Just curious how he's thinking. Right now he's telling me only the best should pass in uni and everyone else should fail over and over until they become one of the best or give up. Companies only want the very best after all.


...

<--- Average GCSE grades, poopy A levels and AS levels (didn't really try in the end, was very bored of school), and then went to college to get HND in IT

Not at all 'best' and still managed to get hired by 2 companies and still with one now at an inspector/surveyor level lol.

So nope, companies defos don't hire 'the best' in terms of grades. If you can still do your job good, that's all they'd want/care about, not if ya got a PHD in Antelope Anatomy.


Also hai. :3

Since there is no Seren god chisel atm, but they said they were going to add them later - does building Seren statues now contribute towards the 4th months needed? ;o
Not sure.. but I suppose its still worth doing anyway :P

um..


In fairness he might be from America. I had an American friend say pretty much the exact same thing to me (albeit in a less blunt, kinder way) when I told him that I got 90% in my A-levels - as apparently over there 90% in an exam is like unheard of. They don't work on the principle of UMS being standardized based on how other people perform, what you get in a test is your final grade.

Or he might be a medic/dentist ignorant to how other degrees work (as in 90% is actually achievable albeit to a very, very select few). As I admit I accused my friend's Law course of being too easy when he said he got 85% in an exam until he explained that that is achievable on his course. :P

Some people need to tell themselves that nonsense to feel better about their lack of commitment towards their education.


The same people who say stuff like 'Today's exams prove nothing about intelligence. They just show you're capable of regurgitating facts. I'm way more intelligent than all those idiots who got top marks.'
