the job than somebody who had all the right bits of paper but who was
totally clueless. But it appears (at least in the UK) that
personnel-droids only go on bits of paper and not what you've done or
what you can do.
Ok, the way I see it you have two options:
a) start your own business
b) go back to school and enroll in a <insert your desired technical degree
here> program, and if the university system there is anything like here in
the States, challenge every course you possibly can to accelerate your
degree, and take as many credits as you can in each semester. You'll
probably have a piece of paper that certifies you as "qualified" in about
a year.
A or B. Choose one now and stop feeling sorry for yourself.
