Re: Teaching IT doesn't have enough money
"Sorry, Mr Cowherd, I was told, Your English qualification aren't good enough (I have a D in English Language). Never mind the fact that all of the projects and theses I did at uni have probably pushed my standard of English way above GCSE."
You're right about the project and thesis work improving your English.
Having done the standard Maths/Physics/Chemistry up to A-Level, my own English writing skills took a massive leap forward when I did Anthropology as a side course in my first year at Uni. That taught me how to write essays as opposed to lab experiment write-ups.
Add a collection of English, German and French classics my girlfriend pointed me at, and by the end of my degree course I was far in advance of my O-level English result.
All of which helped considerably when it came to writing business reports once I got into the outside world.
