I'm starting school next week! I'm majoring in History and minoring in English, but that's subject to the addition of a second major in film.

Roughly 6 credits short of a BA in Geology, probably won't complete (been five years since I had to quit for economic and other reasons, don't see the point now). Graduate courses in Geology, completed coursework for minors in Chemistry, Physics, and Accounting. Many other assorted courses.

I'm a burned-out professional student.

LOL! I didn't do it the regular way. I started college in 1968 as a mechanical engineer major. I quickly realized I didn't want to be one. I spent a few years as a Political Science major, then was cast out for bad grades (It was the years of the Vietnam War demonstrations, and I got really involved with that.

In 1993, I went back to college and found that I was 4 classes short of a degree. My first college course back was "The History of the Vietnam War". How ironic...

I took 3 more political science courses after that. The others were small group seminars with students that were specializing in the subjects. I aced them all. An adult who has kept an interest in learning about all sorts of things for 30 years has an advantage over even very bright college-age students...

Anyway, I have a BA in Political Science now. It doesn't have the slightest impact on my career. A degree is only important for about 5 years; after that it is all what you can do on the job.

But it sure matters to me personally. I used vacation time for 3 years to take those classes, and I walked a mile each way from the subway station to the classrooms twice each week for three years even in the snow. But I finished it.

Senior in highschool. Then Montgomery College where I'll study... who the hells know what. After that I'll transfer up to a four year college.

What do you study when your life goal is to save the world and the only thing you're really good at (besides being better than most people in math, science, history, and reading) is writing?

The nice thing about being in journalism is that, well, you end up with, at the very least, a passing knowledge of just about everything and deep knowledge in certain areas. When reading and editing is your job, you tend to experience a multitude of worlds through the written words you're reading and/or editing.

Yeah, I'm waxing poetic about what I do ... back to writing PR pieces for my corporate OVERLORDS.

My profession is surveyor, and I'm a graduated engineer for geodesy. Our grades are called different, no baccelors and masters here, hell knows how ours compare. But I trashed my profession 3 years ago and made my long time hobby my new profession, working as software developer now.

From my experience you learn far more on the job than a degree will teach you, but it seems a necessary 'qualifer' to have a degree in order to apply for some jobs

I'm working on MSc-equivalent degrees in theoretical physics and applied physics, that'll take me another 2.5 years on estimate. Thinking about going for a Ph.D. after that, but that's a decision that I'll take in one or two years time.

Yup, journalists are the real professional students. We get paid to listen to people, analyze the info and write short essays.
