So frustrating
Anybody else getting really frustrated with people who dont believe that an OU degree is a "proper degree"? Most people do, but there are always some who dont. "Are you still doing that little course?" That little course is a Bsc honours degree. Yes I am still doing it. Its not a 6 week "brush up on your maths skills" course.
"Its not like a proper degree from a university". Yes it is a proper degree. I get to graduate and wear a witches cloak. I get letters after my name. I get the appropriate certificate. The only difference is that I study at home in my own time instead of having to rock up to lecture hall B at 10am on a Tuesday morning.
It gets even more frustrating when you explain it all to them and they STILL dont think its a "proper degree"
I suppose its a bit like the people who think that working from home isnt a "proper job".
