Education doesn't mean sh1t, the country hands out Masters and PhD's to any old Tom, Dick and Harry.

Some of the dumbest people I've met have multiple degrees and post docs

I haven't but then it might be generational. Over half of my graduating class went on to do a Masters. Guess how many went into employment in our area of study

It sure is, when you try and have an educated conversation with someone and they throw their toys out of the pram when they don't get their way and get touchy.

Poll needs a University of Life option.

Cookie_Monster

back in my day they didn't have "levels", it's education, not mario

I've a degree and a professional accounting qualification.

Lou.m

I have a Level 8 uni degree.

There was another thread about leaving cert points a while ago....is this cuz the leaving is on??

Why do people care?

You do it for yourself or for your career etc.

It's only insecure people either boasting about having a degree or boasting about not having one and having a degree in life who go on about this.

Arthur Beesley

The same as the last time this was asked, and the time before, and the time before that...

Dozen Wicked Words

No idea what all the levels are, so, let's say the middle ones.

Corruptedmorals

Level 8, which was eh not very useful. I just finished an unrelated level 5 and landed a full time job (and a previous part-time job in the field). So up yours my level 8 degree

Level 7 is a degree
Level 8 is an honours degree
Level 9 is a masters
Level 10 is a doctorate

zero19

I've got a ****load of Udemy courses to complete from the bargain alerts thread. They must be at least level 9 right?

Tasden

Level 8 but currently doing a level 6 which is more specialised for the job I'm in so hoping it will get me a better job in the future than the level 8.
My goal is to eventually do a masters when I have the finances but don't see it happening any time soon

Legs.Eleven

Level 8 but going back in September to do a level 5 which will get be into a level 9 if all goes well.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

I see your level 8s and raise you life.

I think the dumb ones that have high qualifications stick in your mind more.

Micky Dolenz

A PhD. But please don't call me Doctor. Ok, go on so. If you insist.

Sugar Free

Masters - proving useful to date.

So, what, your official title is Micky Doctor? :pac:

overpronator

I've a PhD and yes, it is the only reason I have my my current job.

sullivlo

PhD which essentially means diddly squat. Essential qualification for the career path I plan to take, and I learned a lot of transferrable skills, however in my current job I would probably benefit from a refresher course in junior cert science, so I don't know which option to choose!

I am also considering doing a masters in clinical sciences to increase my chances in securing approval to design and implement some more clinical studies.

Education is a means to an end. I use it to better myself professionally, but it has absolutely no impact on me (or anyone else) as a person. We're all the same height lying down.

OK, I'll ask, what's level 6 then?:o


So does everyone have to achieve the Junior Cert. You can't leave education without it?

Intelligent and educated are two very different things, so the poll cannot answer both.

I often meet people who are educated above the level of their intelligence.

I finished my PhD before any of these level 6, level 7 etc designations came in to use. I am educated yes. Intelligent? I don't know!

PhD (level 10).

Well I agree with your post on the proviso that every country does that. Not just ours.

I'm a level 53 wizard.

Pherekydes

It's not what level you've got but where you got it that matters.

I did my primary schooling at OLV in the 60s and 70s.

Probably worth a post Doc now. :pac:

Tarzana

Level 9 pending, level 8 achieved so far.
