Your degree certificates on your wall?

I needed mine a couple of months ago to requalify as an Irish lawyer. Had no idea where it was, so had to pay the University for a copy.

Presumably your degree opened a door for your job. A job that pays bills/roof over your head/ a few toys etc....

Yes, yes you should be proud.

[Whitean3]

The only place you could hang it would be in the toilet.

Failing that, envelope somewhere safe, just in case you might need it for something in the future...

[C0ffin D0dger]

I managed a "gentleman's" degree, a 2:2. To much partying not enough study Still landed a decent job though.

Not sure I want it on the wall where someone will say "oh, you've got a degree, only manged a 2:2 though".

[Alucidnation]

I don't even know where mine are.

Even so, i wouldn't hang it on any wall of an office.

Cringetastic IMO.

[Roofless Toothless]

No, the certificates live in a folder with all our other personal documents.

What I do have on the wall are three little wooden plaques with the crests of the universities I attended.

My 2p,

If you're a Doctor, Dentist, Accountant or Solicitor (perhaps others I forget) then your clients/patients might find them reassuring, even interesting to see / read them, especially if you went to a really good Uni or got any special honours.

If you're a Sales Manager with a 2:2 in History, NO ONE fkING CARES. By all means if you're especially proud of what you did in between parties a few decades ago then hang it in your house, but you look a bit of a dick in work doing it.

Both my degree certificates are on my home office wall... yes, I'm proud of them, I worked very hard to get them... but then I graduated last century when it still meant something...

This.

God alone knows where mine is, probably in the loft of a house I used to live in.

[richs2891]

Got to agree with the above

NO idea where mine are, I'm assuming they where destroyed when I had a small fire at home,

[Jimmy Recard]

I don’t know where mine is. I’m neither proud nor ashamed of it, it’s just a piece of paper that’s of little practical use to me

It’s probably in my filing cabinet or in a folder somewhere. I can’t remember what it looks like

[Richard-390a0]

Stuffed in a folder along with everything education / career related from my gcse's onwards.

This.

I find it funny when people put their degree letters on email signatures

I worked with Craig Wright a couple of years ago, there wasn't a piece of wall in his office that didn't have some kind of PhD/Degree etc on it - thought it was awfully tacky.

Google him if you're not familiar.

[Jasandjules]

Mine are in a cabinet I think, along with other professional qualifications.

[MYOB]

Mine are framed but in the loft of my former home where the wife is. Despite asking for these for job interviews, she has so far refused!

[sjabrown]

Mine is sitting hidden away at home (MBChB). What I currently have on my wall at work is the framed page of pacenotes from my first big accident on a rally!

[SteveO...]

Only finished my degree about 3 weeks ago (as a 50 yr old with the OU). I'm awaiting my results, but I'm sure when I get the certificate through I will be insanely proud of it for a few weeks. After which I'll probably stick it away in a drawer and forget about it.

[RTB]

I had to provide scans of my degrees when I started my current job 10 years ago. I have no idea where either the certificates or the scans are now.

I wouldn't dream of putting them on the wall even if I could find them. They've been a means to an end.

What's a little depressing is I did some project management course through work and the certificate I received at the end of the week looked a lot more official than my Ph.D. certificate
