my kids have never attended a school in their k-college years that had retakes.

you can sometimes retake the whole year, if you fail the finals - but you'd need special permission to do so and mitigating circs

The 2 DMV kids I know who just graduated from St Andrews are both working now in the UK.

But that tells you something. Could they not get jobs in the U.S. due to the St. Andrews UK degree?

or they're taking advantage of a 2-year work visa a UK degree confers. very valuable to American companies with offices in the UK.

but sure, tell yourself your own story.

Go ahead and mock but employability in the States is a very serious issue talked about re St. Andrews parents (I have a kid at Oxford)

Is that a topic specific to St Andrews' parents or are you also concerned about your Oxford student?

If your St. Andrews degree won’t get you a job at H&R Block in New Jersey you can always use it to become the King of England.

LOL.

Those same chatboards also worried about Oxford grads. Are you taking them very seriously and worried your college grad won’t find a good job in 3% unemployment environment.

No one is worried about the employability of Oxford students. St Andrews is a league below and known for taking the US dollar. That’s how St Andrews was saved after WWII -by bringing in the foreign dollar

+1. Oxford U graduates make more than 45% over all other UK graduates. https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/19542406.oxford-university-produces-best-paid-graduates-uk/

"The study found that the average UK graduate salary within five years of leaving university is £24,000.

Oxford graduates earn 45 per cent more than this, with an average graduate salary of £34,802."

eh, maybe not the flex you think it is
