I have mentioned this before but my dad had an CC offer to read Geography at Cambridge in 1970.

Now that would be AAAB or AAAA.
 
Geography is not all about ordance survey maps you know. There is actually quite a lot of science involved especialy when concerning the geology aspects of of it.

Nonsense! As EC Bentley put it:

'Geography is about maps
Biography is about chaps'.

Geography is all about tracing maps and colouring in the high ground. Also the principal exports of Brazil, and some stuff about ox-bow lakes.

That is GCSE stuff :D ICT GCSE is also about databases, but you can do it at masters level too. The GCSE only covers a tiny portion of the subject:)

I find geography fasinating because it affects the way we live more than history because it is geography that affects history.
 
"Mere place names are not geography. To know by heart a whole gazeteer full of them would not, in itself, constitute anyone a geographer. Geography has higher aims than this... to trace out the great laws of nature and to mark their influence upon man. In a word, geography is a science, a thing not of mere names, but of argument and reason, of cause and effect."

In my experience, if you're good, you'll find work. There are lots of people hacking together websites, true, but quality web-application developers (i.e. server side scripting, databases, dynamic stuff basically) are rarer. I fall into the latter category as I'm not into 'websites' as such (i.e. the graphical stuff) and have had no great difficulties save for a couple of lean periods (Q1-3 2002 was bad).

And I don't do java :p
