What is Your Highest Level of Academic Achievement?

What do you want, bro? It's GLP. Take it or leave it.



If partying was a major, that was my major, too. I just managed to make it through the full four years without collapsing...barely. I dropped my original poli-sci major because of the libs. It's hard for a professor to be too leftist in the business school, and I got lucky getting myself into the one Austrian school Econ professor's classes. He got fired shortly thereafter for banging a student on a boat. :banansex:

A B.A. I should have gone to trade school, but High School guidance counsellors were urging me to go to college, saying it would be a waste of a fine intellect.

I spent my years in college arguing with Liberal professors and students about all their nonsense. I suppose that had its value. Know your enemy.

A couple of professors urged me to continue to get a masters in comparative literature or literature, but I couldn't imagine taking on tens of thousands of dollars in debt for such a useless degree. Especially if it meant working for the rest of my life in the liberal establishment.

By graduation, I wanted out of the whole wretched college scene. I hadn't made any friends, and I made too many enemies.

Building houses would have been more fun.

If I had kids, I would strongly urge them against going to college, unless they were dead certain they wanted to be a doctor or lawyer, or some such thing.

There are much better ways to make a living.

not taking S.A.T.'s so someone can assess my intelligence.

My exwife has a degree in industrial arts. She is qualified to teach auto-tech, but she can't change her own oil without fucking it up. She has had some really nice jobs as executive assistant, and office manager. They always ask if she has a degree, and she proudly tells them "YES". They never ask what kind of degree, so she doesn't tell them.

That's probably for the best. "They" might put you in some kind of cointel program, against your will, if you test too high, or send you to a camp in Nebraska somewhere for reeducation.

god love the lassie for her honesty

3 1/2 years college and I got a job offer with a semester to go. 35 years later I still need to finish up!

5 Meter bronze swimming certificate.

bachelor of science for me...

STEM degrees are the way to go in college. Everything else is just a waste of money and time.

Intergalactic Space-Time Universal Mind Traveler Spiritual Being ! 3rd Grade Honor Roll . Still sniff gas and glue .

I'd 3 out of 4 years done. What a waste :-)

How you doing anyway? Recuperated? :-)


What about you? Did you study? I know you're a bookworm :-)

Doctor Jurisprudence

i remember putting in well over 200 resumes in 1991 before i got my first job, but it took 8 months.

preschool

I think you can assume this response is some form ofpost high school education

or how much you memorized for a test.

funny how polls like this forget about apprenticeships. those don't count as vocational schools.

Right out of high school, I was hired by the local electric utility, there was a lineman shortage back then as there is now. In three months I was making more than my dad. In 4 years I was making more than most lawyers and way more than my hs classmates who went to college. With the exception of one girl who became a judge, I was still making more than the ones that I kept track of, when I retired early, two years ago.

Didn't know that was a thing anymore. Sorry for not including you, and congrats on your success and retirement.

:giggle:

Excellent :-)

To the person that said I "see self employment in your future. I technically have been self employed part time since 1989. Thank you! Your very right.
Thanks for the information! I should have included that I am by no means waiting for someone to employ me. I have a pension from my old job and also I have been an antiquarian book dealer for many years. I was taught this business back in the 80s and it has served as a part time job ever since. I have an "eye" for value and can make hundreds per month but in order to make "thousands" you really must have money to out bid others at auctions.
Value is interesting. I bought paintings, prints, books, games, and anything I believed was of value. It generally has worked well. This is the real value in a Humanities education, it enhances on what I know in Literature, etc. As to that guy from the UK that spoke about "slaves". Well, I worked in factories too from the time I was 16. Working in a factory is not a job, it is "repetition" work. Boring, mindless, and is the main reason I pursued an education. I have worked everything from building fences for a fence company, to dishwashing in a restaurant kitchen ala' George Orwell, I see nothing laughable about that! As to the UK, don't you have enough problems in Londonstan?

Partial completion of a Ph.D. would not be considered post grad work. A post-doc is considered post graduate.

My vote # is 666

how do you know that they wont go bankrupt and wipe out her plan? SHTF

They already assessed your intelligence back in grade school. You just didn't know it.

I wonder if this is how conspiracies start?

"by myself", "nature" "smoking drugs", "I get everything on my own"

There should be an option for "High School Graduate".

I haven't read the entire thread, so sorry if this was already mentioned.

P.S. - A college educated person would have caught this.
