Why does nobody on Mumsnet ever have one degree?

[BertrandRussell]

It’s either at least 2, possibly 3 and one a Masters probably from Oxbridge, or left school with one GCSE in home economics......

I have just the one undergraduate degree.

I did do a postgrad which I could have turned into a Masters....but I just couldn’t be arsed

I’ve got my undergrad currently doing —struggling— an MA wish it was over

I only have one. My CV says I went to three universities, which is true, as one for professional qualifications (day release) and the other for a language course.

I don't have one.
I have my NNEB and 3 BAGA gymnastic badges {does a forward roll}

I have three, BSc, MSc and PhD. I’m very proud of them all, as they were all such hard work!

I have one. It is a 1:1 though!
And a post grad qualification, but it's a pgce not a masters (so it doesn't count?) but I don't have QTS.

I have two because I cocked up one the first time round.

It felt like unfinished business, and I wanted to retrain for a career, so I went back and did my original intended degree when I had the girls. (The career didn't eventuate. Still glad I got the degree. Pity about the matching eyewatering student loan though!)

also have a Brownie hostess badge

I'm super sleep deprived, I read that as the brownie HOSTAGE badge! I thought blimy the brownies have changed since I was one...

I've only got 1

I've got two doctorates 🤓

I've got 3 and am nearing completion of #4, a doctorate. I do them for fun.

It’s all changed now, you have to plan and throw a party, but in my day the Brownie Hostess badge meant you had, amongst other things, to make cups of tea and take a cake along to serve that you had made at home.

The woman granted with the role of judging these tasks saw you in her own home and sometimes FAILED girls!

The two that went the week before me passed but one of them bragged to Brown Owl about how her mother had bought her chocolate eclair (supposedly homemade) from the shop and the woman couldn’t tell the difference. There was such a fuss that our badge judging was cancelled!

It resumed a few weeks later with someone else entirely who passed everyone even if you forgot to take your cake. She let you make a sandwich instead apparently!

9 good GCSEs and 3 crap a levels here.

Followed by a diploma which I’ve used for the last 10 years as a childminder.

Well, I have three PhDs, but I don't think any of them really count

I'm a singer in the Three Degrees, plus have loads of swimming badges including the inflating pyjamas one.

I did my undergraduate degree as that was the only way into the job I wanted to do. Then after a few years in the job I got offered a chance to do a Masters module and just kept going till I got the masters. I really enjoyed it and although I left that job it’s helped me in the job I do now.

I really enjoyed doing the masters - was something just for me when I was most of the time in mum mode. Never thought of doing a PhD tho - that was a step too far

I have a brownie badge in campanology and one degree in media production.

Very proud of my campanology badge.

So close to finishing my degree but ducked up last module. Very sore point. Should finish next year. I think Mumsnet crowd is very middle class.

Although I'm as working class as it gets though

It’s working class married up into middle class or became middle class with uni/work. The roots show!

I'm currently at uni number 4.

Got 2 degrees, a post grad cert and nearly finished a masters.

"I didn't realise a masters counted as a degree, I'd say I only had one, but a masters too. "

What??
A masters is a master's degree!

I'm from Australia and sometimes we get all the way up to 45 degrees

I didn't realise a masters counted as a degree, I'd say I only had one, but a masters too.

It's called a masters degree!
