    Oh, and you have a liberal "bent". Why aren't you red yet? :rolleyes:

    The good liberals all seem to be green. It's the morons who are red, and deservedly so.

    I have a degree in, "I'm smarter than you." Those that were smarter than me, well, I shoved a knife up their ass (betwixt the six and seventh vertebrae) and ate them as BBQ.

    Did I miss you or... :bergman:

    Went to Uni and left after 2 years, not really for me at that time of my life. May go back in a decade or so.

    I still do evening courses every now and then, should be starting a course in Japanese later this month.

    University drop out :unsure: Since then, I worked for a local newspaper. Now I'm working in a home for the aged, getting a degree a a carer for the elderly. Will be another three years until I get the degree, though. However, I'm quite happy with my job. :) Honorable work. Working as a journalist was NOT honorable work.

    When you work for a small newspaper which wants to be "neutral" and friend with everybody in town, you have to kiss everybody's ass. When I wrote a controversal article, I was told off by the editor in chief. Fuck that shit. Many journalists are whores.

    Now that I can agree with fully. Most journalists are whores and are not worthy of the title journalist.

    Four-year degree here, with no desire to get a masters or doctorate.

    I do however have a certificate degree in viticulture and enology. :D (wine making and vine growing) They were two year certifications.

    How is that a rep wine?

    Overuse of a smilie only lessens the importance of it when it is necessary. It's kind of like women who cry rape when it really wasn't, so when a woman is really raped, no one cares.

    Ha. I know what you mean, I've got about a thousand of those damned certificates from every military avionics course offered while I was in.

    ... well, maybe not a thousand.

    I completed a four year degree in . . . only eight years! :soma: That was almost five years ago. I was pretty burned out on school at the time, but now I'm getting ready to go back for a master's. :whoopdedoo:

    I'm going to try for PhD in environmental science or environmental chemistry. They're growing fields so here should be semi-secure employment in that area.

    I have the equivalent of an associate degree. That is I have 61 (62 depending on some sources) credit hours just edging me into associate level, but no actual brick & mortar degree. But my son is well on his way to being the first person in our family to have an actual four-year degree! :cool: He'll never earn as much as me, but that doesn't matter - he's single and doesn't need to make as much anyway - but I'm very proud of him.

    I have some college experience, though very little. I would love to attend college full time and get a mechanical engineering degree, because I love to change things.

    I have a B.S.B.A. with the 128 college credit hours. Plus 15 credit hours of additional study I undertook over the years for various reasons.

    There are a number of degrees I would like to obtain. Economics, military history, public administration, criminal justice. The only one I've looked at much was the military history degree with Norwich University.
