In 1976 many of my friends left school after their O levels/CSEs and walked straight into a decent job and career
Banks, the civil service, local government all employed thousands of school leavers every year
That doesn’t make up for all the other negatives though

It used to be good: before they amalgamated GCEs and CSEs into GCSEs. I had an excellent high school education (1978-83).

It's the same with cable companies...and consumers lose in all cses.
YouTube TV's contract dispute with Disney, which has led to the blackout of ABC and ESPN from YouTube, is a reminder that streaming services are subject to blackout at the whim of corporate greed.

I concluded that the Sunderland defense is good enough to field in the 1st 11 and not just benched.
The problem with choosing their attack is their returns are distributed, so I'm relying more on DEFCONs and CSes, and with Ballard, a strong goal threat to go with it.

Excellent point indeed. If you ever want to delve more into this “part of the story”, LISS panel and Dutch Parliamentary Election Studies (NKO) and CSES have data with feeling thermometer ratings (sympathie-schalen) for parties; and beyond that, consideration set size can be relevant too.

Me: “This doesn’t seem like that big of an issue, I feel a little silly calling it in.”
The first IT that I contacted was soundly defeated in minutes. There are now TWO high-level CSEs on conference call, both remoting into my laptop to try and figure out what the deal is with this control console.

Same, 5 O levels and 4 CSEs for me. Can't even remember half the subjects now.

Before GCSEs there were A and O Levels and CSEs. I somehow managed to get two O Levels and four CSEs. I still have the certificates but only the Army wanted to see them in 1977. They've been in my "stuff" ever since.

For West Ham, Bowen and Paqueta are being talked to death for GW8, especially for those on WC, but what about defensive options?
We've seen his attacking threat, and with Nuno in the house, CSes are on the horizon.
A cracker of a goal looks on the cards by this month too!

This may be the first time in my baseball fandom that the four teams I most wished would make the CSes made it (from the playoff pool). Now let's go Brewers and Mariners!

Not guilty. Not got a degree, just a HND. A bit like the situation with GCSEs, CSEs and O'levels where there was supposedly equivalence for better grades, a distinction was claimed to be on a par with a basic degree, but like nah, nobody ever, believed it. Makes no odds in a recession.

Yeah, a lot of the humour is up my father in law's street - smart guy who without much education (just 3 CSEs IIRC!) because every lad on Teesside was meant to just go straight to industry. Viz is also from the north-east of course, and I wouldn't be surprised if the artists had similar life stories

You’ll need to show it to get a job. Besides your CSEs, O-Levels, A-Levels, degree, professional qualifications, driver’s licence, union membership card, Gov Gateway, NI number, bank account details & more. If they tax pensions as predicted, even retired folk will need it to keep heads above water.

💡 Unlike most countries, Belgium lacks national parties; regional “sibling parties” fill the gap
💡 Using the 2019 CSES Belgian dataset, the article shows that these sibling parties attract *similar* voters across regions, especially the Greens and less the liberals
