I went to the school of hard knocks. I graduated top of my class for aggressive knocking specialising in wooden doors. I went on for a masters in PVC door knocking, it's just the way the market went you had to adapt to the new doors around today.

Really? Me too!!

I'm one of those people who has a love of learning and a number of degrees to my name, started with computer science and mathematics, then business and finance, and I'm currently doing a degree course in social care. I think the more pragmatic approach would be to learn enough to be useful, and progressing to a masters or phd level would've been more than I had actually needed because my objective was always more from a personal development perspective rather than a career development perspective.

Basically if I liked the idea of something, I knew what I had to do to make the most of the opportunity and that usually involved upskilling or educating myself in that field, and that meant going back to university or college or a private course. I consider the money spent on my education a long term investment, so I would say I certainly take a more pragmatic view to education than someone who progresses to a masters or phd level and then doesn't utilize their education to exploit their full potential.

So you're a nerd then?

I take the point. Because our perspectives seem to differ, so will our definition of pragmatic! That's life :-)

It's impossible to saying you go to Trinity these days without getting stick about it, even when you make it sound inconspicuously like a fairground ride.
