I worked for 25 years in telecommunications and computing without a degree (I did get a Full C&G Certificate in Telecommunications early on).
Then I got bored travelling back and forth on the train so I did an OU MSc! Now that IS hard when you haven't got a BSc, and you haven't
studied for decades!
rgds,
David

I took the video to bits yesterday.
They don't do a Haynes' manual for them so I can't put it back together. Anybody got a good link for a cheap vcr. It seemed like a
good idea at the time.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

This discussion reminds me of an old joke from Sanford and Son (US version of a Brit TV show):
Son (quitting the family junk business): I'm going down to the state employment office. I want a job where I can use my head AND my hands.
Father: Go on down there! They'll put a CAP on your head and a BROOM in your hands!

Seems like yesterday, but what doesn't?
That was it! Over 30 years in fact. The US version had a black cast and was set in a ghetto district of Los Angeles. Redd Foxx was brilliant as the
father, and the show still runs today.

Have a degree and MSc, but I'm very happy up to my armpits (and sometimes waist) in engine! Looking forward to learning to weld for my locost
project. And improve my soldering!
Anyone know of a good place to learn to weld in the south? I know Alton college do a 6month course but that starts at the end of this year and I
don't want to wait that long!
I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and ev'ry highway.
But more, much more than this,
I did it side-ah-ways.

Don't know where you are in Hampshire but I go/went to Brooklands college.
Absolutely brilliant place and great instructors too.
I'll probably be back next term- want to learn Ali TIG welding and maybe arc too.
