    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.

    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.

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

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

    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

    I see your level 8s and raise you life.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
