Joining the ranks with a degree

[TheSaint]

How common is it to join the ranks with a degree and how is it viewed? Is it pretty rare and are those with degrees pushed to become officers or are they quite happy for you to remain non commissioned?

 

[Fizz]

It takes much more than a degree to be selected to lead. Besides, privates with degrees are probably more common than you may think these days.

I’m sure no would care if you have one GCSE or a masters degree. If you are good enough to pass the training then that’s all that matters

Plenty of Toms are well educated
