so what’s the deal with all of my fellow dopers in regards to higher education? Where (if at all) did you go to college? Did you complete your courses? How many people made it to grad school, etc?
Myself, I’m a college dropout. Went to school for 3 semesters, and got a whopping six (count 'em, six!) credits. Huzzah.
Bachelors and Masters Degree - Music
plus credits here and there for different community college courses (I get bored very easily). Seriously considering going back for a degree in Marine Biology.
Right now I’m finishing my upgrading so I can get started on an engineering program.
Well, I graduated from Louisiana State University in Shreveport with a BA in English. I then went on to get my Masters in Liberal Arts from St. Johns in Annapolis, Maryland. THEN, I decided to go to school overseas and I lived in Scotland last year pursueing further graduate study in English. I am now in the process of completing my M.Phil. in Victorian Gothic fiction.
To put all of this in perspective, my step-dad didn’t graduate high school and he’s smarter than me. D’oh! 
Peace,
Tracy
Graduated with a BA in History, in 1995. Come spring semester 2001, I return to school to begin work on my MBA. wow…I’m gonna be back in school.
I have a BS in Computer Engineering. I am readying myself to go back for a masters. I might go for an MBA.
I got my B.A. in psychology from the University of Hawaii- Manoa last December. I’m contemplating graduate school, but it probably won’t be at UH. The psych grad program here is overstuffed and very competitive. Right now, I’m teaching undergrad intro psych and getting good references. 
Dropped out of High School right after 9th grade.
Attained a baccalaureate degree from the University of Texas, in a field wholly unrelated to my career, with honors and about 160 credit hours. In post college years I’ve picked up another ~35 credit hours, but no grad school.
I received my BS in microbiology and cell science, from the University of Florida, in 1996. This spring I’m going to take some courses in biological oceanography (at San Francisco State) to give myself a background, before I go on to graduate school (who knows where yet). I want to eventually explore the deep sea and study the fauna down there.
Yep, I have an 8th grade education. I failed 9th grade and never went back.
B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Illinois at Chicago. Started my Masters but decided I was really sick of being in school and never finished.
Mr.C, Silverfire - you are brave folks. I too am a ninth grade drop out. I was just too chicken to say so until y’all piped up.
After my failed attempt at college a few years ago, I just decided to give up on formal education at least for a while.
Right now I think I’d like to become a gypsy.They’re not requiring degrees for that yet, are they?
B.S. (Physics and Computer Science) from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington.
I have a BA in English Lit. Would you like fries with that?
B.A. in psychology, College of St. Benedict 1987
(right now it is quite ably papering my wall)
Currently I am unemployed, taking an office technology course and learning Word, soon will learn Excel, Access, maybe some other word processing programs and actually be able to have some marketable skills.
All you brave ones who didn’t make it past 8th or 9th and spoke up about it, you all seem pretty well educated from the posts of yours I have read. My mother only went as far as the eighth grade also, and she could do almost any crossword puzzle put in front of her.
Finished my AA and transfer stuff for the physics program at U.C. Berkeley while I was in the Army, came home and got accepted to Berkeley, then they told me that I wasn’t a resident anymore. This was last year, and I’m a resident now. Thinking about going back…kinda…
Hey, at least I got my Berkeley student ID! 
Well I am a junior in high school now. And I plan on finishing.
I got my degree at the University of Hard Knocks. Our school color was red and our school yell was OUCH! It was tough let me tell you. The first night there I got mugged. I was attacked from behind so I did’nt see her. It was soooo tough that…
Actually, I have a B.B.A. from Baylor. I am back at school at University of Houston Downtown now.
Current high school senior. Plans to continue on into college to get a degree in communications/pr in the works.
