You are still missing my point Bronco.
I would not advise people to not have qualifications, but they are not the be all and end all.
By virtue of the fact that I and others have got good jobs with few qualifications means that it must be the case at least some of the time.
As you know and I know, there are times when having a licence will guarantee you an interview and a job (not often mind).
And there are times (like now) when 1000's of hours will guarantee you nothing.
It is a variable feast.
And on the subject of spelling Bronco, just after you tore apart some poor soul for his/her spelling, you then went on to spell my name wrong in your next critiscism of me!
Just a small point.
