Education

Gacked from [livejournal.com profile] klig. I'd be interested to know what the level of formal education is among my LJ friends. I'm not snobby about education - I'm very well aware that a piece of paper is only part of the story.


[Poll #349908]

Leave details of your areas of study in the comments if you so wish.

Edited to add: I'm sorry I didn't have choices that fit some of the experiences that you have recounted, i.e., still in junior high, still in high school, finished some college but have no plans to complete, etc.

But I just wanted to say that you are all pretty damn impressive. It's been very interesting reading about the wide variety of your education and experience. Thank you, and congratulations to all those of you who have recently completed degrees!

BS in music therapy but no job due to Reaganomics when I graduated; puttered around for a while and discovered I was really good in public relations. I went back to college ten years later and got an MS in public relations.

I'm now working as a journalist, which is a lot more interesting than doing PR. I started working on a master's in public administration but abandoned it when I discovered I had zero interest in finishing the degree or ever working in the field.
