Coleg y Prifysol Abertawe - degree in Welsh History - utterly useless - not used it since the day I finished. Mr Medlock on the other hand is a graduate of the University of Life, having been kicked out of school at 15 as unteachable and has far more survival skills than me! I'm good at pub quizzes, but hopeless at working out odds or darts finishes!

Hiya Wendy, I went to Sheffield uni and studied music, got a 2:1 I loved my time there, Caz xxx

Messy Misa - I kind of agree with you there. I only did mine because I was a single parent living on zilch, and they still had grants (just!) so I thought I may as well learn on zilch so tried to see if I could blag my way into the local uni - and I did!!! Youngest did a 'sensible' degree in Geography & geology, is now working in Planning and will be doing her Masters (paid for by the firm) next year. :o) I tried to get on a graduate teacher course (where you learn 'on the job'), but when I got the forms, they only wanted those of an 'ethnic origin' - whatever that is - I'm Ethnic english, but it doesn't count, apparently - or men!!! Talk abour blatant discrimination!!! maggie

I'll be graduating from De Montfort University in Leicester this July, having spend three years doing a BA Hons in Graphic Design and Photography. In fact, today, we've all been in the pub on the edge of the Grand Union canal because the deadline for putting our work out for assessment was 4pm today. Got some time off now (thank goodness) but have to go in on Thursday so I'm going to be productive and use the time to go to the Leicestershire records office. I'm so into 'work' mode I just don't think I can sit and do nothing for a week.

Uni of Greenwich - BSc (Hons) Nursing:Child (not finished yet so no classification)

Queen Mary College, London. I read History but dropped out in my 2nd year. How does Dee manage to study without having to produce essays - I want a place there! :-))

Left school at 15 and went to work. Went to college at the ripe old age of 38 for 2 years at Hertford Regional College and got my Diploma in Nursery Nursing (NNEB). Did 1 year of an HNC in Early Childhood Studies and dropped it to go to University.Worked full time and did my degree part time. Graduated at the age of 48 (2 years ago) from the University of Luton with a Batchelor of Arts Honours in Educational Studies 2:2. Got C grade GCSE Maths and Science from doing the degree and a GCSE A* in English at college.
