It was really nice to take a subject I enjoyed all the way through to its conclusion, and although I didn't do a vocational degree I learnt a lot of skills that I would recommend to anyone following a media pathway.
It was a good degree and I learned a lot, but I didn't need the 5 years to realise that it wasn't the career for me.
Earning a doctoral degree in Graz, I learned firsthand how to do high-quality research in molecular biophysics and electrophysiology.
As I don't have a computing degree I've learnt pretty much everything myself, which has involved lots of crying at night.
Myself, as a fourth-degree black belt, I learned from a young age that you need to be confident and be able to defend yourself.
I did a degree in accountancy, and what I learned is that the route to understanding everything is to have the money under control.
The ability to look at culture from 360 degrees was the greatest lesson I learned there.
For instance, I learned the superlative degree of the word "nude" just by reading the ads in the Miami "Herald".
(There is a scene in Chances in which a teenage sex slave services her client, the memory of which will outlive everything I learned on my degree course).
