What is your education level?

[lacoochee]

2 BA's Finance and MIS & a MBA from the University of South Florida.

Don't get me wrong I am redneck, I am just a very well educated 5th generation Floridian from Pasco County.

 

[DAVIDSDIVAD]

I'll have my PharmD before too long

I looked at the poll and am wondering - what is the diffrence betweena Master's Degree and a graduate degree? As far as I can remember a Masters degree is a Graduate Degree. Did you mean Undergraduate degree?

As for my education level: It far supercedes mere schooling, and I have a fair share of that, probably much more than many in the USA, maybe even more than most if you consider my schooling plus specialized job training. Yet all of that, would be hollow without my life experience.

All the best,
GB

[Dienekes]

BS Police Administration plus 2 yrs graduate work. The real education was often quite separately acquired and occasionally left scars...

Can't say as education per se is going to automatically win the day as irrationality, emotion, and demagoguery--like Murphy's Law--are always at work. I wish it was that simple...

For a good take on this read Plato's "Republic" on types of government and on democracy in particular. (Not often taught in school as it would not be PC and probably disruptive.)

I respectfully submit that “working on” and “have” are completely different.

It also seems that one is best served to learn how to think and not what to think.

Some college, but NO degree~!

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Some college, No degree.


However, have read 4-5 books per month for the last 30 years and have an IQ of 164.

All of which means nothing. More knowledgeable than some, less than others.

 

[nosliw]

working towards my associates of science in community, then i'll transfer and go for the BS

 

[Naja]

[Danus ex]

I too am part of the over-educated populace. I served my 20 consecutively (pre-school through the end of my master's) and I'm having a hell of a time getting started in the working world.

 

[Grizfire]

PhD....soon, defending in 6 weeks, wish me luck!

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

They rarely have anything to do with each other.

As you can be educated beyond your intelligence

I didn't see a "self educated in literary, classical, and technical fields; I don't need a useless degree" option.

It doesn't apply to me - I have a BS (in Information Technology, and I'm looking for work)- but I'm certain it does to many on this forum, if not literally, at least in spirit.

 

[Regolith]

I'm in my fourth year of working on my Bachelor's of Science degree in Computer Science/Multimedia. I've got one more year to go (that's what I get for changing majors).

 

[catfish101]

I have a BS degree.

I work in a trade were there is no school. Well there are a few schools but they just make you feel like you know something till you get to work then you realize real fast that you are very ignorant and the best thing to do is to listen to the old timers that will actually teach you something.

Some jobs can't be taught they must be learned.

Unfortunately, the uneducated masses can't afford to indulge themselves in the shooting sports. Those of us who can, must consider ourselves in a similar position to the framers of the constitution - standing up for the rights of the masses that cannot stand up for themselves.

Burned my degrees 20 years ago. Shortly after I realized my words covered the bottoms of many a bird cage....

 

[BigBlock]

I dropped out of high school and I'm proud of it. I quit because I was making more money than my dumbass teachers running my own business.

The last straw was when my 'business' teacher had the balls to give me a D and tell me I was wrong..."those that can, do, those that can't, teach".

 

[btg3]

Man, you sound bitter. If your children have as much pride,education, and money as their father, will you be content?

 

[alsaqr]

MBA and a Master's in Systems Management.

I voted (sorry to bring the average down), but have to make a point. Formal education is good only if you've got the common sense to go with it.

There is such a thing as being educated beyond your inteligence.
