    Following from an discussion over on the serious discussions forum.. i thought it was be interesting to see what demographic the regular bit-tech forum visitors are.

    Are we all computer geeks and tech geeks?

    Do we have a high proportion of arts students amongst our ranks?

    Or are there more career orientated individuals here, with degrees in the medicine and finance?


    Well, i'll start of then.

    I have a BEng (Hons) Engineering with Business Finance from UCL and LSE.

    (yes i went to both, no they are not separate degrees)
    basically, I was taught mechanical engineering at UCL and economics and accounting & finance at LSE.

    So i'm not sure how I came to hang around a computer forum with all you geeks! :p

    I started off in the RAF in digital comms/systems many moons ago and thought I could not do that for a living so followed a passion instead.

    Have BSc Hons in Sports Science and Physiology from Glasgow and develop/design exercise programmes for chronically diseased.

    Bit pointless, wanting to do something like go to a specific uni and do a specific course, means little, having done it, got the degree, thats what counts.

    I'm going to study business (specifically entrepreneurship) next year. Which reminds me, I'm supposed to be working on my college apps right now.

    No degree here, didn't have the time to go the whole way.
    NC and an HNC in Electronic Engineering though.
    Might finish it one day and get a BSc, you never know.

    Funny thing is I do electronics in my work.
