Fair enough, but unskilled?
You appear to have confused me with someone who failed their exams.
Not someone who is studying A-levels in solid subjects.

OK then. What work skills have you learnt, or are due to learn in school?
And how are A-levels useful as professional qualifications?

Subjects that are useful in highly paid jobs and that are studied by fewer people than average.
Maths, Physics, etc.

Completely depends on what career you are looking for/degree you want to study.
You are talking in definites about something you know little about. STOP IT.

I wasn't here then, I was not enlightened.

On the dayshift every post was "you're shit", "you're dull" or someone slagging off someone else behind their back.
Vendettas all over the place, folk running off to the mods to get other folk banned, internet rumours, allsorts - happy days.

I'm still waiting to be enlightened about how academic qualifications can be directly relevant in a professional context.

So are you suggesting
That the majority of British employers do not value qualifications?
Are you saying that a candidate that misbehaved throughout school,who has no qualifications and quite possibly has a criminal record, can be considered equally as good a candidate as an Oxbridge graduate with a first class degree, for your run of the mill "higher than average" paid job?

You come across as a Richard Dawkins/Joey Deacon hybrid.

If both have little relevant or verifiable work history (which is often the case with graduates) or professional qualifications, neither have much chance of getting anywhere.
And most employers will try and form their own impression of you and just take your CV as a guideline. If there is no evidence you can do the job, a first-class Oxbridge degree will mean precisely fuck-all.

Also, there's no hurry to answer my earlier question about your work skills. Take your time.

45 minutes now! This must be quite some list you're putting together.
