Your educational attainment?

[Neo Ash]

The subject says it all.


I'll kick it off. 3 college degrees, with a Master's as the highest.

 

[madmanjock]

1 undergraduate degree, 1 masters degree, and I'm working towards being a fully qualified accountant if that counts.

 

[aha2940]

2 undergraduate degrees: Mechanical Engineer and Computer Scientist.

 

[Tripredacus]

I picked "some college" because while I did finish all of my classes, I never filled out the paperwork to get it made official. So technically I am not a college graduate.

Too bad your poll doesn't account for educational attainment outside of the traditional sense. It might be hard to quantify, but in certain fields, college degrees have nearly no meaning or are not actually required, where secondary education (through certifications) or even good old work experience plus a guy to give the good word is all you need.

 

[ChopstickSamurai]

College dropout.

 

[Tw3ek]

1 Bachelors with only a few regrets

Most fields could do just find with on the job training instead of a college degree, but that idea apparently disappeared right around the Reagan Administration

So you graduated college but because you didn't fill out some paperwork you didn't get a degree? You took 4 years of classes and paid for it all, but you couldn't be bothered to fill out paperwork to prove it? Story checks out.

 

[jro]

Two Master's - an MBA with a focus in Marketing and a Master's of Science in Accounting with a focus in Auditing and Forensic Accounting; and a Bachelor's in Psychology.

 

[ggallegos1]

Bachelor's in Psychology and was working on my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I'd like to get back into it and finish by the end of next year, then maybe go for a PhD

 

[neo_mao]

I have a PhD in love-making. My thesis was on masturbation.

 

[Heinz]

High School because well it's Australia and who cares about University if you've got a trade!

 

[GregN]

2 degrees and a certificate
Associates in Accounting Technology 1996
Bachelors in Telecommunications 2000
Certificate in Biomedical Device Industry 2005

 

[SML]

MA. I just got tenure at the 2-year I'm at, while a friend I took the MA with is preparing for his dissertation defense after 10 years.

No ragrets.

 

[snes_collector]

I have a Bachelor's in Business Admin. Although I wouldn't mind having a Masters someday, I probably won't go back unless an employer paid for it.

 

[opt2not]

Master's in Digital Art and Animation. I completed it back when there was less specialization in 3D art, so you were taught all aspects of a 3D art pipeline. I can 3D model, texture, rig, animate (my forte) and even pre and post production like concept art or video editing and composition. Now-a-days kids are specialized in one area that it really limits their job opportunities in Film/TV, and game development.

Should add trades/journeyman license to that poll,

 

[Neo Ash]

Should add trades/journeyman license to that poll,

Nope.

Journeymen are simply considered competent and authorized to work in their field as a fully qualified employee.

 

[sr20det510]

Master's in Geography

 

[skate323k137]

Dropped out of college when my parents defaulted on their house and left the country. I ended up in IT so honestly it ended up saving me time and money. I took some courses that I wanted to learn but I have no desire to get a degree at this point. I have more than enough years of exp and qualifications that I don't even consider employers who won't overlook my lack of a degree.

Honestly the only legit reason I would get a degree is if I wanted to move to another country at some point. It seems impossible to immigrate anywhere without one.

MBA

 

[Massive Urethra Chode]

Some college and also the school of “I already have several dead friends at the age of 22”

I wonder how your friends died. Could it have been...drugs, brah? That's really relevant to bring up here, brah. I think you have a doctorate in trying hard.

 

[sylvie]

high school and a long expired NOCTI certification in graphic design/commercial art

 

[SML]

Okay, who's the nerd with the PhD?

 

[miisalo]

High school, I have been doing my masters for 24 years in computer science, math and physics now. Never had time to finish'em as I have had business(es) to run. I have been making money while my wife has been doing science
