someone is smart and often the boring people are the ones who are "well educated". |

It's an issue of dynamic prioritisation for me  |

"Just wondering ... What does it matter on this site? "
Some people like to have a connection with the people they meet. Having things in common can help with that. |

11 GCSEs (I think!)
3 A-Levels
BA (Hons) degree with QTS
Used to teach for a fair few years, but like many here and nationally, have left the profession to try my hand at something new. |
