Education!
« on: May 12, 2012, 08:23:34 PM »
Just curious about this. If you are still in school, tell where/how long you have to go.


I'm option 2. I'll get my BS in a year or so. Don't know if I'm going to do grad school or not, depends on the job market.

Education degree, which is undergrad + one extra year focused o education, so somewhere between option 3 and option 4.

Law School (which is, like, technically a Masters).  Will gradjimate in a few weeks, barring act of God.

Bachelor's acquired. Next step: Master's! Then: PhD!

It's not part of the normal four year program? Huh.

Didn't you get a degree in, like, English or something?  Isn't that kinda like quitting one semester after starting?

I has an associate's IN college, which is some special kind of uselessness.  Also currently in an associate's program for culinary.

Completed my Bachelor's years ago, currently enrolled in some terrible courses online through my Alma Mater in the vain attempt to get a Graduate degree before I die... so I guess I'm between option 4 and 5?

I wasn't even in the topic, asshole. And part of why I quit was because it basically amounted to being yet more semesters no matter how I tried to finagle things.

I have a bunch of useless college experience and I regret every bit of it.

Got a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and a Post-Graduate Specialist Degree in Literature. In terms of pure work market utility, I may well have gotten a degree in boiling water surfing, but.

I'm pretty sure that if you could surf on boiling water, that's more marketable than a Lit Degree.

BS in Biology, just graduated this month. Will eventually go onto grad school after a brief break.
Don't think of it as a novel. Think of it as a chance to retroactively win every argument you have ever walked away from.

3rd year, working on a BS in Computer Science (spec. in Software Technology) at this university in the Philippines, and not to be confused with the similarly named institution in PA of the USA. I am currently about to undertake work on my undergraduate thesis, and if all goes well, I should be graduating about next year. Well, that's about it really.

I may or may not also have had experience in being a whore.
