What Sol said is true. What's even more true (at least over here), is that most employees dont' give a fig about your GCSE (age 16) grades. ANd if you've got a degree, they don't care about your A-level (18 grades). Acutally, even if you haven't, they don't really caer. Actual job experience is worth far more than Hostory A-level.

Many would argue that degrees are largely useless now too. I disagree. You can learn a lot of transferable skills at uni. How to sit through a lecture pretending not to have a hangover. How to down 5 Tequilla slammers in a row without so much as breaking a sweat. And I've got one mate who swears that midnight stoned Runouts is one of the best games you can play.
