margun Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Doing my studies later, started first degree part time at 28, definitely enhanced how much I learnt but if I'm honest I regret not doing it all full time and at a younger age. I consider myself relatively well balanced between practical and theoretical without being particularly academic. I don't maintain a list recording all instances but know I've said some pretty stupid things in my time at work... We're on a similar path Raja - electronic engineering for me but also a naff institution (Greenwich), and still very mathematical. Remember state-space modelling? :blink: There should be no underestimation of the rigour of a part time degree alongside work, especially trying to balance a home life/woman. I think everyone has the ability to be incredibly stupid at something.... The more you learn, the more you realise you're actually thick. If only I'd listened when they told me that at school Edited January 31, 2012 by margun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think everyone has the ability to be incredibly stupid at something.... but its more entertaining when someone clever does it. Many politicians being a prime example. Not that they're all that clever in the first place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 The more you learn, the more you realise you're actually thick. If only I'd listened when they told me that at school I'm with you on that Mark. I was full of confidence when I knew chuff all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSPUK Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I realise how little I know when I watch University Challenge - last week Me and mrs's answered two questions each - Now the captain of Manchester (Who won with over 300) is a right smarmy smart **** and I wished I could have punched his light's out but he certainly (as did rest of team) knew his stuff for a 20 yr old.
