Lucy - BSc(Hons), MSc - Software Engineer I'm not sure that a degree necessarily makes that much difference at first, but I think it makes more of a difference in the long term. I also think that doing a degree gives you good basic background knowledge and useful contacts for the future - of course there are otherways to get these things too! -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
