I was chatting with BC in the shoutbox when I realized that he was the most incredibly educated
person that I have probably ever met.
I have a B.S. in computer science and statistics from the university of southern mississippi.
y'all?

No college degree here, but I did go for a couple of years to University of North Texas.
I've managed a coffee shop. I'm now learning (but I got a pretty good grasp of it) the accounts receivable position at a car dealership. There's a school around here that actually teaches accounting for dealerships, and I'm thinking this summer I'm going to enroll in some of them. I'd like to learn more about what my boss does. :)

we kicked UNT in a bowl game a few years ago. all the chicks were hot, though.

I have an associate's in business administration. I thought about getting the MBA, but there was a turn of events that made me rethink my major.
Now, I am attending a college to gain a bachelor's in the radiologic sciences, so I can become an MRI technician.

LOL. I lived behind the football stadium my sophomore year.
And of course the girls were hot, they're from Texas.

Well, I take after my dad (a radiologist) more than I thought I did. LOL This will be a much more exciting field for me. :)

It takes a while to figure out what's a good fit. I originally went to school as an English major. I was going to teach. Then I realized that's probably not a good field for me. That's why I stopped going to school. I did management at the coffee shop. That's not for me. And now I'm working accounting. That' a good fit for me.

it is an exciting field, for sure.

I have a thoroughly useless BA in Management.
Not Business Management mind you, simply Management. Spent more time and effort with my minor, which was German. That shit's rusty as hell now since I no longer speak it at home.
I started an MBA, but got one statistics course done before getting immersed at work. :hyper:

associate's in criminal justice

Damn all these edumacted people hanging around here and I am just a dumb ole redneck. :-)
I am about 2 semesters away from a degree in electronics. When I can get my student loans caught back up I hope to finish my jedi electronics training.

Freeper, I don't have a degree either. I'm getting "experience." I think I'm going to try and take some classes though. I'm poor enough I should get some kind of aid.

My advice if you have the chance take the classes. If I could borrow a dolorean with a flux capacitor installed I would go back and finish school.

I am probably creating an atmosphere that I didn't intend. some of the most successful people that I

I apologize for creating the wrong impression.

yeah, but you are a fast-tracker on your way to sales. there is big money in that.

Associate of Science in Nursing, working on a B.N. from the University of Dundee in Scotland, of all places. I don't know why, though. It's unlikely to garner me any more money and I have no desire to work in administration. I'm perfectly happy to be working in a clinical setting.
If I took a position in Admin my base pay might go up, but I'd still be making less money because I'd lose out on shift differential, weekend differential, incentive pay, etc. However, I'd advise new nurses to go ahead and go for the BSN. It might be a requirement one day if the nursing shortage ever eases up.
-
B.S. History, one thesis away from an M.A. Actually spending today finishing applications for (God help me) Ph.D. school. It's amazing - when I first tried college nearly 20 years ago I hated everything about it and dropped out as fast as I could. Now, looking for the career change and actually caring about the education, it's one of the best things I've ever done. Especially since universities continue to be willing to pay me to go there. :naughty:
-
B.A. in English, specialty in Technical Writing.
Teaching certification,
A handful of credits away from Masters.
....
And yet, I'm not a moonbat. :-)

....

Oddly, me neither. :-)
I don't know if it's dumb luck or what but, except in a very few cases, I've not run into the barking moonbat profs either. Or maybe I bark more than I realize ... :o
-
BS in Nuclear Technology from Thomas Edison State College (took Navy Nuke School along with my Georgia Tech credits, did a few extra courses, got degree).
Currently working on BS in Electrical Engineering and after that considering either MSEE or MBA program.
-
BA in psychology, and certified k-6 teacher. Haven't worked full time for a number of years, though.
-
BA in Computer Science. 23 years in the defense business.... programming yur bombz. Now, in a commercial business analyst role, counting yur tacos. :lmao:

My wife graduated from NT, back when it was NTSU. :cheersmate:
I'm an Aggie (in case you couldn't already tell). I have two bachelors degrees from Texas A&M University...Architecture and Landscape Architecture. I'm licensed in both fields.
:old:

I'm six months away from completing my Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Information Systems. :p

No college yet but planning to very soon. I really want to major in history, more focused on ancient history. I would LOVE to go on digs in the UK or something.

I've got a BA in history :-) I really enjoyed studying history, but I did have a couple of moonbat professors.

