Do you display your qualifications ?

[ponder]

It's nice to every now and then sit back, put my feet on the desk and say "yes, that's mine".

Yeah but every other tom, dick & harry also has one. I don't really see the point of framing & displaying all your qualifications.

 

[Azbubu]

No. My mom used to put all my academic achievements on display in the house.

Academic achievements? Don't you sell insurance?

 

[Pooky]

When I finish my degree at the end of the year I don't think I will feel as if I have achieved much.

Every tom, dick and harry has a university qualification?

No, I don't think so.

When I go to a doctor, I expect to see a few certificates on the wall.

There's one on your wall too, because you're certifiably insane.

yes I hang mine up.

 

[ChocolateBadger]

No. It looks pretentious. I have a job and do it. Got nothing to prove.

I'm f***ing over-qualified.

 

[Azbubu]

I'm f***ing over-qualified.

Passing Grade 7 already makes someone over-qualified to sell insurance.

Even hippos are doing it.

 

[Ninja'd]

I know, right.

 

[Rouxenator]

Don't really know where my degree paper is at... But I feel it is sufficient to just have my qualifications listed on LinkedIn.

Where I am running into a space issue is race medals. Most events I do gives medals if you finish in time and I just tied them to the banister on the stairway at home. After 3 years I am running out of space so I am not sure if I should start recycling them or what to do with the lot.

All of mine are in a box at home, i have also scanned them so i can email them out on request.
They are also available on linkedin.

I have recently got a qualification that I seriously considered displaying, but then it would just be at home, and i figured whats the points anyways.

I also loathe anyone who fills their signature on emails with their qualifications. IT folk are notorious for this

What's the deal with people who also show where they got the qualification from?

 

[blunomore]

You used to be Noddy ?

Thats pretty epic... why would you change ?

ALways tought you were a dude.Congrats! Im sure you have found something that pays better or enjoy more than you got out of law, otherwise eish.

Yip. Law does not pay - too much hard work for too little money; much better to go into business.

 

[Tacet]

I don't display mine, can't see the point.

Short story - after varsity I took my qualifications to the police to verify copies. The inspector who did the stamping was awed by my matric results (which were fair, not great), but couldn't care less about the BEng and MEng degrees that were in the same pile. So if you want to impress people, take not of your audience's background!

Law pays very well, you're just in the wrong line of law if you are complaining.

Unless you're a conveyancing attorney.

Maybe we have different ideas. Trust me, it is too much work considering other avenues that are open to us.

Unless you're a conveyancing attorney.

My husband is a partner in a law firm that does conveyancing and yes, it pays.
