Education

[Aulayna]

I've noticed that these days more and more forum goers tend to have degrees or are in higher education of some kind. So I figured this would make an interesting topic.

Did you stop as soon as your compulsory education finished?

If you carried on - how long did you stay on for? What qualifications did you end up with?

If you're still in the education system right now how far do you plan on going?

I'm going all the way. PhD for me.

[Bunny]

I am almost finished with my Bachelor's degree. I'm going for a teaching certification so I can brainwash kids with my liberal agenda.

[Jinx]

Probably Bachelor's. At the rate I'm going, it will be 2020 before I get it.

I really wish I was joking.

[Ouch!]

I completed my bachelors. I'm currently working, although depending on how my career progresses, pursuing a masters (either in English or Business Administration) in the future is likely.

I continued my education for 7 years after high school, through college and law school. I ended up with a couple of BAs and a J.D. I ended up being qualified to practice law in Maryland and put "Esq." after my name.

Which kind of confuses me actually. As a J.D. holder, I'm technically a "doctor" as much as some PhD holders, though I don't consider myself one. But regardless, no lawyers ever actually go by "Dr." because it's pretentious (or so I was told). But we put "Esq." after our names? That seems even more ridiculous to me.

Education is never finished.

As far as formal education is concerned, I have one B.A. in Religious Studies, minor in East Asian Cultural Studies. Currently working on a second B.A. in Philosophy, looking to do an honours (for those of you whose university systems differ from Canadians' the difference between a major and an honours is that an major is usually 36 credits and an honours is 60 with a CGPA requirement). After that going to apply for my M.A. within the field of philosophy and/or religious studies, quite possibly philosophy of religion. We will see. Then a Ph.D. SHOULD BE FUN.

I got two BA's and a teaching credential. I'm currently making use of none of that.

[Pike]

I got a Bachelor's and I regret it every day.

[Shauna]

Got myself a BSc (Hons), which took 4 years after all my high schoolin'. I once thought I would continue on with education and maybe get a MSc or a PhD, but as I found myself finishing my degree... I just couldn't be bothered anymore. I wanted to do something else with my life. :3

Maybe in a few years time, I'll go back and buff my education. Or maybe not. Who can say?

[Faris]

Went to college. Got two advanced business diplomas one in accounting the other in marketing. Did it in 3.5 years instead of 4.5

I'm thinking of going back because I don't like where I'm at. Hopefully I can specify an industry to work within with a B.S

[escobert]

I got into college but decided after the first semester I had enough of homework

[Clo]

I have a BA and a teacher certification, currently seeking out a master's that isn't a bulltrout waste of time and I haven't been having any luck because apparently all graduate school seems to be is a waste of smurfing time.
