Well after 5 hard long years of doing my honours degree part time whilst working, i have finally finished it! Damn, it feels good! An achievement im actually quite proud of - which suprises me slightly with the up and down experiances ive had with it. My final mark was a 1st class honours degree. I simply need to signing off for by the 2nd board for it to become official now but this should be no problem.

To all those in a similar boat, keep it up and you'll get there in the end. Now im hoping the hard work will pay off with better opportunities!

Next up will probably be a masters in advanced networking - if my student loan is accepted by the UK government. If not, it will be straight into the cisco studies once more and rapping up the ccnp. Wish me luck either way :D.

    Congrats on the accomplishment of that milestone in your life!
    No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    yeah napier isnt bad - a wide range of different nationalities thats for sure! Think i'll end up doing the Msc. with me not going FT i didnt exactly get the student experiance that you probably did. yeah ive lived in edinburgh a few years and its a nice place. Lacks networking roles sadly lol.

    im not sure if it was near the station as we were in the car. Good laugh though and killed abit time whilst it was lashing down! :D
