How about a different set of degrees? I graduated from high school in 1972, received my community college (associate) degree in 1988, and received my BS in 2007. ---

Reported for forum change, as this is more of a poll than a question with a single factual answer. I got my BA in 1999. No Master’s. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > What is the purpose of this thread? > I’m not intending to poop the party if you are all enjoying yourselves here, I’m really just curious. I’ll let the OP answer definitively, but I assume there was some curiosity about how much lag time between college and graduate degrees. Or maybe it’s another attempt to gauge our ages. ---

It looks like several other people are having the same autocorrect problem I was and tried to fix multiple times. I’d type capital M’s and A’s and so on, then when I posted they’d turned into small letters. I gave up and spelled the degrees out. But it’s like we went to e e cummings university. ---
