I've heard it mentioned that we are largely an educated crowd so I thought I'd see what the polls say.

I'm still in ing school(he says with hateful tone in his voice).
(Alright, first place!)

Have an associates, working on my bachelors. I'm going to be getting a masters, but since I don't know my exact specialization right now I'm not sure in exactly what.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Most days I wish I had taken something different.

High school. I'm too argumentative to have spent more time than that sitting around trying to absorb information.

I am still at school.Still have have 3 years of high school left.Don't know if I will go on to study after that.

I graduated on time with vocational learning - Auto front end and brakes.

Still in secondary school.

Will soon have a Bachelor's in Biology.

The two biggest seem to be "finished education" and "about to start my education". That definitely fits with what I see around me. Either twenty-somethings, way underage, or 35+ veterans.

Mechanical Engineering. That's why I like da orksies! I get to use my degree when I build stuff for my army.

im in the process of doing a degree in games and interactivity, once the next semester starts we'll be doing 3d modelling and such.... E-Space Marine here i come

JD although eventually I'd like to do at least a master's in something else, possibly theology.

What do we put if we're still in College/University? I'm going into year six of University in the fall and I've almost got my Bachelor's degree.

Should I put "Bachelor's or similar" (as I've almost got it) or "Other"?

Lessee - high school dropout - finishing bachelors, 8 year career in industrial graphics, 10 years in telecommunications network engineering (T1 to OC circuits). My best Man is a PhD in Neuropharmacology, His wife a PhD in Sociology, My (non-spouse) roommate is a PhD in Chemical Engineering for Wyeth. It might be osmosis leaching into me.

Still in school. Will graduate in December with a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Engineering Technology. The following Spring I could graduate with an Associates in Computer Aided Drafting and an Associates in Computer Aided Manufacturing.

Just finished headed to college in the spring.

Just heading to high school and after than into university of some kind.

I'm halfway through high school so I'm 16. I probably will go to college for game designing or music stuff, or just join the military for a while.

Working on an Associates in Linguistics. Should be done here in 8 months.

Double major Bachelor's Degree in History and Public Relations. Wanna move on to Master's and PhD programs though too.

Never a more useless Degree . . . . My own that is.

I've got an A.S. in Electronics which I'm hella barely using.

I've gone back to school and am trying to work on my BS/BA. I'm working on general ed. stuff right now and don't even know what I want to major in... though after the recent book I read I'm wondering if there's a BA for 'Muckraking'.

Who needs an education, join the Gaurd today and see the universe, you'll make the best friends and always have an imperial crown in you pocket...

So come down to the recruit office and sign up for a life of adventure, we promise you wont regret it.

Still in school, doing my scicene GCSE's early next year, intend on going to college then university ^_^

I received a master's in security studies last year.

Graduated high school, did a year of part time college, once I get it together, I'll go full time for music education.

Left school at 17 after taking some partial 6th form stuff, school tbh wasn't something I was ever bothered in.

Didn't know what I wanted to do as a career until I was mid 20's, and even then I'm still not giving it the concentration it probably deserves.

Easily distracted sadly is a term that sums me up well.

trust me, I'm a doctor...

Still in Highschool, where I routinely score principals list with little to no effort. Except last term. Stupid Fething P.E.

I have a Batchelors degree in Sociology and English studies. Going to start a Masters degree in Social Research this year.

going to softmore year

Graduated High School and finished my first year in a Trade

Going into my first year of high school. *Audible Groan*. But there is a bright side. My brothers have left there marks in school well enough for my name to be known by most of the teachers. And a few of the morons who got held back.

15, 1 year of High school left, then hopefully look into an apprentiship with jaguar / landrover, or go to sixth form. Took my maths and science GCSE's a year early, so fingers crossed on my results in August.

BA (hons) Sound and Image Design from a dodgy london drama school...:/

Finished my Bachelors degree in physics 5 years ago at the University of Hertfordshire. Lot of good that did me.

This poll speaks more to the average age of the forum-goer than its educated state.

