Poll: Level of Education

[Avaholic03]

Well, I'm not currently in education, but since I've already got a bachelors degree, I suppose my next step would be a masters.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Been a Law & Criminology graduate for over a year now.

Damn job market is killing me.

 

[Chemical Alia]

I have a Master's Degree. I'm working now, not currently in school. That towering mountain of student loans isn't paying itself.

College and university are two different things in the UK, discluding Scotland.

In Wales we have to do primary school until 12 & then secondary school until 16 by law. You can then go and do college / Sixth form at 16 - 18 if you get the grades at secondary school, or get a job / resit your GCSEs. Mature ages apply for some college courses too (Resit GCSEs, BTECs, Apprenticeships, A-Levels, public service courses etc). University usually follows after college (bachelors / foundations, then masters).

I'm currently studying computer security & forensics at university, first year, with aspirations to work in counter-terrorism.

Try to be honest, I'll call shenanigans if I see that Post-Doc is our highest level (granted that's all I plan to do, but it will be a very angry shenanigans).

Why would you assume there are no post docs? Do you think only 14 year olds are on this website? It's especially odd since you are ok assuming PhDs, and often the next logical step from there before they can get their first research job is...a post doc fellowship.

Oh no no no, I'm simply suggesting that the majority of people on this site are not Post-docs. If a bunch of people are then cool, I'm simply suggesting that this site probably follows a normal distribution for education levels. I would call shenanigans if 40 out of 50 polled on a site for video games claimed that they were at the post-doc level.

high school, while taking some college courses. :/ Btw i come from a private school, so yeah florida public school are still in the drain.

I never actually finished a degree, thanks to my unwillingness to bend my neck to certain professors whose classes, in my opinion, simply shouldn't be necessary for the technical degrees I was chasing (generally things such as Sociology and Literature). All As and Fs for me in college. That said, I have a whole bunch of certifications and such...
So I suppose "At university/college" is a good stand in for the classic "some college" recordkeeping mark.

 

[theevilgenius60]

Just got my B.S. in secondary education and coaching(double major-sucked bad). I'm pursuing a Masters in administration. I hope to be a coach/ teacher soon, working my way toward being an athletic director or principal. If I get that far maybe I'll try being a professor, that's where I see it going.

I don't need school to have a superior complex.

[babinro]

3 years university Finance before failing my key courses. Despite working with the prof and having a dedicated study partner who was getting 95%+ I couldn't succeed on the exams. I've never been a strong tester, and was unable to obtain a degree because of it.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

Currently working on my Masters, myself. Highest degree I've obtained so far is my Bachelor's.

 

[davidmc1158_v1legacy]

Masters in History, now teaching evening college classes.

 

[AppleShrapnel]

Graduated from the local vocational/technical collage in '06 with a mere certificate of completion in Drafting & Design Technology... designed homes at a small firm in town for a little over 4 years, then... well, economy herp'd and derp'd and now I've been unemployed for ~3 months. :|

(Yay capitalism? :S)

 

[DirgeNovak]

I study media communications at University of Montreal. I'm in second year.

 

[Gaiseric]

Not currently going to college, but I did do a couple semesters awhile ago.

Whenever I get my ducks in a row I'll go back to finish the job.

 

[madster11]

OG..that is so hard to resist a joke.

See what you almost did there. But just to be clear I'm talking about a Bachelor of Science.
