    Not too long ago every tom/dick/harry (sorry to any tom, dicks or harrys reading this) seemed to be going to college - how things will change/how useless it all seems now!

    So just out of interest, let's see who qualified the people in AH are..*
    Anyway, I'll start..

    It stands for Esquire.

    I'm open to correction to this but I think it was a title given to slaves after they were freed.

    EDIT Wiki link below. ;)

    Nah, not really starflake. The letters after my name are about as useful to me as zero letters after my name. I'm qualified in **** all...

    It's so true - recession means quals don't particularly signify ****. And also, with the abolition of fees 13 years ago, degrees are 10 a penny and do not impress employers.
