List your useless qualifications

I was thinking about the future today and I realised I have
a lot of qualifications which probably mean jack shit by the
time I go to get a job. I have:

GCSES
A-LEVELS
National Diploma
(almost) Degree
Swimming Badge

Now even the degree probably won't mean much when I apply
for a job (since the industry I intend to go into base
pretty much everything on the portfolio). And I honestly
feel I could have skipped everything post-GCSE and completed
a degree about 5 years previous.

Anyway, this thread is for you. List your qualifications and
whether they actually did anything for you in your chosen
field.

bottom of a swimming pool?

Haha, I pussied out on that brick test and did it from the
shallow end instead. I still can't swim very well either.

My badge was back when I was about 9/10 and it was swimming
something like 100 meters from the deep end to the shallow
end. I was fucking petrified the whole time.

I've did a proper degree but it doesnt look like I'm going
to make much use of it. I think my D for AS Level General
Studies is the most useless qualification I have, and thats
including my 50m swimming award
