Hey if they called it the CIA I'd pay the subscription
Imagine, it would give you the right to turn up to a site in suit and dark glasses, talking into the cuff of your sleve. And people say that we don't look proffesional! Just think 25 agent smith's digging a henge monument!
On a more serious note there are some BA courses that hold a higher practical content than many BSc courses, these tend too hold out better in the commercial field. As such I'm not sure how you would place one above the other? Unless it was for a more specialised role such as enviro or maritime? However, even so I think it would be unfair to do this with specialist roles until MA level qualifications by which point its kind of academic as the course would be more job specific anyway. Sorry I'm writing as I'm thinking rather than thinking then writing.