Finished my PhD in history last year. Have no idea what I'm going to do now

Finished High School, and even started at Uni.

Unfortunately, the Uni politicking and I did not get on, so I bailed, and ended up making money, going out and socialising while my uni friends became pariahs.

They since make more money than me, but many had a crippling debt to pay off before this.

got a semester or two before i have my bachelor of science in digital media (i get to play in 3d models and other such things)

currently take a break to earn the money i need to finish up without taking out student loans

Ah, one subject to go on a Master of Laws (Tax), and a Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Laws under the belt.

I must say I was am a little surprised by the level of education in here. Go Dakka Geeks!!

1 year before Bachelor's is done, then I'm gonna go for Masters, and possibly PhD.

I have a Master of Engineering (MEng) in Biomedical Engineering. I was thinking about doing a PhD in Regenerative Medicine, but I might be taken on at the hospital I work at currently to help run their gait lab, which will be cool.

I think eventually I would like to do a PhD and either gain Chartered Engineer status, or become a qualified Clinical Scientist.

Got my BA, and starting up my MBA next month!

I'm getting close to being a qualified actuary,
our gaming group is pretty educated as things go

1 actuary,
1 analyst (very organised!!)
2 Lawyers (both currently doing Phd's)
And almost all of us are university educated (and those that aren't are not slouches by any means)

So yes,
I would admit that the average gamer in my experience is more educated than the regular populous.

Still in my last year of high school. Two more years to go, what we call college down here. I'm definitely going on to university after my gap year.

Graduated high school 2 years ago, dicked around, started my bachelors', dicked around again, now, I'm fixing to start my Associates in Culinary Arts in September.

Nearly half way through high school and planning on joining the Australian Defense Force. Folllowing Dad's footsteps.

Bachelor of Science in Biology with a marine science focus. Now working in Natural Resource management. Graduated 15 years ago, weird having been out of school longer than some posters have been alive, god I feel old.

I'm in my final year of a BA in Scriptwriting for Film and Television and I've applied for an MA in the same subject.

I'm only doing this course as a formality as I've already sold a script to a company, but I need the Degree to become either a Lecturer or work for WWE in the creative writing Dept.

You know what sucks worse than high school? Mopping urinals. Microwaving burgers. Ripping theatre tickets.
Suck it up and finish. Then get a real job and forget all about that gak long before your ten-year reunion, while you're driving a nice car and living in your own home.

Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice.

going to upper/high school tomorrow

I'm a freshman in college, so I was assuming that the poll was wanting what was the last level you finished

sophomore in college... software engineering degree major.

Graduated 18 (gulp!) years ago with an honours degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

I can just about remember Ohms Law.

High school dropout - Ivy league PhD - college professor trying to figure out how to teach classes on the topics of Space Hulk and Skaven tactics.

I am seriously worried about all this debt. Starting my new course next year after growing bored of engineering. If I see another sinusoidal wave I will shoot myself.

Recently graduated with a 2:1 in English and Creative Writing. I'm now Forgotmytea, BA =D Though this hasn't helped with finding a job yet =(

In the automotive trade training to be a painter........

I'm finishing my game art degree(BA).

MS in Comp Sci, spec in compiler design.

FInished my Masters and Teaching Credential, no energy left for a PhD. How do those find the time/energy is beyond me.

Technical College. I is are an automotive custom painter!

Working on my BA. Have no idea how long it'll take me. Majoring in Psychology.

Finished a BA in Creative Digital Media, but flunked ONE project so I got a 'Diploma of Higher Education' rather than a degree. Not that it matters- no work in the industries I was looking at anyway >_>

Freshman in Highschool. Plan on college.

I have a masters from the school of hard knocks and

a doctorate from the University of life.

Oh, and an NVQ 3 in hospitality and catering.

I'm starting my 2nd year of university this summer majoring in Professional Aviation Flight Technology. I didn't know what to put, so I just put that I have a BA because that's what I'm going to end up with.

