AAS in Electronics Technology. Probably the same school that Kamikazesasquatch went to just a different campus.
Only worked in the field a short time. I was making almost double working on a loading dock at nights so I stuck in the physical labor field and left the nice, comfortable, heated job to others. What was I thinking? 8O But, I would not trade my experiences for anything.

I'm earning my Bachelors in Information Technology / Info. Security but will be changing my concentration to Programming. I've been playing around with Java and had a few classes on C+ and C++ a while back and love messing around with it. When I was still in the Army I took a years worth of Crim. Justice classes thinking I wanted to be a detective....I still do (it's basically what I did in the Army.) but life isn't leading me down that path.

I am a student of Open Air University (School of Hard Knocks), with three majors in Wondering, Wandering and Wishing.

Actually, I made it through 1 semester of college. Just not my thing, but I did manage to earn .5 credit in Scuba Diving.

Some days I wish I stayed in school. Other days I'm happy with the education of a wandering man.

Port Coquitlam, B.C.
I started off with a B.Sc., majoring in Food Sciences with an eye towards sensory evaluation (pun fully intended); and launched my first business venture. I Then went back for a B.Comm/Marketing, and somehow ended up walking away with an MBA and a pile of student loans before partnering in my current enterprise.
If the Canadian government continues to subsidize post-secondary education for those past the age of 65 when I hit the magic number (and I am financially stable enough to do so), I plan to return to begin the road to a doctorate in Archeology.

I have a BA (Premed, General Biology Major, Organic Chemistry and Environmental Studies minors). Got into Medical School, but was so turned off by the process that I went another route. I and am 3 credits short of a Master in the Art of Teaching (MAT). I will be licensed to teach Biology, Physical Science, and Chemistry 5-12.

I've been in IT for 12 years now (I think) and I'm still the only person I know in the field who's degree is actually in IT. Most others either have no degree or have one in a different area.

Propar you pretty much nailed my whole teaching plan on the head. One of the reasons I chose Composition and Rhetoric is because its high probability in getting a tenure track job. Once I am done with my two masters degrees I will probably get my Ph.D in Literature. After that who knows.

BS in Statistics and Industrial Management; MBA, and was halfway thru a PH.D in Industrial Management when Hughes Aircraft said I needed to take a early retirement. They were paying for half of it.

Bachelor of Science in Geography, with an emphasis on physical (as compared to political or other types of) geography. Master of Science in Environmental Science. And yet I ended up a systems analyst. Go figure.
If the Canadian government continues to subsidize post-secondary education for those past the age of 65 when I hit the magic number (and I am financially stable enough to do so), I plan to return to begin the road to a doctorate in Archeology.
I couldn't rule something like that out. School's a lot of fun once you take the pressure off. I'd just do it to keep the brain cells active.
