Education

[pegkerr]

Gacked from 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.

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!

I have a Master's in human genetics. It was supposed to be a PhD -- and I finished all the coursework and comps to become a doctoral candidate -- but my life at the time was particularly annoying and my faculty were far less than supportive, so I bailed. I still peddle the sheepskin in getting jobs: "I know genetics and biology in general really well, please hire me, O Most Pecunious Pharmaceutical Company or somewhat less pecunious company that provides services to pecunious pharma companies."