Good for you! That's actually a pretty hot field right now. For a long time, archaeologists and historians sneered at each other but in, say, the past 15 years or so, it's become a pretty hot ticket. History/anthropology too. Your career prospects go wayyyyyyy up if you go that route.
I'd rather just sit in a dusty archive, thanks. :-)

Punching professors is probably not the best way to pass, no :-) One class I took was 20th century Russia, taught by a card carrying communist (the communist party of America apparently really does issue cards to their members). Well, there was also a guy in that class who had lived in Soviet Russia and was absolutely conservative. There were some really fun discussions :-) She would say something, and then he would argue with her, especially as we got into the 80's where he had actual memories of the Soviet Union :cheersmate:
Also, I took that class when Hurricane Katrina had happened, and we regularly spent a good chunk of the class arguing about how Bush was at fault for the handling of it :thatsright:
If you ever want moonbat professor stories, I've got a bunch.

I have a nearly 30-year old Bachelor's in education. I wanted to major in English, and didn't know what else to do with an English major, so I majored in education even though I knew I didn't really want to teach.
I have done nothing with my education. EVER. Life happened. I was a full-time mom for more than 20 years, have had a couple of part-time jobs, and now wish (at the advanced age of 52) with my whole being that I had majored in journalism, since I would have been very good at it.
I must say, though, that seeing all of you still continuing your educations and working toward goals makes me see that I may not be too old . . .
-
I'm Uneducated. I actually have enough college credits for 3 degrees, yet they are all split between 4 schools :banghead:
There is only a handfull of schools that give a metrology assocoiates, and only about 2-5 schools that will give BS, or MS in metrology. ISO has ruined the days of being a metrologist without a degree, every employer wants someone with a degree, regardless of experience. :censored:

I wouldn't say you have done nothing with your education. I think motherhood is the most under-rated profession in the world. I dabbled enough in my job to remain current while raising kids. I suppose I could have poured myself in to my career and be in a much better place career-wise, but I would have been miserable missing my children growing up.

Unfortunately, you are right about the emphasis put on a college degree. I come from an era where non-degreed people climbed up through the ranks and became engineers. They were mainly trade school graduates, but they kicked butt on most of the degreed electrical engineers. The piece of paper does not always guarantee application of knowledge.

Well, I agree that momhood is very important, but the kids grow up and move away and leave some of us at loose ends. If I had worked all those years, I'd have a reason to get up in the morning now. And more $$ to travel to see the kids! And a reason to buy nice clothes. And interesting colleagues. And a feeling of being productive. And a little more independence. Etc.
I also feel that I would be a little less "taken for granted" by my now-adult children.

I agree... it is also a thankless profession. Good luck Mary Ann, I hope that you are able to pursue your dreams.

MaryAnn....we sound similar.
I have a 34 yr old BA in Sociology with a concentration in Criminal Justice (that's what it was called back then), minors in Psych and Anthropology, and 1 class away from minors in History and English.
I'm pretty good at Trivial Pursuit!
I worked for Xerox before I got married...was a management trainee as I was the only female with a college degree in the office....gave it up to get married and move halfway across the country. :thatsright:
Did the mom thing and super community volunteer for 15 years...then needed a job when I got divorced. Wasn't pretty....
I have been a Realtor for almost 11 years though, and after several years of primarily doing new construction sales, I now do foreclosures from eviction through sale to new owner, and broker price opinions (analyze the value of the property) for a variety of mortgage companies for various reasons...refinancing, home equity loans, pre-foreclosure, foreclosure, etc.
I do keep thinking about going back to school....I've thought about law school for years...not to be a lawyer - but to see if I can get through it. It's a mental competition thing within myself...both my siblings are engineers and I can't balance my checkbook! :loser:
ACC....my daughter is a radiology tech...she works at a walk-in clinic here....great hours and terrific money. She really likes it. Her husband is an intervention radiology tech at a level one trauma center. They will never have to worry about being un-employed.
-
I've got a degree in accounting, but I did stay at a Holiday in last night :-) :-)
Got out of the service and kind of closed my eyes and poked at the major sheet and came up with accounting. Was too lazy to change majors, so followed through with it. Never did any real accounting work, used the degree to leverage my way into operations. Ran a couple of mid-sized tech. companies along the way, finally got tired of working for other people and started my own company; we're kind of a specialty contractor.
-
i have a couple of degrees (nursing, English/Journalism) and started out my youth cutting hair... which i still do, but only for my family..
i really dont even count that i was all that 'educated' until i started knowing what was going on in the world though.. which started ten years ago and which is still ongoing.

I thought about being a realtor, but here in Michigan, especially in the area we are, it wouldn't pay very well, and I would probably cross my 'frustration level' very quickly!
While I always knew in theory that my kids would grow up someday, I thought it would take a whole lot longer than it actually did. As a mom, I'm sure you know what I mean. Anyway, I never gave a whole lot of thought about what I would do after that happened.
-
I have a BA in history and sociology from Kent State University, and a paralegal certificate from a community college. Hubby's got a law degree. Sure doesn't mean we're any smarter than those without degrees, though. I've known people with a ton of fancy-pants "bragging frames" on their walls who don't know shit, and I've known people with not a day of education beyond high school who were very smart and successful.

