learning is for life , so I'm told - isn't that just another way of saying , go do something semi-constructive whilst their isn't a job for you to have & when you do get that qualification your possibly gonna be in the same situation you was before but hey! at least you have a qualification! -great isn't it! - and here's the kicker once you get those qualifications and do go for a job we can then turn around and say your over qualified....
oh! I also have a BA Honours degree in Music:

Went on to gain an apprenticeship at Rolls Royce where I gained my city and guilds in engineering. That's about it for me, and I'll be pleased to never see another exam paper again. I honestly don't know how these accademic learned folks do it.

They drank it all themselves.

Peregrinations
Eddingtons: 80 (Metric); 60 (Imperial)
did Geography, Biology and Photography at A level - passed photogrpahy, took the mick with the other 2 because I'd got my place at Poly guaranteed already.
it all seemed so important at the time but hasn't really served much use other than getting me moved to Manchester for a year of drinking myself stupid at the taxpayers expense (aka studying Photography at the polytechnic).
Maths: A
History: A
Economics: A
I did scrape a D in biology which together with a B in general studies (wt :shock: ) got me on to a biology degree course.
Pulled my socks up after the A-level debacle.
likewise. I've studied for the equivalent of 2 and a half of my sisters degrees since getting a job and had near 10 years of annual exams and courses to get up my own little ladder.
NB. Passed most of mine a long time ago, longer than i care to consider in comfort!
I'm very close to somone who's been setting exams for a long time, and she's adamant that teaching is getting better and better every year, rather than the exams getting easier.

You know, I'd like to think so too, my daughter has just done better than i did, so proud, (where is that vomiting emoticon?)
teachers are getting better and better at getting their pupils to achive good grades at A level...
Fair comment, but if you subscribe to the, "get your ticket" system we seem to live in.
You're graded on your ability to do so.
Different A levels are different tasks (maths, writing, etc etc).
Ultimately, that's a more useful skill - being able to complete a task you're set.
After all, that's what most work is about.
were we in the same class :?:
A-Level 1990: 3 As & 1 B (the B was only because I was ill)
S-Level 1990: 1 Grade 2 (merit). (S-levels were really only for people trying to get into Oxbridge, which I failed to do)
Unfortunately, finding schoolwork really easy left me which absolutely no work ethic, which isn't helpful at all.
AO Levels x 2 (can't remember what)
A Levels 1989 (French B, Economics & Politics B, Maths D, General Studies C)
