Today thousands of Irish teenagers will be collecting / checking their Leaving Cert results (Ireland’s answer to A Levels / Bac / SAT).
Based on the media hype surrounding it you could be easily conned into thinking that the world actually cares.
Reality – they don’t.
The Leaving Cert is a bit of paper. You can use the points / score to get a place in a university.
That is all.
In a couple of years time you won’t care about it.
The rest of us haven’t cared in years. Some of us never cared to begin with.
Putting your LC results on your CV when you’re 17 or 18 is fine. Putting them on it when you’re in your late 20s with a college degree is pointless. Providing details of ALL your grades is just plain wrong.
