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.
