Good grief I ask for some input and get a tirade about the army!!! shocked

Also Geoff with the utmost respect, I am a nurse with a degree, and I dont feel that I am that useless - I hope not anyway. I do not feel that my degree represents all of my effort, time and experience as a professional.There are many people with qualifications who took nurse training later in life and do in fact have something to offer besides a piece of paper. Being embroiled in academia and not seeing the real picture is something I do not support; it should be a mix of learnt skills plus hard work & experience. There are some ineffective nurses just as there are some poor engineers, and generalising is insulting.

There had my wee rant!

Now I am digressing -back to question I posed- please?