I have a Bachelors's degree, but after 15 years I am currently working on a Master's degree and certification for teaching.

associates atm, plan to get my at least my masters. Maybe a PhD

Bio-organic chemistry specialising in poisons. Started doing my bachelors in nanotechnology until I changed course though.

Busy doing my A-levels at the minute but it's pretty soul destroying just really biding my time until im old enough to sign up for the RAF

Giggles,
Mr. Self Destruct

Bachelors...though i (other than my 2 years in Japan) cant say its done a whole hell of alot for me!

I currently hold an AS, thanks to the ridiculously long training I went through in the Army 4 years ago. Pretty useless though. My other credentials matter a lot more.

Hi Sasori
according to the roll over glossary you hold an Arcane Shield Spell!

Is this some Master of the Magical Arts degree that you have?

Indeed, I minored in Necromancy as well. Nothing like a few undead to do chores, take care of the house, and eat any trespassing children.


I think I keep scaring potential employers away. I need to pull a Harry Dresden and start advertising my skills in the newspaper.

hehe

Nothing so arcane for me :(

Well, at least not since trying to get a broom to fetch the water.

LOL ima drop out

im still in secondary school but i stayed on to six form and because of that I now got nearly 10 GCSE's and im soon getting some a levels

6Th grade....................

Dang it...Sorry for the double post guys.

I am almost finished my master's degree and then more than likely it will be onto my doctorate.

I said bachelor's, although slightly preemptively. I have one more semester to go, after which I will have a BA in Medieval Studies (recent focus is primarily on medieval literature, especially Anglo-Saxon language and lit, though I've done a bit of work with medieval political thought, which is more philosophy and theology than political science, really), with a minor in Art History. 40K isn't my only nerdy interest!

[edit] Addendum: A decent bit of this thread means nothing to me, as I'm not terribly familiar with other schooling systems (A-levels for the Brits? Is that the equivalent of the American high school diploma? Associate? Bachelor? I have no idea...) Can we get a conversion chart, or something? I think I'd have a better sense if everyone below college/university-age just listed their age (not the point of this poll, obviously, and therefor not a legitimate suggestion - just a measure of my ignorance), since I really don't know how things translate.

[second edit] I'm an idiot. I just looked back and realized that a poll choice already answered my question. XD

Just got my MS in December. Biotechnology. Yep it works with Orks. Sentient fungus with symbiotic algae and super sexy DNA instruction manual? Someone was tinkering with cells... Awesome! No wonder I switched from Sisters.

I think I just learned something about myself right there. Thanks Dakka!

Major in Business and Marketing as well as Communication arts

I have a Media Arts Minor along with a Economics Minor and a Graphic Design Minor

I am a busy little Dakkaite!

B.S. in Economics.

Masters in Business & Public Administration.

MEng in Aero plus a PGCE.

I have a B.S. in Behavioral Science - Social Work. I also received a commission in the United States Air Force through AFROTC. I'm working on my Masters in Leadership and Management.

Year 8 (technically), though I'm in an accelerated program, so I'm doing a Year 9 Curriculum.

What does a colledge diploma/certificate or whatever count as, that's me.

blak43 wrote:What does a colledge diploma/certificate or whatever count as, that's me.

a canadian college certificate is equal to a associated degree generally speaking.

Myself, I'm finishing up the honours portion of my Bachelor of Arts Political Science this year, then its back to doing stuff that matters.

Working on my bachelor of engineering then it's off to masters and doctorate of education so that I can eventually teach engineering.

Start college on Wednesday, taking Modern History, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

I'm finishing off and writing up a PhD now.

Finished my undergrad work in 03, planning to start my Masters in a few months.

still in school planning on going to a video game design school. Too many too choose D:l

Bachelors degree and half a masters!

Had to pack it in and join the real world tho :(

I finished high school more than 10 years ago. I worked for several years and retail and then decided there was no way I could work retail till I retire and am currently in my 3rd year of University.

