What is the highest level of education you have achieved?

You can become a mechanical engineer without getting the degree.

Conversely, I would also like to know what I'm doing. I mean, I could forego the degree, but then shit might go south when they ask me why the particle accelerator isn't working, and I'm too busy speed reading my ass through the "introductory to engineering" handbook to answer.

Interesting, that's four people with PostDoc experience - that would be @matthunter, myself, and who else?

B.S.

If I had unlimited money, I would be a student forever. I would learn a few languages, medicine, international business law....aaaand I think studying dreams and sleep disorders would be cool, too.

A few years ago I got into this masters program in Ireland for Human Sexuality. It sounded so interesting but at the end of the day I just couldn't justify the additional debt for something like that.

I guess I have the professional equivalent. About 12 years total of academics, research, preclinical and clinical experience, board exams and licensure.

You might enjoy Vermont. The area around Norwich is rural, but I doubt you'd like the cold.

Yeah, but engineers won't take you seriously. Certifications are SRS BSNS!

It's not me, I just ended up with a real job.

Yeah, it'll take decades to do that. I had an uncle who did it that way and it would have been vastly faster for him to have gone to college to get his degree, than to work his way up through the system like he did. Even with a mechanical engineering degree it takes years before you're fully certified and people in industry take you seriously.

I have, roughly, 7 years of college and 4 years of trade school. My majors in college have been: Psychology, English, and Engineering, my trade school training was in Machine Tool Technology (i.e. how to be a machinist).

This thread is from 2009 so probably people who are no longer here. Who knows why Chris bumped this particular thread 4/5ths of a decade later. It seems daft to me.

It was brought up in another thread.

Here? Link?

I have a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and am currently pursuing a Masters degree in the same discipline. Interestingly enough, I have no real focus, which is somewhat unusual as MEs go, I'm told.

lol

I could probably get a bachelor's if I put some money into it, and got a good conversion on life credits. I have a number of computer certs plus experience to go along with them. By the time IT was looking for college degrees to accompany certifications and experience I had already blown up my career so I never bothered. College is overrated for certain technical fields.

really? When I get old you can change my diaper, but I'm guessing I can get somebody to do it cheaper.

I have a degree in Computer Science.

I've been toying with the idea of doing a masters degree in History, just because. Not sure it will give me any benefit other than by virtue of the fact that I would enjoy it and think I could do it. Anyone else gone down this road?

What's this "when" crap?

I have an Associate degree and am pursuing a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering.

I'm going to ask you agree we change your user name to 'Herr Doktor'

I have a BS in Geography, with a Minor in Music. I'm thinking about going back for my graduate studies.

Do you mostly do GIS?

Magistra (Mag. rer.soc.oec. in Economics) That's an academic title from before the Bachelor/Master system was established EU wide. It's basically a Master degree and I never worked in the field for even a single day.

I also finished a BA in Political Science three years ago which I earned while working full time with a small child. Thinking about an MA in PS because why not. Would help with the job I'm gunning for in the long run.

I don't work in my field

I have a PhD in Anal Probery.

of the ass?

14 semesters worth of post secondary, most of it in art and design disciplines. Two certificates, no diplomas. Was in a program that would've lead to a degree at one point, but didn't get that far.

@John
I made it through seven semesters of design fundamentals and industrial design before leaving for monetary reasons (didn't qualify for student loans). If something similar is available to you, explore it. The skills I learned there have served me in everything from construction to silversmithing to rebuilding motorcycles.

I done graduated 6th grade! So what do ya wanna hear....times or gazintas? Three gazinta six two times, three gazinta twelve four times.....

Of otters?
