HWD, out of interest, can you do a master's degree without first having a batchellor's degree?
A bit OT but...yes indeedy! I didn't realise for some time, but there are alot of accademic opportunities for those without degrees but with considerable experience in the subject matter. I have about 15 years IT experience so am eligible for a veritible myriad of computing related postgraduate courses
This is the easiest route for somebody like me to attain a degree. Many may ask why, but they are still asked for (regardless of experience) and can be very handy if trying to attain enough points to emmigrate. Basically, to have a degree is always better than to not.