I finished High School with a good number of GCSEs (can't remember how many, didn't fail any of my courses though)m attempted college but had to drop out due to mental health reasons (gak was hitting the fan really bad and it was far too hard to cope).

Started an IT Apprenticeship on May 2nd this year, finish at the end of January next year, had my payment fethed around with, had work placements that weren't suitable thanks to half-arsed efforts from my training company, but still managed to become CompTIA A+ and N+ certified, pass all my City and Guilds courses and i'm starting on my MCDST (Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician I think) next week.

Still in High School. Almost done with Freshman year. Just a quick question. I'm 14, almost 15. What's High School age in other countries? It's as early as 12 years old here.

Working on my BS in electrical engineering (Junior year). Currently on a semester long internship with Cisco Systems.

Finished my master's in library science in May. I am currently dreadfully underemployed.

In the UK you start aged 11 - 12 depending on your date of birth. You must attend until you have completed your GCSE exams (age 16) by law (some exceptions can be made for vocational courses at college) and there is an option to remain in high school until you are 18 to complete your A-Level exams whire needed for university entrance in a lot of cases.

AA degree at the moment. Currently a student pursuing a degree in Pharmacology (not to be confused with a pharm tech!!!)

Well I have a Bachelor in History and Religious and Studies, taking a year off before I start my master

In uni doing civil engineering, all my mates bar one are in uni too. Warhammer 40k is great brain food alright.

I'm still in secondary school (for the next four years, if sixth form counts).

Currently doing my degree, i think its a bachelors. (By think, I mean i'm fairly sure it is....)

Doing an MSc degree

BA in Graphic Design.

One year away from finishing a masters in English. If not for the assurance from my department that I'll be hired on as an instructor, I probably would have quit by now.

Did A levels for most of the year but dropped out because I really, really disliked the subjects I took.

Going to do a National Diploma in Art for the next two years starting in september. Hopefully get to Uni (eventually) and start a degree in Computer Game Development.

Incomplete BA. They gave me a Certificate of Higher Education, which is like getting a lollipop for taking part. There's a story behind it, but that is for another time.

BA of Science and Applied Science in Criminal Justice for me. Minor in Social Science (Psychology and Sociology)

Im only 13

I received an Associates in Automotive Collision Repair in '09

Boeing would be a good place to work, if you can get an offer. I can't imagine any work you would do with an associates would be much fun, though. Bachelors probably would help. But in matsci, to do anything really cool you should gun for at least a Master's.

At my school durring our second year we have an internship we can do at boeing and some people that have done it really liked it and boeing ended up just hiring them. Not completley sure if I do want to work there.

MA Hons, M Litt, M Res. Scraping funding together for a PhD.

Doctorate level degree completed in May.

Have an MD - was oblivious to Warhammer until a few years after finishing my residency in Family Practice. Now can play regularly (and paint). Hooray! Better late than never (Warhammer)...

Morning - school
Evening - wargaming in my FLGS
Night - Terrorize dakkadakka

Freshman in highschool, taking classes at the nearby college so basically a Freshman in both.

Still at school but I am homeschooled so I threw in as Other

Currently in my third year of college. Looking at the poll results, I have to say that I'm a little surprised that so many people that play this game have PhDs. Not sure why...

BSc Business & Marketing, MSc Construction Quantity Surveying. Start my MBA this July

I left school and got an NVQ in carpenty, I got bored fo that so i'm now doing a batchelors in history and heritage management.

I've put Bachelors but really it's not much of a Science.

I'm studying Policing & Criminal Law with a little Criminology thrown into the mix.

Iv got an AVCE in management and I'm currently studying for my RIC'S Bsc Hons degree in building surveying, might do my master, might not. All depends on what the job front looks like.

BA International Relations and Economics

I'm at my last year of College (American High School) and doing early studies in Military History in the European theater from the periods of 1933-1950.

Ph.D. in Molecular Biology/Genetics here

Undergrad Strategic Studies
Postgrad Post war reconstruction
Postgrad War studies, PSC(j)

MSc. in Biophysics, PhD in Biology
