Ph.D in biology with post-doctoral work. Both brother and sister have Masters of Public Health degrees. Still, as sandyr pointed out:
Our mom finished the 6th grade. She is a voracious reader (because of Michener, we had an great converstion on horse evolution) and continues to teach her smart-ass kids.
BA in History from Penn State,
MA in History from University of Toronto,
D.Phil (pending) in Modern History from Jesus College, University of Oxford.
And somewhere in between I’ve managed to do course work from Bucknell University and the University of Leeds. All this work in History has been great preparation for a career in Alumni Administration 
I have an Associate’s Degree in Electrical Mechanics and Electrical Theory. I worked as an electrician for all of 14 months before moving to a career in computers for which I have no formal education. What a waste of GI Bill money, huh?
oops! thnaks brachyrhynchos and sandyr! speaking of michener, that erminds me that I didn’t put my school down, or what my major was or anything.
Swarthmore College, still technically a freshman, Theatre/Film.
peace out, biznatches!

B.A., English and Literary & Cultural Studies, William and Mary, '98.
M.A., English, UNC-Chapel Hill, '00.
I’m working on the PhD at UNC now, but I promised myself I’d quit the minute it was no longer fun, so I don’t know whether or not I’ll finish.
I graduated from High School and took night classes at junior college for a year and then studied business and computer technology at my local tech. college and graduated from that in 1998. I’ve never had a desire to go to college and probably couldn’t have afforded it anyway.

Yeah, when I went overseas to St. Andrews, my original plan was to study for the Ph.D. in English. I’ve since changed that to the M.Phil. I can get that in half the time at half the cost. I don’t like where higher education has gone. I just can’t work myself up to the “publish-or-perish,” Ivory Tower mentality.

And I’m so glad you did. I saw the posts knocking Liberal Arts too. And I’ve heard all the jokes before. What people tend to forget, I think, is that everything stands on the shoulders of Philosophy. The foundation of learning began with the Liberal Arts. Look at the Greeks. Anyone familiar with Euclid’s Elements knows that they even Mathmatics began as a Liberal Art. The fact that we have manipulated our society in such a way that the “big bucks” can only be made if we sit behind a desk counting beans or writing code matters not. True, science makes life possible. But thinking, understanding, contemplating, seeking, growing, ethics, the Good Life, indeed, everything that makes life worth living is found in the Liberal Arts.
Peace,
Tracy

I promised myself the same thing. I’m not in school to try to get a degree so I can earn lots and lots of money. I never was. It was all for the muse. Just trying to follow my bliss. 
Last year, it stopped being fun for me. I suddenly realized that I could do all this without paying tuition and meeting test deadlines. Scholars aren’t necessarily found only in academia. This is my last year. I’m teaching now and I absolutely love it. So I’m happy.
Peace,
Tracy
fully agree with Rackensack & TracyMarie - wouldn’t trade my liberal arts degree for anything technical; it got me exactly where I want to go, and I use my “straight history” knowledge everyday - and no, I don’t teach.
as for me: B.A., and a few law degrees.
I have a B.A. (Honours) in Anthroplogy, from the University of Winnipeg. My minor was religious studies.
I have a BA in Journalism and Mass Communications from Washington & Lee University. No need for any further degrees.
I have lectured at the Harvard Business School and I’d feel funny going back for an advanced business degree if I’m lecturing the students at a school I probably couldn’t get into.
Learn from experience, and learn from the best. That’s what I say…
I’m currently in my third year of college… I’ve made it this far…so I’ve gotta finish. Oklahoma State. Human Resource Mgmt. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to get a degree in and then there comes a point when you just have to decide something…so there…it’s HR…
I think it’s funny how there is sort of a higher prestige for those who finish college. Really…what exactly does a college degree tell you? It may or may not get you a better job.
I know a few people who have been Merit Scholars, given a full ride to the college of their choice, then drop out! They are obviously intelligent, but what’s missing?
I made it through one year of community college but since I am ADD and I have some slight learning disorder (not dyslexia but similar) I was bored to tears and hated taking classes that have nothing to do with my end goal.
If I could bypass all the crap classes and found a school that can teach people like me, I would love to get a geology degree.
I did take six MCSE courses (a semester’s work in a week for each class) and that’s my learning style. I never did go and get my MCSE but that’s okay the courses were excellent and I hate taking tests.
I got a BA in poli sci and philosophy from Regis University in 1996. (Motto: “No, there’s no relation to that Kathy Lee guy!”; Cheer: “I lived in Denver all my life and I never heard of that place!”)
I just finished my law degree at Univ. of Colorado at Boulder last May. (Motto: “Don’t ask about Jon Benet.” Cheer: “the more riots, the more fun.”) Hopefully I actually passed the bar, but I won’t find out for another two weeks.
I have an A.A.S. in Electronics Engineering. Currently working on a B.S. in Computer Science (about halfway through). Most likely will get a Masters degree in some Computer related thing. Althought I’m not sure where. Prolly some school in Boston, I love it up there. And I have also promised myself I will go to Berkelee College of Music (in Boston) and get a Performance Degree. Music is my passion, but if I can’t make an entire living off of it I will have a powerful backup in Computers.
I have just begun my sophomore year in an attempt to obtain my BFA [bachelor of fine arts] in studio art. Right now, i think i’ll wind up concentrating in sculpture or printmaking, mostly because i don’t want to con. in painting or drawing: i like making things with my hands far too much.
Oh yeah, I’m at Southern Methodist University, in Dallas, specifically, the Meadows School of the Arts. And no, SMU isn’t run by the Methodists [fwiw: catholics outnumber methodists here].
Ph.D., mathematics, University of South Carolina, 1993.
And rackensack, let me join in the applause for your spirited tribute to the value of a liberal arts education. When done right, nothing better prepares one for the world.
Undergrad degree in education at SOSU in Durant Oklahoma
Masters in education at Oklahoma University.
I have a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My training was in social psychology, so when I decided a few years ago that I wanted to do clinical work, I had to respecialize, which meant completing all the coursework for a second Ph.D. in clinical psychology. No second dissertation was required, however, for which I am very grateful. I respecialized at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. For those of you keeping score, that is 11 years of post-high school education.
All that and I still can’t think of a good username.
