Sounds like sour grapes to me.

Amazing how someone so "educated" can so easily contradict themselves in such a short space of time.

Here you have a go at Derek and cite

Ridiculous degree of no use?

Obviously making the point that University Degrees are a worthy thing to aim for.

and go on to spout that he probably never went to Uni, spouting drivel about someone you nothing about

Then when it's pointed out to you that Derek did go to Uni, you post

Or that someone's telling "epic" fibs, if you'd earned a degree worth its salt I seriously doubt you'd be serving in your current career field.
No offense meant, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

So you by your own admission agree that that there are "worthless Degrees" or "Degrees of no use"

Please advise what, in your, vast experience what degrees are worth their salt and what degrees aren't. I'm really interested to know.

I'm quite aware of that.

That still leaves 33hrs from a normal working week.

+ extra study hours that I would expect a dedicated person to undertake.

Which in my opinion leaves plenty of time to do course work and seek gainful employment.
