I'd like to ask:
Which single qualification (your BA, Grade 8 etc) would you never want to be without? Which one means the most to you and why? |

I asked this question to Revd Dr D, who has various professional Post Nominals (physics/engineering( and we both agreed the qualification that meant the most toe either of us was out first degree. Having been Miss for 27 years being Mrs is great, I don't hanker for any more letters in front of my name, although a couple of good quality diplomas would be nice.
I don't want post-nominal letters for their own sake, but I would like them to demonstrate I have moved on profesionally over the last few years. |
