Right, OK.

Dunno if it's the same as in the UK, but here in the US, the piece of paper itself is sometimes more important than what you studied. For instance, I could have a degree in animal husbandry, but if my experience was in computers, then as far as an employer is concerned, I meet the job requirement of "computer knowledge with a degree". Hence my desire to make a distinction.

My complaint is that the technology sector is changing so rapidly, it's hard for any college to offer a curriculum that meets current industry needs. Examples of classes I took in college were Pascal, Fortran, Cobol, and Z-80 assembler. I did compiling in CP/M and worked on a real-live mainframe with dumb terminals and a lineprinter for printing out my code. Haven't used any of that information since entering the job market. C? What's that? Ethernet? TCP/IP? Never heard of them.
