What is your education level?

[Grizfire]

If you're happy with who you are, what you've got, and what you do you've got nothing left to prove.

here here! All you really need is good friends and a good mattress.

Very impressive Doug. Any headway against Emperor Daley's regime in your resume?

Sadly, no. And, as a suburbanite, I can't even vote against [insert feminine hygene product here] Daley.

I hope to go to a civilized land, somewhere in the Four Corners states. A place where going to visit Ogres and Anarchangels would be just a day's drive, not a week's drive.

I'm currently an experimental physicist at the University of Texas working on my PhD (haven't qualified yet--this fall!!) with Professor Dan Heinzen. I work on Bose-Einstein Condensates. I am the most junior graduate student in the group.

I got my B.S. in Physics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2006. Worked for Professor Chris Monroe there, on applications of ultrafast laser pulses to trapped ions (but really, as an undergrad, was mostly doing really basic stuff).

Previously a resident of Southgate, Michigan, downriver from Detroit, graduated from Southgate Anderson High School in same city in 2001.

For those who don't know...

BS = Bullsh**
MS = More sh**
PhD = piled higher and deeper

Post-Doc (1994) Harvard University
Ph.D. (1993) Michigan State University
Ed.S. (1990) Central Michigan University
M.A. (1986) Central Michigan University
B.S. (1984) Central Michigan University

My advisor in the Ed.S. program always said to us, "The more I learned, the more I realized just how little I really knew. By the time I completed the doctoral degree, I had determined that I needed to ask more questions, and give fewer answers." The man was wise...very wise.

SOME College. I had to drop out when my grandfather died.( I had to work.) This situation left my mom and grandmother with no place to go. So I picked up a menial job for health insurance and started my own Landscaping and Drywall Finishing business.... Bought a house and put them in it... Working two jobs,and getting little sleep,(for about 10 years)... the house is paid off..... and my mom and grandmother are secure.

They say that the higher in education you go, you learn more and more about less and less, until you eventually know everything about nothing ..

A measly B.A here .. Soon to be M.B.A if all goes to plan ..

 

[kungfuhippie]

You forgot to add AA degree for some of us. I'm working on a 4-year so I voted that way, but I already have one worthless paper to show off.

 

[newkahrman]

BS in Outdoor Recreation from Radford University. I agree that education has little to do with intelligence. I ve seen some pretty ignorant people with master's degrees. And Im sure there are geniouses out there that didn't graduate high school.

 

[AlaskaErik]

I have a bachelor's degree...which for some odd reason isn't a choice.

DougDubya,
Thank you for your obviously sincere answer.Go to extreme Northern New Mexico or extreme Southern Colorado and I think you'll find the El Dorado you are seeking.The Land of Enchantment would be my first choice.
Best of luck in your attempt to escape from Cook County.

BS in pharmacy. Different from most BS degrees,in that it required 2 years pre pharmacy + 3 years of pharmacy for total of 5. This was 1968 and no way to finish early due to course progression and prerequisites. Requirements not quite the same as a masters but more total hours than some masters programs.

We had a guest speaker telling us about how it used to be like that.

We're required to take four (18 hour) semesters of undergrad, then take the PCAT, then apply to the colleges pharmacy, and if we get in, we're in for 4 years of 18 to 20 hour semesters of that.

But you get the PharmD at the end of it all, so it's worth all of the stress.

Graduated in '68, 40 years in 3 more months, so I guess the time counts for something. I was an Air Force pharmacy officer for a while, including a few years in a small hospital at the end of supply pipeline, so you had to learn how to anticipate needs, and use alternatives when the occasion arouse.
It was all good experience, I looked at pharm d and decided that financially it was hard to justify, especially having a wife and young son, of course that's no option for entering students now. I do think they are making the acedemic program much longer than is necessary in the real world, with the proper basics you can learn what you need to know for the job at hand, example the job I am at requires more skills than the guy down the street at a retail store , he just has his name as Dr on the door as pharmacist in charge.
