I have a B.S. in Computer Science from a small college here in GA. I finished that in 1993, it took 5 years, but I co-oped and gained a lot of useful skills.
Last summer, I finished my MBA from another small school in GA.
I am done with school, no PhD for me.

I honestly don’t know. I think I’m a sophomore in college - maybe halfway through the year. I’ve been to 3 colleges in three states in the past 8 years or so.
My grandfather quit school after 8th grade, like many farm kids did in the '30s. It doesn’t stop him from enjoying Michener, though - the man reads even more than I do.
I first went to college in the early 80s, intending to major in psychology, but I decided that wasn’t what I really wanted to do, so I took a little break to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up…
Cut to 1998, when I noticed I had somehow unaccountably grown older and decided if I wanted to complete a degree before I entered a nursing home I’d better get moving. I declared as an English major, since that’s what I like best, and I’m deciding now if I want a concentration in English Lit or Creative Writing.
I have 53 hours so far. If you’re an assistant manager by the time I get through, will you hire me as a trainee?
Oh well. An English degree may be fairly useless, but it could be worse. I have a friend with a masters in Women’s Studies.
I have a BA in Political Science. Yes, I know a BS would be more appropriate for Political Science, but this particular science is considered an art.
I also have a <glances around, lowers voice to a whisper> JD. But I’m a nice guy anyway.
I’m still 110 days, 11 hours, 44 minutes from having a BS in computer science.
Sigh. I’m still in school and already over edumuhcated.
I have an A.B. in Economics from a liberal arts college (single-sex college to boot!)
I have an M.A. in Higher Education. I’m currently wrapping up my dissertation (PhD) in the same field. Very tired of school.
HA HA HA! I have a good friend whose sister-in-law has a Master’s in Womens Studies. She’s currently working in a warehouse! Why ANYONE would want a degree in this I have no idea. It’s even more worthless than a straight History degree.
I’m 90 days away from a BA in Journalism (not super useful itself) in a big school in Ohio. It’s been a long and very tiring road to get here. I’m just so glad it’s almost over.
I have about 1 1/2 years of college under my belt (I was a theater tech major), but my GPA is abysmal. Once my kids are old enough I am definitely going back. I want to teach high school English. I still have a looooong way to go myself, as should be evident by my atrocious use of grammar more than half the time, and I must be a masochist of the first water for wanting to take a job with crap pay in crappier working conditions in an incredibly crappily-funded system.
Man, I really MUST be!!
BS in Computer Engineering from Wright-State University (Right State, Wrong University)
Am considering going for my Masters in the future, don’t want to be the only one in my family without at least three degree’s. 
I earned my BA in Anthropology (focus on Religious Studies) from UC Santa Cruz in March. I’m planning on earning at least an MA in Near East Studies starting in Fall 2001. Before anyone tells me that’s useless, I don’t care. I want to teach junior college, and an MA is necessary to do that. Besides, even if I completely change my mind, I’ll only be 24 when I finish, so it won’t be like I wasted half my life. My pipe dream is to go on and earn a PhD, but right now I think I am prepared only to make a commitment to a masters.
BA in History (University of Washington)
Masters of Library and Information Science (University of Hawaii - Manoa)
I’ll probably go back and get more pieces of parchment. At one point I planned to be an academic librarian, a position in which secondary, tertiary, and quadrennial masters degrees are key to advancement. I’ve since sold out to the corporate world and don’t know when I will find the time, but the desire is still there.
A year and a half of college working towards a bio-med major before I got burned out, quit, and spent a year doing nothing. Now I’m back, working toward becoming and RN.
I also took a six week course at a nursing home, and am a CNA.
Approximately a BA (a little more, actually, a Norwegian degree called cand.mag) in linguistics, with minors in English and psychology.
I am a college drop out. Never went back after finishing my sophmore year.
Robot Arm, my wife Marcie is a graduate of Evergreen.
When were you there?
I have a bachelors and a masters degree in accounting from the University of NC at Wilmington.
I just passed the CPA exam. I have vowed to never take another test!
Congratulations!
(do you stalk spiders?)
B.A. English, Hendrix College, 1986.
Dropout, Ph.D. program in English lit, Emory University, 1988.
Sorry, just have to rant here for a second. I get livid when I hear people run down liberal arts degrees as “useless”. I get even more upset when I hear people with liberal arts degrees do it to themselves. Given the rate of technological change in our world today, most of the information learned in a more specialized, technically oriented degree program is worthless within a few years of graduation. The people who succeed are people who, whether they have a liberal arts degree or not, have acquired the skills and habits of mind that the liberal arts teach. These can be summed up as the ability to process new information from a variety of sources, recognize connections with other information, synthesize new information from what you’ve learned, and communicate all of these to other people. To make it even briefer, the liberal arts teach one to learn, think, solve problems, and communicate. In my experience, these are essential skills in any profession.
I have parlayed my own “worthless” liberal arts degree into a variety of extremely responsible support and quality assurance positions in software development firms. While I’m not a programmer, the jobs I’ve held called for a significant amount of technical knowledge. But the specifics of that knowledge changed from month to month. Thanks to my liberal arts education, I’ve been able to learn what I needed to know quickly, understand how what I’d learned fit together with what I already knew, and communicate effectively about that with others. For seven years now I’ve been in the managerial or executive ranks of the companies I’ve worked for, and I’ve found that my most valuable, flexible, and creative employees, the ones who’ve been the most successful and who have contributed most to the organization, have also been liberal arts grads.
BS in Education + 28 hrs. from a university in Ohio
Summa Cum Laude (Gosh, I love saying/typing that.)

Is that the school that changed its logo - used to be a rainbow? And what are they using instead? Or am I mixing it up with another school in Hawaii?

Please resume normal topic.
I have a BA in anthropology (yes, I said anthropology)from the University of South Florida, here in Tampa. I passed the Florida certification test to be a secondary school teacher, but then dropped out of the education program right before my internship. Right now I am trying to get certified in veterinary technology, at Saint Petersburg Junior College. If money and time ever permit, I’d like to take a few graduate level classes in anthro, as a non degree seeking student. If I like it, I may try to get back into the university and get my Master’s.
