First V5 and V6 flashes today, and Jedi Mind Tricks and Suspended In Silence both second go. Psyched. I like Bishop.

YYFY!

Managed to get a job as a project manager at the company I work for!
Pretty chuffed to get it as I never went to university and I thought I'd be working on the tools for a long time to come. Should be starting in the next couple of weeks. No more silly early morning starts and long knackering days on site plus the office is in Sheffield so I'll be able to get down the the Foundry and the Works in the evenings and do some proper training :)

YYFY! :)

Nice one Will. Though now you're one of them 'upstairs' does that mean no more rude derogatory and amusing comments from your workmates on your FB updates? ;)

Mate,
I never went to Uni either.
I am a time served Apprentice. (City and Guilds (master craftsman, fitter and turner) and Btec all the way).
Now a bona fide Engineer.
Lots of short courses, lots of part time and distance learning and a year off here and there to study.
It can be done.

Might get around to finishing my second MSc (currently on indefinite hold) one day (distance).

Got more bits of paper than Somerset house these days and a long string of letters after my name (like "who?", "what?", "reward for information leading to" and "do not approach!").

Good luck and never let anyone tell you, you can't do it!

I went to Uni, twice. Took two degrees, one in law and one in political sciences. Then I shoved them up my a*** and started teaching. One of the best choices of my life.
Uni is useless if one hates what he's doing.
Well done Will!!!

I went to uni in Sheffield, unfortunately 1 year in I discovered The Limit club, then the Palais and CJs unsurprisingly I didn't finish my degree. Ended up doing professional qualifications and MBA through work etc etc my only mate who finished his degree works as a call centre grunt. Just did a pb for pull ups today - shame it won't transfer to rock.

Managed to get my thesis in today (finally)... It all felt like a massive anti-climax but its a big relief to get it in, now there's just the small matter of a Viva some time in June.

Indeed YYFY. I think most people experience the handing in as an anti-climax, the viva is more a matter of relief (presuming success of course), the last satisfaction comes a bit later.

Nice one Paul. So many go through the effort of research and never make it to submission.  Congrats

That's all you lot ever seem to be doing when I come in the office! ;)

Cheers everyone, bit nervous about starting as it's a big change, I'm just hoping I don't go to mad being stuck in an office all day. It's definitely the right move though, exciting stuff :)
