It's been almost two years since this question was asked. By me, anyway.

The answer's the same for me: College graduate, B.A. in German, B.S. in Computer Science. I imagine, though, that even with our reduced population, the curve will shift down towards the more advanced degrees.

Though, it could be that only idiots remain.

I honestly do not know if I have a highschool degree.

A college I applied for said I do, a job I applied for said I don't, and all my important papers are still in Georgia.

I've completed another 2 years of school that don't add up to any new degrees (a year of full-time French language instruction, and a year of what amounts to grad school in Paris).

Some college.

I should have graduated college years ago, but I keep dropping out because to this day I haven't quite made up my mind what I want to do, which makes going to any class seem meaningless.

Right now I'm looking at an English degree (I'd kinda like to write for a gaming magazine or maybe work for a publishing house) from a little community college; I've got most of the actual English requisites finished so when I start going again I'll have to take out the math and science requisites BEFORE THEY TAKE ME OUT.

EDIT: Wait, what? Tribes tag?

More or less in the same boat as you.

I'd love to go into professional cooking and become a chef, cooking is my passion, but I don't handle hectic situations well and a busy kitchen is one of the most hectic workplaces on the planet.

I started coming here during the summer between sixth and seventh grade, right after I got hooked on Everquest. I failed five classes that year.

Now I'm headed to Florida Atlantic University this Spring after taking a bit of time to get out on my own and stabilize my life and I graduated High School with a 3.1

They consider me a college junior now, although it's toward a General Studies degree. I haven't been able to take my chem or bio requirements and I'm considering switching to a community college to get those out of the way. I have to work, and the only time the college offers chem and bio is in the morning at like 9am. No way I could work it out with my work to miss like half the day twice a week (or more if I managed to get both chem and bio).

Still looking toward the astronomy major, though.

My current internship makes me just want to keep working, because having money is cool, and I'm actually a little less busy at work than I was while juggling classes.

No, sir. I have no idea how to answer the poll, because I have a juris doctor but that's not really a doctorate but it's more than a master's.....

I won't even try to determine what to do with that semester of seminary a couple years back....

Teach normal people to cook at a cooking school. It can be pretty decent pay and the kitchen goes at your pace (if you're the instructor). Plus there's always free food at the end. I did it on the side during college, though it wasn't for me in the long run.

I wonder why a J.D. doesn't earn you the title 'doctor'. As far as I know, all other doctorates do.

I still havent decided what to do when I grow up.

Maybe I'll pick up my associates in electronic engineering since I only have a couple credits to get for a degree from Embry-Riddle, but its not like it would do much for me, practically.

I'm considering going to law school. It would give me viable skills on the outside at least.

Also considering teaching English. I dunno.
