I don't knock anyone who went to Uni, education and knowledge is a fantastic thing, we just learn different things in different ways and we have all done stupid things, things that we learn from and things that we look back on and laugh,

Good luck to us all

As with others it wasn't seen as realistic when I was 18. I went to actual unviversity in my 30s, where doesn't matter.

For this site my time at the University of Sex in Amsterdam is the key and I took my Masters, one of my verifications says I'm an MSx, in rural Oxfordshire.

I planned to but I lost interest in my chosen career path. Short version as its kind of ironic

a little, or funny, or something.

Saturday job from 14 working for a friend of my dad's in my chosen career. Local College at 16 as A level application was a mess, got told I couldn't do my chosen subjects so applied really late and got lucky with college, 3 weeks into college got a call from the school asking where I was as I hadn't turned up for A levels.

Realised through my 2 years in my Saturday/holidays and now part time job the college course would teach me nothing and not in an arrogant way, just had been trained by good people and I was doing equivalent beyond that of a full graduate in my field before I was 16. They paid me well for the 3 days by then i worked there to be fair too.

5 months in, I was bored and couldn't stomach another year and a half of sitting their bored in college and then 3 years or so of uni bored again so dropped out became disillusioned and bounced around retail jobs for 2 years.

Joined the prison service and spent about 12 years in that give or take a few months

Worked the wings etc for 8-9 years and did a side step within the service at the 10 year mark and found myself approaching my old field within that and enjoyed it.

Lied on my CV to say I was qualified in my original field whilst self teaching myself/catching up.

Got a job in it. Learned by doing for 2 years and Google haha whilst I did some home learning to get the certs, then set up on my own about 18 months ago

Unless your chosen career is degree dependent. Otherwise agree with many on here, uni etc doesn't mean much in terms of character etc some of the most deeply objectionable people I have ever met were at Oxford, want to know why Johnson et al behave in the way they do? See the Bullingdon in action.

You’re right there. OK I did go to university, but that is just “learning” and then it was free. Really education is a lifelong experience and doesn’t depend on qualifications. I’ve probably learned more on this website than I have in most university classes.

We seem to worship the anti-education heroes of Love Island, Big Brother and petty criminals or big titted air heads.

Do you think this is linked to different models of higher-education access? I have, for instance, several friends who studied in the Belgian system and they often did this locally, there seem to have been fewer access restrictions, and the education they received was often in large groups and very didactic, not so much the model of supervised private study the UK often has. They also seem to have paid very little themselves toward this out of pocket. I have a French friend who described something similar, though they also have their elite institutions alongside. It seems to have been more like our further education model, but for higher education.

I’m not sure. I guess we have a different view of success. We sneer at culture and expertise and relish sun-culture. But the UK is massively creative and innovative at the same time. We have a society that is very polarised in so many ways.

LSE as a mature student.

But I learned much more in the preceding ten years as a bus conductor with Bradford City Transport.

Half of the workforce were immigrants or refugees.

From everywhere. Algeria fleeing civil war. Eastern Europe fleeing Soviet cruelty. Pakistan fleeing superstition and backwardness. And more …

I admit some of their grandchildren have become unmoored and gravitated to crime or religious extremism. But these men - and women, in the seventies the inherent misogyny of their cultures had lost sway briefly - were the finest people I shall ever meet.

Born in poverty, ravaged by war and strangers in a strange land the turned a shallow boy into a caring man.

I owe a debt of honour.

I didn't, but employ quite a few who did, at least 3 went to Cambridge.

It's not about what exams you passed at 16-18 to get into University. It's about what you aim to achieve and achieve not just for yourself but for society.

Any fool can cling to something they achieved in their youth, what did you do today and what are you going to do tomorrow?
