This sounds familiar. I'm in much the same situation, sometimes its easier to say I'm in IT with certain types as they know better any way. Others will sometimes quite happily sit there and listen to me babble on about what I do.

I work for a commercial construction company.

The truth is very few apprentices are employed these days on our sites.

It would good if one apprentice was employed by every trade on every site. That would be the start of the solution to youth unemployment.

If I go to a BBQ and are asked what I do I normally say "Builder".

Then after getting asked to build's somebody's house I have to explain I am actually a Contract Administrator. Yes I am still a builder, but only do 1/10th of the total job of say a small builder. At this point I go and get another beer.....

In terms of qualifications I have a BBCM (hons) but this not my highest qualification. My 10+ years experience working in my current role is the most important!!!

In terms of Land Rovers I have done a Basic Driver Training Course and a Recovery Course. Still a beginner when it comes to 4wdriving...

Started wrench bending at 14, finished second level, aeronautics, plant operation all levels, professional Diploma 2yrs part time at Uni, Then crash a level 8 4year degree into two years................As well as the school of hard knocks and the university of life...........

I past me driver lisense test not from the seral packet wich wun do i chose?

I suggest you seek some english qualifications before making your final decision but since I don't know what an 'LLB' is and not many people seem to have it, how about just choosing that. :D

Both a Law degree (LLB ) and Medical degree (MBBS) are actually Bachelor degrees, so I wonder why they get their own category?

You are correct, however most bachelor's degrees take 3-4 years. An MBBS is effectively 2 bachelor's degrees. I forget the duration of a typical LLB???

In short, I had 10 spots to fill. ;)

Though given all the complaints, it seems I should have filled them with options like:

x - I have a degree from the school of hard knocks
x - I think anyone with formal qualififcations is a ******

:D

Ah, well, if you want to know how long it took me I'm not telling! :D