I didn't expect to be divorced and job hunting. Where I live there isn't a whole lot that I could do with my degree except go to work at Child Services or parole/probation officer.
Both those are really long hours for very little pay in this area...even police and firepersons work 2 and 3 jobs.
I don't make a lot of money...though "a lot" is relative...but I don't have fixed hours which I like as I am not a nice person before 10am.
One of the benefits of what I do now....my work clothes out of the house are jeans and a shirt, a sweater, or sweatshirt, depending on where I'm going. In the house, it's everything from pj's to sweats to shorts and a t-shirt in the summer. I also have minimal expenses as I don't advertise the foreclosures. Eliminating my advertising expenses makes a huge difference in my net.
I also have eliminated the guilt/aggravation of something not selling...if it doesn't sell now, the bank just lowers the price. There's no emotional factor in the equation of selling. The emotional factor in the eviction is horrendous though....I am having trouble with that part. :(
You could get your real estate license though and do the broker price opinions. In your area, I would think there are a lot of them. Steady money coming in....and you chose how many you do in a month.

I would as of right now fill out the High School with some College box.
Pending the results of my Speech CLEP test, I will have my Associates for Weather Technologies, or something like that.
I intend on tackling the rest of my Bachellors at my next duty station.

The Air Force has a great Associates program, which is accredited. I wish the Navy would have had such a thing.

Yeah, the other branches always joke about the CCAF, but I know it's just jealousy.

You are right it's jealousy. Had the Navy had that I would have had an associates long ago and probably had a Bachelors.

My cousin is in the Air Force. She's got more school than she can possibly use. I know she's got at least a Masters and a couple of Bachelor degrees. Last I heard she was doing logistics and planning for OIF.

About 5-7 years ago, my brother went up to North Texas. He showed them what he did in the Navy and they said, okay you need 3 classes and you'll get a bachelor's. (I forgot what his actual degree was in).

I've got a BA, an MS in Systems Management, a JD cum laude, and an LLM. I've also gone from Private to LTC in the Army, farm, and do jewelry metal art on the side. Ask me anything.

No school has ever offered me more than 20 credits, most would only offer me 3 credits for a PE class due to boot camp.

I Drunked out of College once, Ran out of Money once and after a stint in the Army got my education at the school of hard knocks. After successfully running two businesses into the ground and accumalating almost a million dollars in debt with nothing backing it I caught a break. Under the tuteledge of a remarkable man ( he did such a good job I eventually bought him out) I've created several successful businesses,invested in others,semi - retired at 42 yrs of age. Got bored and jumped back into the fray.
Education is important. I got a couple lawyers, some MBA's and a Phd working for me to keep me spoiled and out of prison :hyper:

sheepishly, I'm not sure exactly. He's 8 years older than I am, and we're not that close. What he told me back when I was 12 was that me made sure we weren't attacked by subs off the east coast. *shrug*

For various reasons I was never in one place doing the same program for longer than three years. Kind one of the things that appealed to me about the military, always moving on and taking on new challenges in different places...

I suppose that would make a difference. I've been in the same school for nearly five years, and I think I'm about to lose my mind. I even took some time off, but I'm still having a hard time pushing myself through the last six months.

BA in Criminal Justice from MSU and additional coursework in forensics taken at Univ. of Texas. I worked for a law enforcement agency in Texas for years and was fortunate enough to learn many aspects of the work. It's also kind of the "family business" - I have 11 family members in law enforcement/forensics.
Life circumstances led to me finding a "9 to 5" office job in the field of I.T. I made more money, learned a lot, and was much safer. Although I did do some consulting work for a time. I migrated into administrative support and ended up being able to use all of my background to run an office. Right now, I'm a stay at home mom but that may change this year if we decide to put the kiddo in private school.

Geez...well...nearly have 2 years in Finance and then worked 5 years in that field as an analyst mostly with all the designations--series 7, 63, was working on my 8 when i got pregnant time #1. Been mom for nearly 10 years, but am nearly finished with another 2 years in BMgmt and then I was going to go on to the Bachelors in Accounting, but now I'm kind of wavering and considering straight mathematics since I love that nook of geekness. :-) I just want to finish SOMETHING! :lmao:
I tried to go back to work recently, it was a scheduling disaster with my autistic son and his respite care still being figured out so I'm just going to keep plugging away at school and hope to return to work when the littlest his kinder next year. Daycare is a pia, even more so with a child with a disability. Everything seems to have to be planned in great detail and as we know, winter does not care about the best laid plans. :banghead:
