Do you have a degree?
 

The College for All thread got me thinking.

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

Multiple Guess and anonymous.

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

BFA in Communications: Film/TV Production
:)

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

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

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.

I'm up to 4 degrees.

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

Yes please.

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

Wow - me too!!!

And I also checked "boobies."

Yes. Now you are super-cool.

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

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 Technically I have an AA as well, but that is superseded by the BS.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

no

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).

Yes

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.

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)

I use Old Spice.

Who's the PhD in the joint?

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

That would be 3894 (AKA Helen)

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?

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.

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

AA Liberal Studies
BS Psychology
BS Human Development

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.

And these were just as preparation for marrying me.

AAs in the hiz-ouse!

Isn't Political Science BS by nature? ;)

I have a BA (Comparative Literature) and a BS (Business Administration/Accounting).

BA Communications (Broadcast Journalism)

I use the communications management skills I learned all the time, in work and the world at large.

BS Electrical Engineering

BA Double Major Philosophy & Communication Studies + a CRM credential.

I must be pretty immature because I cannot see BS without giggling.

BA (English lit)
BA (History)
MLIS
JD

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.

Wow! I've only one of those.

BS 96 - Civil engineering with environmental focus
MS 97 - Environmental engineering
Both from Stanford (hence the screenname)

I am currently working as an environmental engineer.

Not sure how to classify it in the USA heirachy of things, but I am a man of letters. Ass. Dip. (Arts) in Library Practice to be precise.

BA Music Theory/Composition

Seriously.

You're kidding.

I would not say such things if I were you!

Nope- not yet but plan to go back to school. Yes I do.

*sigh*

You compose music? I didn't think conservative wingnuts did that.
:D

I kid.

But I do think that is very cool.
:)

:D

coming from someone who has never used their BSEE degree.

Used to. Haven't done anything is quite a while....nothing on paper since college.

Does MBC know about this? You would share a common interest.

Well, another one.

You should point to the desired outfield section with your bat before you hit those.

"It was a deep, penetrating drive to..."


Oh never mind: it's too easy.

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

Everytime I see this thread's title, I think: Yuh, I have a black belt in Awesome.

When you have two teenage girls, you tend to talk this way.

I've had many more than two teenage girls and I don't talk that way.

















How long until I am lynched?

Do you have a degree?
 

AA Antelope Valley Community College 1995. At lesast i got something out of community college (school was not for me).

Wasn't this taken care of already?

<yells> Hey, who dropped the ball here? This guy was supposed to be lynched ages ago! Helllloooo!

<mutters> If you want something done right.... *grabs a rope*

Degree in progress. I'm still in school :( But I finish in July!
