I have a Bachelors (with honours 8)) but, to be honest, it doesn't begin to kick in until you've at least 3-4 years experience. THEN it all becomes relevant.

In Atlanta at the moment (more training) and it's +35C degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Absolutely perfect.... 8)

Batchelor of Engineering (with Honours) at your service dudes! :lol:

I've got a 2:1 in Mechanical Engineering.

Unfortunately manufacturing in the UK is soooo badly shagged that you don't need to be qualified to succeed, you just need to not give a f*ck. I know several peolpe who are less qualified and considerably less capable than me who are getting paid 3 or 4 times what I earn, just because they make a lot of noise and shrug their shoulders when it all goes tits up. If you care about your job you're doomed! It's true folks, I'm doing training and a little bit of consultancy now and everywhere I go it's the blind leading the idiotic and incompetent. The lunatics really are running the asylum.

:cry: :cry:
