Do you have a degree?

[BarTopDancer]

The College for All (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?p=211961#post211961) thread got me thinking.

We're an intelligent group of people. Do we all have higher education?

Multiple Guess and anonymous.

[katiesue]

I have an AA. Lassen Commuinty College class of 1987.

[Gemini Cricket]

BFA in Communications: Film/TV Production
:)

[BarTopDancer]

AA and workin on the BA. I forgot to put an "in progress". Maybe one of our super cool mods can add that.

[wendybeth]

Do you want 'degree in progress' in the poll?

[innerSpaceman]

Meh, I didn't even graduate college. I'm an abject failure. :(


TeeHee ... not.



But I wish I'd taken a year or two off between high school and college. In my 14th straight year of education, I'd had it ... and quit.

[Prudence]

I'm up to 4 degrees.

But I can quit any time. I'm not addicted. I swear!

[BarTopDancer]

Do you want 'degree in progress' in the poll?

Yes please.

[wendybeth]

Done. Does this mean I'm super-cool?:D

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Meh, I didn't even graduate college. I'm an abject failure.

Wow - me too!!!

And I also checked "boobies."

[BarTopDancer]

Done. Does this mean I'm super-cool?:D

Yes. Now you are super-cool.

[BarTopDancer]

I have an AA. Workin on my BA. Boobies and hot dogs rule.

[BDBopper]

Done. Does this mean I'm super-cool?:D

You've aways been super-cool! :)

[BDBopper]

I have an AA from Georgia Perimeter College Class of 2006. Boobies and Hot Dogs Rule too! :)

[Kevy Baby]

But I wish I'd taken a year or two off between high school and college. In my 14th straight year of education, I'd had it ... and quit.I feel pretty confident that taking two years between high school college was the only reason I was able to complete college. It was not the plan: I had decided to not go to college after high school, but was lucky enough to have my father offer to cover college after two years in the "real world."

I only checked the BS degree. Technically I have an AA as well, but that is superseded by the BS.

Did you get a BS or did you major in BS?
:D

[Capt Jack]

no

[BarTopDancer]

In CA, an AA is 60 units. A BA/BS is 120 units.

Some schools notate the AA and some you have to apply for.

You can transfer in to a 4-year from a community college without the AA (but with 60 transferable units).

[Kevy Baby]

Did you get a BS or did you major in BS?
:DYes

[Brigitte]

I have a BA in Communication, Journalism. Washington State University, Class of '93 - Go Cougs :)

Obviously it was a useful waste of 4 years of my life.

[Alex]

Friends don't let friends go to WSU.

Or so said the t-shirts available for sale in the bookstore when I went to college.


BA ('96 UW), MLIS ('98, UH)

[Ghoulish Delight]

I use Old Spice.

[Strangler Lewis]

Who's the PhD in the joint?

[BarTopDancer]

3894 I believe (outting her cause she announced it in the other college thread).

[Kevy Baby]

Who's the PhD in the joint?That would be 3894 (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?p=211810#post211810) (AKA Helen)

[Motorboat Cruiser]

I graduated from the Musician's Institute in 1984, which I suppose counts as a vocational school. After graduation, I went to community college and, if I recall correctly, earned somewhere around 45-50 units before leaving to work full-time. One of these days, I may just head back and finish up my AA at least.

Do credit hours ever expire, I wonder?

[LSPoorEeyorick]

I've a BFA in theater performance (concentration in directing) and a BA in English (concentration in writing)... but my degrees don't show the 30 or so credit hours in film production and theory that I took (more, in fact, than my husband did - and he has a degree in it from another [very excellent, mind you] film school.)

As it turns out, my degrees have been very useful. Not necessarily in the sense that I can get a job because of them (though I probably have) but because the stuff I learned has been extremely helpful in my current job. Critical thinking, lots of writing, understanding of film and structure... and it'll all be extremely helpful in my goal-job, making films (instead of marketing them, as currently is my daily bread.)

For film or theater would-bees who think they can be successful without film/theater school... well, yes and no. You can't train someone without natural talent to be naturally talented - but you can make them educated about what is good and bad, you can help them improve. On the other hand, what good is natural talent without a solid background in their chosen art? It is the wisdom from my professors (and I KNOW from Tom's, too) that really matters, and is really the core benefit of participating in a film or theater program.

[BarTopDancer]

Do credit hours ever expire, I wonder?

Some, yes. Some, no. Depends on the topic.

I have a BS in Political Science. I considered law school but decided it wasn't for me. Course I don't really use by degree anyways! I'm pretty sure no one wants a disertation on Socrates or Plato.

[Morrigoon]

I'm half tempted to go back for a second bachelor's. I'd like to do an MBA eventually, but don't feel I'm in a good enough spot in my current career to a)make the most of the experience in terms of what positions I could get after school, and b) to get into a decent school, assuming I could afford it, which I can't.

Oh never mind: it's too easy.

[lashbear]

So, what you're saying is that MBC and SCAeagles could make beautiful music together?
