Go for it

I APPLAUD university graduates who achieve their career goals (Letters), but am often berated by my daughter for describing my progress in life with the disclaimer: ‘Despite leaving school with nowt.’

I cite my aspirations and natural skills as the forces behind my relative success in academic and business certification 40 years after leaving school. Go for it, I say — with or without a university degree.
