Being nosey.

I know there are a plethora of questions asking:

"Where are you from?"

"What do you look like?"

blah blah blah

My question,

What are you educational qualifications, and grades if you allow me to ask?

This is not a competition, as perhaps the most intelligent person I know is an academic failure, so there.

Hi Leelapops, working in a pub really suited me actually. I liked the social aspects of it and it was actually quite testing. I went to work for a smallish company in Oxford and became a licensee at a very young age, I was the youngest in Oxford. Which then put me in good standing to move on to a huge company where I worked as a deputy manager on an opening team and delivered lots of training. I then had my children and decided I didnt want to work nights so I went to work for Starbucks. Which I actually loved too.

Although the money wasnt bad, I always wish I had done something different. I picked Alevels in the subjects that I found really easy not the ones that would lead me vocationally to a job I would love to do. So I have no choice as a single mum at the age of 28. Retraining in something would make me very poor for many years so I have to go back to work and do something similar.

According to IQ tests I have a low IQ - one time I was registering around imbecile level.

3 O Levels passed and 5 failed and 1 CSE ungraded!
2 A Levels D pass if you can call D a pass
1 Certificate Professional Qualification
1 Masters Professional Qualification
Currently doing a Post Grad Certificate with OU - or would be if I wasn't avoiding writing my assignment by wasting time on here.

[Goodsoulette]

Well it just goes to show then doesn't it, Ruby? TEsting at schools just doesnt work in showing some pupils true ability. I also score very lowly on Iq tests, I do okay with the wordy questions but anything with a problem in it literally hurts my head. I sit there trying to work it out on my fingers and those who is the tallest question absolutely kills my brain cells off.

[ruby27]

Do Brownie/ Girl Guide badges count as well - I was still at school when I got the hostess? badge. Not bad going given my mother was the person who was the examiner.

[diane1706]

don't worry Pippa I've got the floristry as well. Anyone can get history or whatever but do they know how to condition a rose (for example)
