Re: And that degree ...
>HR have become fixated on IT degrees, I continually see "Must have a good degree in Computer >Science".
Weirdly, they seem to have coupled that with never asking for proof of qualifications. I've not been asked in something like 25 years and having moved house a few times I couldn't tell you where my various certificates are anyway.
I was discussing something similar with a friend the other day; not only do we not remember the bulk of the content that we learned >30 years ago, we can't even remember *how many* qualifications we have.
