I don’t have a university degree, but that’s not because I was incapable of getting one.

Like Daphne, I left school with a large number of O-levels, all with good grades. I was in fact one of only two girls out of the 90 or so in my year sitting for all my exams in one session – unlike the rest, who split them up over two sessions per year for two or three years. I was at St Aloysius College sixth form, but was unable to attend university when I left because of circumstances at the time, it being the mid-1980s. I could have chosen to go to university as a mature student, but opted for a different path.

It is not necessarily a university degree which bestows someone with learning or education, or indeed which makes them successful. Then again, people who think along the lines of university degree=the sole proof of success were probably nothing to begin with themselves, and felt they somehow had to prove themselves.

A good university degree is something to be proud of, yes, and rightly so, but then again, it is not the only measure of success; nor is it the only measure of intelligence. Some people don’t understand this. They are probably the least intelligent of all, and often the ones with the biggest chip on their shoulder.

All those degrees and Lou could not get one straight answer from Joseph on Bondi+.
