Further Education

Big_Dan_Campbell · August 20, 2021, 2:06pm

I find that in a lot of IT circles that professional qualifications/certification is far more beneficial than an evening diploma/degree/masters

I wouldnt have thought it would make much difference in terms of further education for starting up your own business. As long as you had all the relevant certification from your own professional bodies, that would be more important than having an MBA or PHD or whatever to any prospective clients. If it is needed for your own personal learning and development in the field, then yes, but if it would generally make fuck all difference to your knowledge and work base, then I wouldnt think its a big factor when going about starting out on your own.

aye, more or less what I thought.

In my game, I think it means fuck all tbh, just trying to get insight from others and I know of a few lads going back to the do it.

I’m sure I can find something from our body that will fit the bill, probably cost the same anyway, thieving cunts.

Go to FAS and learn how to lat tiles,you can charge what you want.

Forget tiling, stonework is where it’s at these days.

Massey · August 20, 2021, 4:52pm

Looks good,where’d the stone come from?

Lads in their 40s upskilling, wtf?

4 days a week and an early retirement is the target not upskilling and networking

I haven’t the foggiest. If I see Mr. McG I’ll ask him.

Haven’t yet hit the 5th decade.

Mac · August 20, 2021, 10:12pm

This is the dream. I haven’t made my 40s yet but have the 4 day week sorted. Reducing stress and not increasing it is the target for the next 10 years

Once you’re a Chartered Accountant you don’t need any MBA.

A good friend of Mrs. Fran’s did it about 10 years ago. Opened all sorts of doors for her and she’s working for McKinsey now on farcical money but by god do they get their pound of flesh for it.

Couldn’t think of anything worse

Edit, I can think if a lot of worse things but why would anyone want to slave away for the man

Massey · August 21, 2021, 9:21am

Easing off as you get older should be the plan,not upping your workload.Retiring at 55 is the goal.Slaving away till you die is not a great option.Reminds me of the last 20 seconds of this scene

A PowerPoint merchant

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · August 21, 2021, 9:38am

A good friend of mine that I worked with, retired at 65 and passed away at 66

55 is the perfect age to retire I think.

Once the kids have finished college hopefully

Massey · August 21, 2021, 9:39am

Yeah 55 is the goal.

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · August 21, 2021, 9:39am

In

balbec · August 21, 2021, 9:43am

You’d still tip away though

Massey · August 21, 2021, 9:51am

Only if you wanted to,lads on here still want to be punching in at 70 by the looks of it
