Your Education Level

[Wotan]

I asked this question on the old board and got some interesting answers.
  Was interested in seeing how things have changed since then.  I'll go first.

  I have a M.Sc. in Reproductive Immunology and Andrology in Non-Domestic Carnivores, and I also have an honours B.Sc. in Mammalian Physiology with a major in theriogenology, and minors in analytical biochemistry and molecular biology.  I also have a B.A. in bio-ethics with a minor in psychology and sociology.

  My alma mater for all three of these degrees was the University of Guelph.


  How about you?

[Riley]

Currently attending Secondary School, however. I do plan on attending university. I don't know for what yet, but it's something I'd want to do.

[Kesarra]

A.S. in Math/Science and most of the courses for a B.S. in Environmental Science.

[slickdelray]

Currently in Grade 11, but I plan on getting either a Bachelor's or Masters in Aerospace Engineering from Carleton University.

[Wotan]

Where is the highschool option? or is it labeled as something I don't understand?

  High School is part of the fifth answer option.  Take another look.  Also keep in mind that the poll question asks about what level of education you have completed, so if you haven't yet completed, there isn't an answer option.

[Pilot]

Graduated from highschool.
That's as far as I'm going.

[Do a Barrel Roll!]

XD I graduated from High School just this year, and I'm currently taking a two year certificate course in Funeral Services at my University.  Go me!

[Wolfgang]

I am still in high school XD. I am going to be going into engineering and try to get my masters.

[turbocarl]

graduated from a professionnal education but I'm currently in college since I didn't like the job

[Drewdle]

Graduated from school five years ago.

Post-secondary education is an interesting conundrum. On one hand, I whole-heartedly disagree that post-secondary education should be paid for by the student. I would much rather see a system like that of some European countries where your post secondary education is paid for by the State. I would not be unwilling to work to the benefit of my country for a few years to pay them back for such a concession.

Alas, this is not likely to happen. So, in the meantime, I have discovered with my five years of retail experience that the corporate world of the consumer is not for me, and there is very little else you can procure as a profession without an education. Thus, I have decided to go to school for Journalism/Creative Writing/English, as I enjoy writing and reading immensely. I'm not sure what I'll do with it when I get out, but I'll worry about that when my government loans come crashing down on me.

When I got out of high school, I figured I wouldn't want to go back, and that I'd find a way to make it work. Unfortunately, the deck is rather stacked against these hopes.

Graduated highschool this year, and not bad considering im only 17, but im hoping to get my journeyman's ticket in Heavy Duty Mechanics.

In my third year of University right now, studying for a degree in... something. I'm essentially stumbling around and flinging money at the school in the hopes of procuring a degree that I don't intend to use. Why? Well, I might change my mind about wanting it. Then I'll go back and get something (hopefully) more useful.

I attended a public school very briefly when I was young, then it was a homeschooling program for the rest of the way. Trained in a recording studio to become an audio engineer, learned the technical terms for the stuff I was already doing, and decided I didn't want to do that full-time. Now I do art+music for games for a living, occasionally putting on the 'mixing/mastering engineer' hat on the side. Just contacts and a positive attitude-- I'm not 'certified' to do much, but I do a hell of a lot anyway.

Since I've had a number of complaints, I've added a sixth reply on the poll before things spill into a heavy dose of butthurt on this thread.  The sixth option is for those, who haven't completed any formal education other than in the "University of Life Experience".

  Just to be clear to everyone...

  This poll is NOT about "elitism", or trying to claim that more highly-educated people are somehow "superior".  It's about general interest in the demographics of this board, and nothing more.  If there is further need to debate about the "value" or "need" for education, could we please put that in a different thread?
  Thanks for your cooperation.

[Methadone]

I did my highschool. Went to Hairschool. Dropped out of hairschool, moved to Vancouver, did an apprenticeship. Screw that, moved home. Decided to work on music because I like it. I guess.

Moved to Edmonton.

I'M A BEAUTY SCHOOL DROP OUT.

Grace:  Really?  We should chat..

Currently taking a bit of a break from an 'ecology and environmental biology' degree to work on fursuits.  It's interesting; I'm glad I went, and I'll certainly finish the degree, but if I weren't so into biology I'd completely be apprenticing for a trade.  Hands-on, and a lot of them have great benefits and good wages, etc.  But truly, there's so much opportunity in all sorts of directions if you just work towards where you want to be.  (Or where you think you want to be.)

Well, to some extent. I went in for an English degree, then decided to risk getting one for creative writing instead, then realized that I'm terrible at reviewing other people's work, which accounts for more than half of the grades, switched back to English, determined that I don't really want to be an English major, and am now in the process of switching to a general arts major. I don't imagine I can do much with it, so I'll be getting a diploma in fashion design after graduating, then possibly attending Okanagan College for a business degree. I really do have a plan; it's just painfully convoluted.

[Lady Serpent]

Ahh..  Well that's good, then. 

If you get really stuck, you can always get on with me as a fursuit maker. 

[wolffers]

completed high school
some cegep in the field of media arts, and creative arts languages and litterature

[Reyus]

Grade 10 so far, currently taking up the Science 11 (Phys, Chem, Bio) courses at school.

Planning to finish Secondary and enter Uni (UBC); probably will take science-related courses and after four years, hopefully get accepted into a med. school.

Long story short, I'm hoping to enter med. school and specialize in something, probably oncology/neurology. Whatever works though.
