What is your education level?

[Nomad101bc]

My mother was saying something about how gun owners will win in the end because we have a higher percentage of educated people. Just curious what education level everyone has achieved. BTW feel free to mention colleges.

You need to post a poll.

 

[M2 Carbine]

High school.

 

[Ohio Rifleman]

I Don't Understand Your Categories

If you want to assemble some data (dubious due to self-selection of respondents), it seems to me that it would have made more sense either to ask for total number of years of formal education or group the post-high-school stuff as associate, bachelor, master, professional doctorate (e.g., MD, JD, etc.) and academic doctorate (e.g., PhD, DSc, etc.). There are plenty of other professional doctorates, particularly in health care, which are not listed, leavng respondents to guess whether they should list themselves with the ones you have listed or with other unspecified graduate degrees.

5 years of electrical apprentice ship. It doesn't fall into the poll, but it is extra education after high school.

 

[TexasRifleman]

The problem with this is that it tries to equate Intelligence with Education.

They rarely have anything to do with each other.

 

[highorder]

strange, I think the most common choice would be a BS or BA, but that isn't available in the poll.

 

[jabotinsky]

Graduated from the university of Smith and Wesson with major onions, the kind you can't roast. Ring a bell, school's in session, Jackson.

 

[BruceRDucer]

Have a High School Diploma, but

Have a High School Diploma, but I'm self-educated through my own reading mostly.

I like history, philosophy, religion, military stuff, science....whatever, you know?

There's a whole lot of people here seem to be the same way.

I agree on changing the categories.

I think Graduate Degree needs to be changed to Bachelors, and then I'd suggest a category for Graduate/Masters degrees and Professional/PhD's

 

[Nomad101bc]

A gradaute degree is same as BA or BS without getting picky. I was not trying to imply more educated means smarter i know plenty of well read people who have not gone to college.

 

[btg3]

Nope. 4 yrs of college generally gets you a BA/BS which is an undergraduate degree. If you go to graduate school for a Masters, that would be a graduate degree. Been there, done that, got the sheepskin.

I've also been curious about the demographic make up at THR. Think I'll go search and see if there was a poll on age. Parents' level of education would also be interesting.

Master of Science in Computer Information Systems

 

[modifiedbrowning]

B.A. in History/ German Minor from St Anselm college in Manchester (actually Goffstown) NH.

 

[Tribal]

I agree with those above:
Some High School
High School/GED
Associate's/Trade Certification
Bachelor's
Master's
Doctorate

This is all based on the American system, so our friends from other countries may have to either skip or adjust to the poll. I figure that if someone has a degree which somehow doesn't fit in the list, they probably know about where it should go.

I'm not sure why anyone would equate level of education with intelligence. Certainly there's a relationship with academic skill and knowledge, but that's different from intelligence.

 

[Rokyudai]

Masters with no end in sight.

 

[rero360]

working on a Bachelors in Music Business, have about a year left to go after this semester. I've been thinking I should have gone the route of History, oh well.

 

[wideym]

I hit graduate because there is nothing between HS and graduate.

However I will soon be working on a Liberal Arts degree with a minor in Underwater Basket weaving just to show up the Starbucks servers, who only have the Liberal Arts degree.

 

[Dave Markowitz]

Juris Doctor.

 

[cpttango30]

In the end I wish to have no less than a Masters degree. I am starting late in life though but I know I can do it.

By the way I graduate this may from Northern Virginia Community College with honors. I will them be attending George Mason University in the fall to finish my BA in IT.

 

[igpoobah]

There's an awful lot of room between high school and graduate degree.
