Ah well mate, a degree doesn't mean as much as it used to if it helps.
Spoken before? Perhaps if i knew your name I would be able to verify that - but thanks for your constructive comments. Should you wish to comment on why I voluntarily left the University i'm happy to discuss it over PM, and not on a public forum - a place where comments about my private life are at best, unwelcome.
If you care to re read my post you'll notice I did not actually comment about the quality of instruction - I summised that judging by the classroom lectures they couldn't really be that great. I accept that it is based on one or two instructors, but I stand by what i experienced - I don't pay over £1,000 in fees a year to read a powerpoint presentation off a board. That money I saved was diverted towards flying with Multiflight, and I can honestly say was money well spent.
As it happens, I'm now happily employed with a charter airline at Manchester Airport - turns out a degree doesn't mean that much after all.
Hope your having fun with your dissertation!
Horgy
