A levels being equivalent of the first two years of college in the us and usually done before a student in the uk turns 18 if they stay past 16. I went & did an apprenticeship to become and electrician and did a few Btechs as well. B techs being equivalent to the first two years of US college. I've various qualifications in various things such as welding and plumbing and can work at almost anything.

I started going to college when I was about 35. It was at night and after working all day.
Since I hadn't been to school in so many years, I was pretty rusty with my math skills so I had to take 2 semesters of math and hated it!

I wanted to be a social worker if I had finished.

Yes and it was English.

Advisor Smith · Accepted Answer

Yes. I did my undergraduate degree in economics, then later completed an MBA at Harvard.

Studying economics gave me a strong foundation in analytical thinking, data, and how systems work—very useful for both business and career coaching. The MBA then broadened that into leadership, strategy, and organizational behavior.

In practice, the specific major matters less than the skills you build: critical thinking, communication, and the ability to learn fast. If you share your interests, I can suggest majors and paths that align with your goals.

Vocational college.
All aspects were/are equal:
- Technological applications in various materials
- Structural and ship related mathematics
- Technical drawing/s
- Practical production skills
- Accounting, book keeping analysis and financial control systems
- Business-law, labour law and ship related laws
- Educational science focussed on training adolescents
...
ending up as "Meister" - which equals 'Bachelor' of something.
...
only to find out that a boss and customers who studied at
Youtube University
know everything better than I do 😁

BS was Graphic Design and Communications (with a Photography minor) then an MBA, major in Methods and Procedures, double minor in HR and Stats- then Certified as a Massage Therapist for the last 30+ years. Typical career path, right? ;-)

It is amazing at how much transfers over from area to area, though. I still use Graphics Communications in many ways - newsletters, handouts for others, photography, and of course I handle all the books for my business and wife's business, as well as the family finances.

LiamJHayden · Answer

I went one year. Was studying business management but by the end of the freshman year my company was already making more for me than I could have made working for someone else even with the degree, and it has gotten much, much better since. Being your own boss is challenging by far more rewarding when it works out.

No, I'm a career salesman, although most of the good sales jobs are long gone today. About the only sales jobs left are the two worst ones: new cars or real estate.
