Level of Education

[BloodEclipse]

Ok I was reading the post about punctuation. In it, Dogman pointed out that we have different levels of education on the forum. This will be a private poll. You can comment if you like, but it is not required.

Two things.

1. Where's the poll?
2. Education means nothing if the quality of education was below par. There are people with college degrees who can't spell, punctuate, or know the difference between accept and except.

Ok, so make that three things.
3. My husband is known for lousy spelling and punctuation. (And capitalizing words that don't need it.) He has a college education. He is also dyslexic.

Me: I have a GED.

The forum posts the thread before the poll is created. It is up now.

I grew up near downtown Indy. We had only like a 30% graduation rate where I went to school. I feel lucky to have graduated. My son will goto a better school and get chances I didnt have. I have ensured this. Some of us never had the luck. If I can get the financial aid Im planning to do some business school.

I didn't graduate HS even though I made it to my second semester of my Senior year. Mostly because I hate Plainfield and didn't want a diploma from here, but also because I was so far behind from being a hoodlum I didn't care. I got my GED though. Passed it with a C+ average without studying after a year out of school.

After that I attended ITT Tech for 2 years only to not pass all my classes and have to pay money I didn't have to stay in school. Didn't learn Shat there either.

I self-educated myself over the years outside of school and still learning everyday because that's what it's all about.

Strong points: Math History Computers and Study Hall!

I am currently in my Junior year here at IU. I'm in the Kelley school of Business, and plan on majoring in entrepreneurship. I also plan on going to law school after graduation.

before I answer, would a graduate degree be 5+ years of college or other?

 

[rhino]

I inferred from the available choices that graduate and professional degrees to fell into the "5+ years of college" category.

Of course, the point is moot to me as I am uneducated.

i believe that would make you an "other".

That is what I was thinking too, but graduate and professional degrees aren't really "college," so I thought I would ask. Though my school was called the College of Law. I am voting 5+ years college. On the other hand, 5+ years college could make you Van Wilder.

I am an "other" based on virtually any criteria suitable for categorizing humanity.

I am, in fact, the "other" with whom others do not play well.

I graduated in the upper 1/3 of my class at a very large school.

I do however hold a PHD in street smarts and common sense.

 

[Pami]

I voted 5+ years, too... I kept changing majors...

Started with a double in Journalism/Spanish, changed to a double in Comp Sci/Applied Math with a minor in Spanish, got married, moved to Texas, got divorced, moved back to Indy, got married again, doubled in Website Design/Software Applications Programming (actually finished those two), and then went back *again* for a double in Business Management/Marketing. One of these days I'll get around to finishing those last five classes I need. Or I'll change majors again.
