[Halo is Back]

Was curious to see the highest level of education on this site so I made this poll. (Go easy on me this is my first poll guys)


Anyways, I will complete my Bachelor's in Psychology at the end of this year and then move on to my Master's next year.

 

[DESTROYA]

Graduated the school of hard knocks , due to some unforeseen factors I never graduated college but I’m more successful then 90% of the people I know that did go to college and graduate.

 

[Papa]

I have a doctorate in being a sick cunt

 

[Rentahamster]

I put the square blocks on the round hole.

Spoiler

in middle school

 

[GAMETA]

I have a barchelor in Industrial and Graphic Design.

 

[mcz117chief]

Master's degree in Catholic Theology (I work for the archdiocese as a teacher if anybody wants to know what I do with that kind of degree)

 

[Mista]

Got my license in aviation and now I’m an aircraft engineer

 

[Elektro Demon]

It's a different system where I'm from.
You have 8 years of school. After that you have to choose what field you want. Then you go to school for another 4 years (highschool) in that field you chose. After that you can go working or continue education ie go to college.
I went into lineman school and my trade is electrician/distribution lineman. I worked as an electrician for a bit, then I got into security and worked as a technician. I'm still in that field. I also have certifications as a welder (acetilene/oxygen), security technician and solar panel technician.
I'm trying to get into this local distribution company, I'm interested in that.
So my level of education is high school, I guess.

 

[Thaedolus]

Bachelor’s. English degree because I figured I could pass math 1050. People mock that degree, but I make six figures so

 

[Sakura]

Will be dropping out of uni soon so highschool for me!

Wouldn't that be trade school? So high school and then going to a special school to learn a job at a non-academic level?

When you finish those mandatory 8 grades of school you have a choice. You can either go into trade schools or gymnasiums. They both last 4 years.
I also had history, arts, language, science, biology in my trade school. It's a different system.
But it's generally thought of like this. It's expected that you go to college after you finish gymnasium.
It's not expected that you go to college when you finish trade school. But you can if you want to.

Medical and pharmaceuticals, get into QA and Regulatory. EU has lost their goddamn minds with MDR, meaning there’s lots of work to do

 

[Constant Flux]

I have a barchelor in Industrial and Graphic Design.

Barchelor? I’m edumucated too, bro!

Seriously, though... Just High School. However, I’d love to go to art school to become a graphic designer or maybe work in the tech field.

So you don't need any expertise in any sort of a medical field?

 

[Thaedolus]

So you don't need any expertise in any sort of a medical field?

No, you do need expertise, but my expertise has come from a decade of experience on the job. My laughable English degree got me in the door making $12/hr writing reports right out of college. Ten years later I am where I am because of the experience and work. Except for very specialized stuff, most of the education you’ll get comes after college...though if I had to do it all over again I’d go for a biomedical engineering degree.

[AV]

Bachelor's, and it was a colossal waste of time considering I learned more on the job in 2 weeks (programmer) than I did in 3 years of Uni.

It's literally just a £9000 piece of paper that helps you get your foot in the door.

Joe Rogan podcast?

For a couple of years, my state department of Education required a Master’s degree...so I got that. Now the state says that was overkill. I make a pretty good living as a teacher, but when friends or family with a high school diploma compare their income with mine, it’s pretty sad.

the state does that shit all the time

 

[slugbahr]

the state does that shit all the time

But does it need to wipe afterwards is the real question

 

[Son Tofu]

HVAC/Plumbing trade school and a Bachelors in management with a minor in marketing.

The certs I got from trade school have been FAR more beneficial in my career.

 

[pauljeremiah]

Have a Master Degree in English Literature and over the past twenty years I have done via night courses and have Bachelor Degrees in Business Management, Digital Marketing and Logistics Management, I am currently in process of getting a degree in Human Resource management.

 

[Amory]

BS, MBA

Never goin back

 

[Barnabot]

"i have double major in gender studies" you suckers.

[Mista]

Not a good idea. May I know why?

 

[Birdo]

I have a degree in media.

I've been unemployed for over eight years

 

[Sakura]

I can't afford it.

 

[Chairman Tickles]

Two bachelor degrees in STEM. Computing and Science.

And it was all for naught. I'm off doing something unrelated.

 

[bucyou]

engineering degree yet i earn my wealth in finance

 

[Mista]

I can't afford it.

Sorry to hear that mate. Wish you all the best

 

[ThatStupidLion]

always considered masters/phd but my career doesnt really dictate the need for it. I am however interested in getting more schooling once my kids are adults.

 

[appaws]

BA and MA in history
ABD in American History, African American History, and American Religion. Passed doctoral exams in all 3, but then bailed and went to Law School. Got my JD. University of Kentucky. Bo Big Blue!!!

I have a half done doctoral dissertation on the Civil Rights Movement in West Michigan....and I have, until recently, kept in touch with my committee and thought of finishing it up. But fuck, I'm 45 and would rather use my free time leveling guys to 999 in Disgaea and collecting old film cameras than writing.

 

[Son Tofu]

I can't afford it.

You don't have access to loans or grants?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

[synchronicity]

I'm sure some get the reference, lol.

Interesting where do you live?

 

[MetalAlien]

I'm a greenbelt.

 

[Sakura]

Nope. I work 200~220 hours a month, but it's still not enough money, and I am tired of it.

 

[TindalosPup]

My education is a combination of three choices, my high school was vocational, so I graduated with my diploma and a certification in Environmental Science, to gauge a little more of my education I also took Advanced Placement in high school. so I technically started college early. I took a break for 4 years (my family started dropping like flies) and now I'll be graduating next year with a Bachelors in Natural Resources and Conservation. But for now all I have to show is my HS Diploma (my voke certification doesn't really count for a whole lot because continued education is mandatory)

If I get my way, I'll be attending the Ranger Academy to become a Park Ranger or Game Warden in the next year or two c:

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

My brother has a master’s degree from Yale, I dropped out of a local state college after a little over 3 semesters.

I’m the disappointing one, but it’s cool. I came to terms with that long ago.

I’ve enjoyed working with students and young athletes most of my adult life, even if just for an hourly wage.

What do you do?

 

[pennythoughts]

I picked the joke response, can't help it.

I'm a college student getting everything covered by the GI Bill (did 6 years in mil Intel/aviation).

Ohio.

Governor Strickland made it required to get a Master’s in order to teach, then Kasich came in and put it back to requiring a Bachelor’s degree.

I’ve been in education for 16 years and this back and forth goes on quite often.

 

[Airola]

Bachelor's degree in film and media since 2012.

And I can somewhat relate to this:

I have a degree in media.

I've been unemployed for over eight years

Odd jobs and projects here and there, a bit of something every year, but zero stable jobs for eight years now. I'm ok with that though.
