They seem to only take your most recent academic qualification into account, and there's no way for it to account for skills and non-UK-based work experience.
Exactly, what is that? What's the point of accessing qualifications as a vector if you kind of don't?
I think I can get a sponsor fine, but unless I'm reading it wrong, I need points AND a sponsor, and with just a BA there appears to be literally NO WAY for any group/company to ever need me as an employee? What's /that/? I'm pretty certain I could go work for like, the English kibbutz placement agency in a way that, baring weird circumstance, Some British Chick couldn't, due to language skills, previous work and personal experience: are they really going to deny that possibility on the basis of my not having a Masters? There but for five points: what?
And I've always been thinking that, after another year or two after this one, I'd go get a post-grad degree. I just didn't expect to have to head back quite so soon? But in America they give you a TA job with grad school and costs aren't bad: apparently not so in England. It's a little disquieting, b/c in America you're told not to go unless you're nearly paid to go, but English!grad school, while advancing my settlement, is apparently basically a huge sink of pounds into that endeavor. I'd have to be REALLY SURE English grad school/citizenship was what I wanted, or transfer before I accrued too much debt if I went and found out I was being anglophilic and naive and actually it wasn't all that. What's your husband's experience with this? Is tuition deadly? Do they let you mitigate the costs in the way an American uni would through any sort of work?
