Re: What is Your Highest Educational Achievement?
How come you didn't have a:

"Some college, but dropped out"

and

"Two-year Associate Degree"

in the poll?

16% of epople here have doctorates and another 25% Masters. I really dont fucking think so


16% and 25% of non-Blank responders to the poll.

Maybe those people are more likely to answer the question?

Re: What is Your Highest Educational Achievement?
High School. Then, I went to cosmetology school. I hated doing that, no benefits and people were bitchy, so I started doing office work. Did that until I got married, then stopped to raise my children.

Taught myself to use the computer and many other skills during my time at home.

Since then, we bought a farm. I was the General Contractor when we built our house. This was really exciting work. I enjoyed working with the subcontractors and did a lot of hands on work on the house and property. I actually learned how to build log buildings and we have built several for animal housing.

I also manage the farm and work with animal genetics. I had to learn about all of the animals we work with, as I grew up in the city and knew nothing about raising livestock. I have taken several college classes on Ag management, pasture management and animal diseases.

I'm self taught in many areas of medicine and veterinary practices and am able to administer shots and other types of care to the animals.

I believe you never stop learning. School just provides the basics necessary to send you on a lifelong journey in the world of education. I know some extremely intelligent people who could not do half of the things I do and yet, on paper, I am just a HS grad.

In the end, if SHTF, I believe I will have more sought after skills than most college graduates and I have most of my education at low cost, or free.

You betcha! We bought our farm 8 years ago and I do more with it than my PhD, lol (although the PhD helped pay for it ;)

I do a lot of my own veterinary care, including sutures, shots, and even repositioned an injured filly's prolapsed rectum - what fun! She's doing great, btw. She had an injury/accident and was down. Even though no broken bones, the vet gave her 10% that she would get back up. Me and hubby lifted her every day for 2 weeks using a loader and old tractor inner tubes, chains (she's about 400#). She is running and kicking again -- gorgeous blood bay Arabian, just like daddy. Farms and animals are a lot of work but it's so great - like a little world of your own. Great place to be when TSHTF...
 Quoting: GirlGenius



Sounds like fun! My favorite was a lamb that was born in the dead of winter, in below 0 temperatures. She had frostbite on her tail, ear tips and one hoof. I did take her to the vet for foot surgery. Her tail was docked, so it didn't matter, but her foot was pretty bad.

She had to have a toe removed and couldn't go back out to the field. She became my baby. I had to hand rear her for the rest of the winter. She was like a puppy. She slept by my bed and followed me everywhere. She cried if I was out of her sight.

Luckily, by the time she outgrew adult Depends, it was warm enough to move her outside, but she would run for the door everytime she was out of her pen. I would take her for walks, without a leash and she would follow me anywhere. I even took her to visit a retirement home. What a sweetie!

Anyway, last winter, she got pneumonia and died and I cried like a little baby. I guess her lungs were frostbitten, too. So sad... I still miss her.

Re: What is Your Highest Educational Achievement?
In fifth grade I had a great English teacher. She pushed us really hard; by the end of the year we had mastered grammar, spelling, outlines, poetry meter, memorization of long poems and speeches, sentence structure (even diagramming sentences), library research, footnotes, and writing a thesis. I never had to pay the slightest bit of attention in another English class; straight A without cracking a book. And everyone in that fifth-grade class learned it.

My senior year in HS I made spending money writing papers for the other kids. In college I tutored English comp for two years as a work-study job, without ever taking an English course there or at any other college.

Truth be told, I think I knew more at the end of fifth grade than many of the kids in my high school knew at graduation, mostly because of one excellent teacher who pushed us hard.

Re: What is Your Highest Educational Achievement?
It was important for the era of mass communication and easy access and dissemination of knowledge for this concept of "truthless reality" to be advanced and propagated by the top thinkers, otherwise we would have all known the Ancient Mysteries by 1975, which is way off schedule... hf


Is there a specific reason why 1975?

I figured that's about the length of time it would take to have a One World if we went straight there from 1865 and didn't mess about with the missteps necessary to account for human nature and development... :(

I have numerous writers awards which hang on my wall. Of course they are from my second grade teacher Mrs. Morgan who only handed out GWC's (good writers club awards) to the best and brightest. That may have been 35 years ago but its still a very proud acheivement in the literary world.
