What is your highest academic degree or level or level of education?

[msc545]

I'm just curious to know if people on GaG value education as much as they seem to...

[Not_Average]

MS Mechanical Engineering. I don’t value traditional education much at all to be honest. I could have self taught myself everything with the help of some self selected mentors. I would have done it much quicker and could have saved a lot of money. I admittedly failed so many technical interviews after my bachelors because I was never taught application. I even had to get some secondary education in drafting technology just to pass some of these interviews. I had a good time in college, but I hate how society values aptitude when it comes to professional career paths. Such a time consuming and expensive hurdle.

@WowwGirl no. I’m a J. D. Juris Doctor. Three years of very difficult schooling followed by a bar exam instead of a thesis.

[Paige90]

[WowwGirl]

My first degree was in Economics. I finally graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor's.
My second was in Mechanical Engineering, and that was from SU.

I took courses from a variety of colleges on a part-time basis while I was in the service, when I could, and after. It took me 10 years to get my first degree.

[DaveToo]

I have never felt the need to go back for a Masters's or Ph. D. Both of my girls' joke that I'm the dumb one of the family.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Oh yes, I value education alright. I even have a DVD in Sociology.

[OlderAndWiser]

When I was at Emory, we joked that fathers sent their daughters there to get a M. R. S. degree.

[exitseven]

I hold two Masters Degrees. 1 in Computer Science the other in Technology Management

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Bachelor's, with plans for at least one Masters in the next 5-10 years.

[msc545]

@Orangeandturquoise That is a JD - a law degree. Still impressive!

[Elliegirl]

It’s not a Ph. D. It’s a J. D. It’s a law school degree.
