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 always a CC no matter where or when

 

It's no coinicidence that most PE teachers are also Geography teachers.

 

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 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.

Three Cs at least

 

I knew a guy who was gonne study geography at derby uni - I laughed when her asked me where derby was...

 

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).
