Poll: How (formally) educated is the escapist anyway?

[Ancientgamer]

:| well I'm currently dual-enrolling in HS and college. Soo, I'm gonna abstain, rather than unbalancing the poll.

 

[Xhumed]

Completed 2 years of my BSc in Psychology at Uni in the UK, so I have a Diploma in Pysch- my 3rd year unfortunately was sabotaged by various problems. Currently looking into completing my degree here in Australia.

I didn't finish high school.

I was about to say formal education means jack shit, but nope, still regret leaving... DAMNIT.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I've currently got my Bachelors in History, with a focus on 18th Century Religious Conflict, Justification of action through Faith and Pagan Hold Overs in Early European Christianity. I've also got an Alberta Land Administration Certification and I'm currently thinking of getting the education necessary to become a Paralegal.

I didn't start in History, I started out in "Communications and Culture" which is like useless general studies with a fancier name. Then I switched to a major in English with the intent of going into Journalism, then I discovered that I hated English as a field of study, and really liked History, so I switched and never looked back.

I'm not working "in my field" but I keep up a lot of personal interest and I'm debating getting back into it and going back for my Masters, though I'm not sure the end goal of professor is really what I want right now, so I'm conflicted.

Still in high school and I got one year left after this one.
I still have no clue what to do with my life.

What the hell is Associates? I completed my HSC. I've been to tafe, studied sound engineering, graduated and now I'm out and about.

Formal education turned out to be rather a waste of time and money for me. The things I taught myself in my spare time went further towards getting me a job than formal education did.

 

[PartyMonkey]

Just started my second year of college (British) and I am currently hating it.

 

[LockHeart]

About to start an undergrad course in History and International Relations at Lancaster University. Plan on doing a minor in Philosophy for the first year.

Bah, York's where it's at! *mutters something about Red Roses*

Putting aside Uni rivalries, I'm due to start my second year of Law soon

 

[Crayzor]

I'm in year 13, studying History, Politics and English Lit. Hopefully off to uni next year.

[Blue_screen]

I am studying Enviroment Engineering. Currently in my third year.

 

[Legion]

The education system in the UK is nothing like the US one so I can't really vote.

I completed my 'A levels' which are a two year qualification taken after High/Secondary School, but before you go to University.

I chose not to go to University because there wasn't any course I particularly wanted to take and it would have been a waste of money to go just for the sake of it.

 

[Taniquel]

I am working on my Masters in Micro and Molecular biology. I have about a year left. My BS is in Microbiology. After working for a few years, I hope to go back and get my PhD in either virology or immunology.

 

[ae86gamer]

I'm studying to become an AI Programmer for video games at UIC. I did this because, well.. I love video games. And I'm nowhere near done. I just started Uni a week and a half ago. :]

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

BSc Applied Biology (in England, I've heard UK's education is slightly different from US, so I'm not 100% sure how it compares to what's up top)

 

[Jon Etheridge]

I gots me a degree in tv movie films, artz and entertanument. Honestly it's just a piece of paper when you think about it and some of my friends with more "formal education" than me are struggling to find work. Then again I work in the entertainment business which is much different than most other professions.

 

[sizzle949]

Working on my criminology and criminal justice with concentration in psychology BA. In fact my first is today.

I know what you mean, I've never heard of an Associates before, and my Bachelors will take 3 years

 

[bodyklok]

I've graduated from High School and I'm currently doing AS2 in Chemistry and Physics, I'm also doing AS in Politics and I.C.T because I need something to fill up my school schedule but not take up to much time.

After that I'm thinking of going straight into work with British Energy; I did my work experience there and loved it, but more importantly they like having me their so I think I can get a job easily.

I might take a gap year with my inheritance money before either going to work or looking into university.
