I have a Bachelor’s Degree, and also some Trade School education, but I didn’t see any option to allow more than one selection. Hmm.

I have a B.S. and am currently working on my MBA.

I’ve been thinking about getting an MBA. How is it going?

For purposes of your poll, would you consider a GED = high school graduate?

I have a master’s (terminal) and I’m working on a PhD. The MS was used to switch fields - I have a BA with a double major in Philosophy and Political Science, but after a year of law school I decided I didn’t like it enough to pay for the rest of the JD, so i took a few years off to work and ended up more interested in economics. I spent two years doing a master’s with a concentration in applied econometrics and taking the requisite math courses and now I’m enrolled in a doctoral program.

Yep

I have a GED, and keep going back to the local Purdue campus to take classes, on and off for the past ten years or so. I just really like school, I guess.

I picked “some college”

I have a Master’s degree, and I’m about a year shy of a PhD.

Finished off a BS in mathematics and BA in philosophy in December. Hopefully will find something this fall to continue moving on and up.

I wonder if there will be bias in the results because we who have more formal education are more willing to answer the poll.

There should have been a choice for, “Enough to know the limits of a formal higher education, but not enough to understand why the whole world is so fucked up.”

Keep studying that driving! You could graduate to a big rig! :stuck_out_tongue:

Typical mind set of the academic elite. An inability to educate yourself is nothing to be proud of.

Hah. I really have had the “chuck it all and become a truck driver” urge many times! :slight_smile:

I finished all the coursework necessary to get a Ph.D. but I don’t have one as a result of the minor detail that I never finished my thesis.

My dream “YOU ALL SUCK AND I QUIT!” scenario has me mixing paint at Home Depot.

Bachelor’s degree that I never used in a professional capacity. Lots of trade schools and certifications, and a shitload of hard knocks education.

B.S. in biology (that’s bat shit, TYVM), working on a DVM.

You wrote an honors thesis on guano?
