Education

[Chaunte]

I was sharing some of the poll results with a colleague at school.  She asked what the education ranges was for the community here, and I didn't know.  So...! 

This is for the highest level of education you have completed or are presently working on.

I was kicked out of HS wrongly finals week durring senior year...

It took a while to come up with both the time and money and ended up getting my GED

PS: Its former govener G.W. Bushes fault I was kicked out of HS and banned from the district....  He tends to pass overreaction laws... which have little actual benifit to the people hes governing.

No wonder we like talking, we're an overeducated lot in this forum HEHE.

Got an undergraduate degree in engineering, plus 2 years undergraduate (but didn't finish) in physics, one master in business and another in PR.

18 or 21 hours after this semester to get mine my Bachelors. Which will be 3 more semesters going half-time. That if I decide to continue going to college.

I'm gonna get my PHD.

But I dropped out of highschool.  I never quite recovered from transitioning in the middle of the school year, even when I got put off my therapy.

[Natasha]

i'll be damned.  i don't have enough fingers and toes to count my PhD's

i have a master's

[lady amarant]

Just a single, solitary Computer Science Bachelors for me. Though I'm hoping to go back and do a Psychology degree next year, assuming I can work out the financial angles.

How about a "trade school or some college" option?

Thinking about going back to get a degree if I can get motivated and figure out what to go for (I am happy with my career).

Trade school added.

BS in Earth Sciece / Meteorology - Chem minor, MS in Imaging Science.  Permanent NYS teaching certificate.  Thinking about going for a 2nd masters, this time in Geoscience education through Mississippi State.  (They have a fantastic distance learning program in this!)  Even toying with the idea of earning a PhD, but I haven't found a local program that excites me yet.  (It needs to be a technical PhD - one where I can do real science and real research.)

Too bad! The first two years of physics are pretty awful. I almost quit, but stuck around and now I love it.

IHTFP!

I have a complete set of college degrees, B.S. in physics from a private university, Masters in American History, and Ph.D. in the History of Technology and Science from a public land-grant university.  I also went through a traditional craft union's apprenticeship program in carpentry, audio design, electrics and lighting, and static (but not dynamic) rigging.  So, I've done both.  I also a years worth of training in secretarial school because my mom thought it would help me in college (she was right), and did a welding program in a community college because I like stuff like that, and some time at the National Executive Institute because my job at the time demanded it.




P.S.  Static rigging is hanging sound systems, lighting truss and that kind of stuff, dynamic rigging is what they do in Cirque du Soleil, which amazes me, rigging for a human body in motion is a whole different world than a dead hang - no matter the weight.

Yo Nero, what's your education and what's it in?

I WANNA KNOW.

I finished high school in 3 years by increasing my course load each year, I had no desire to stretch it out for the usual 4 years. School was absolute torture... nobody liked me, and I didn't want to be there. I often read the entire reading list for classes during the first few weeks, and was then bored for the duration of the year.

After HS, I decided to take some time off to work and travel before going to college... and other than a couple of courses, never continued. I'm an avid reader though, and have intensively studied subjects that interest me.

I dropped out of high school and went on when I got older to get a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology.  My liberal arts concentration was in literature.

I still read as much as I can find time and energy for.  Now that I'm unemployed, I might have the option of returning to school for a Masters degree but I'd have trouble choosing something I'd like that is near enough to home to attend.  Business Administration doesn't attract me in the least.

This sounds a lot like me (other than the 3 year part), I thought HS was dreadful. It took me years before I could go back for any sort of schooling, I just couldn't do it.  I did not want to be there, I felt like I did not fit in, and I was bored to tears. Like you I was always reading and learning on my own, I love learning, I just hated the school environment.

I have a HS education. I did finish a 35 year program which they will pay me for the rest of my life. Now, I'm on my second program and in 3 years will have another pension, which will pay me for the rest of my life. On my first program, after 2 years of working on the job they gave me a BS degree. That doesn't mean Bachelor of Science either.

I voted; however, I am not sure if my vote is valid under the category I voted for since I don't have a PhD and I can't prescribe medication like a medical doctor does.
