To get rid of all my paper work from my degree?

[Nooz]

Does anyone ever need it again??

We are moving, I'm wondering if it's time for (the shelf full) of all the notes and ting to go...has anyone ever regretted a recycling frenzy of brainy paperwork?

AIBU? Too much stuff going on I'm lacking judgement skills today

I'd so appreciate some Mumsnet grounding!! Thank you

I have a hard copy of my dissertation and that is it, notes and stuff went years ago. There are probably some files on an old hard drive somewhere but no paperwork.

I've go two degrees and two qualifications that required multiple assignments. Haven't kept any of the paperwork.

Chuck it.
( Just don't Chuck your certificate like I did)

I got rid of all of mine including all my assignments and my dissertation, I wish I'd at least kept that now - I can't even remember what my dissertation was!

Thank you, that's helpful! Thanks too for the giggles, I have no sense at all today so I'll double check the recycling for certificates and the cat Xx

Just came on to say what @Spied said. Expensive mistake!

I chucked everything of mine about 2 years after graduating and have never needed any of it since (10 years ago)

In retrospect i'd have perhaps kept a copy of my dissertation, but that's more for nostalgia than anything.

kept all my essays and dissertations from my degrees, chucked the notes etc.

Dissertation yes, nothing else.

One day you might want to look back at it. I would scan it so that you always have a soft copy then shred/throw away the hard copy.

I kept dissertation and some notes on rockpool ecology that I particularly liked and wrote on a field trip.

2 degrees and one post grad certificate - 8 years of work all recycled last year it was strangely cathartic. Caused my DP to twitch horribly he has all the notes and minutes from all the meetings in the development of two high performance cars he was involved with. Not that he's looked at a single one for 16 years. He has to keep them in his workshop.

I have everything. I shouldn’t. 😬

I graduated in 2006. Kept my dissertation and my certificate but that’s it.

I also have everything, @madwoman1ntheattic. My DH looks at me like 🙄 every time we have a big clear out.

I chucked most my degree stuff when I moved. Kept my dissertation but recycled everything else. Also binned most of my police college notes at the same time. My probationer was aghast until I pointed out a lot of the laws I was taught had changed significantly in a decade (Scotland).

DH has referred to his PhD thesis once in a while, and mine was just the right height to raise the height of a monitor.
We do both use the textbooks occasionally.

I kept some of my notes and some textbooks.....luckily as I've started a new job and now, 10 years after graduating, I will be delving back in to brush up on some bits that have gone dusty in my brain!

Certificate and a couple of text books just so I can go and read them and remember absolutely none of it every now and then.

I have my certificate and a couple of textbooks. My field of study is fast moving though so a bunch of my notes were already out of date by the time I recycled them (over 5 years ago!)

I recycled all the notes about 6 months after graduating. Kept my dissertation and a few essays I was proud of and some books I'd bought for it. And my certificate obviously!

I find it highly unlikely that anyone would sit and read through their lecture notes years later tbh

Just keep the dissertation, chuck the rest

Kept dissertation and certificate and a couple of textbooks. Everything else went
