its called a college but really its a trade school. took a one year carpentry course but i haven't swung a hammer in like 5 years. kind of a waste but i enjoy the job i have now.
I attended but fell about 4 classes short of a major in psychology due to a situation at the time. Since attended trade school for welding and plumbing and ended up a merchant mariner.
No college here, just a High School graduate. I attended a tech school for about 6 months, and thats about it as far as my higher education goes, that was 32 years ago. :

College graduate...Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Administration. My career has been operating businesses which provide services in healthcare, but I've never worked in traditional healthcare administration.
4 years as a fine arts student, no degree, then off to the army for a few years. Finished a bachelors in Healthcare Administration and marketing years later. After a good run things turned sour a while back and I am now in a small engine repair trade school that the VA is paying for... Life is a ride for sure.
I did not go as a younger man. Now in my late 40's I just finished my B.A.O.L. (Bachelor of Art in Organizational Leadership) and now starting a M.B.A. Master of Business Administration. A completely new world has opened up to me. I would offer if a person could find a way to go to school even one class at a time it may open one’s mind.
BA in Economics and MBA in Finance while working full time. Naturally, I spent my entire career in Sales & Marketing management. Now happily retired and enjoying plying the art of doing nothing.
Associates in Electrical Engineering thanks to the USMC back in 1990, then nothing until I got my BS in Poli Sci a couple years ago. Gonna do law school in about a year or so once my youngest daughter is a junior in high school.
Degree didn't do much for my current job in charge of an IT department for a county government, but college was a lot of fun as an adult.
I think you just get a lot more out of it when you go because you want to, as opposed to going because someone else says you should.

BS degree in Industrial Technology at the University of Houston. Quite useful in my job. I'm a project manager building chemical laboratories. Quite a bit of work in the chemical plants, refineries and the health industry around Houston and along the gulf coast.
BS in Business Administration. Took a total of 8 years to get, had to stop during the middle due life, but glad I finished. Can't say it has helped professionally much, but it sure helped on the inner growth department. Been toying with the idea of getting a MFA, I kind of miss school, but the costs are insane.
B.B.A's in Economics and Finance
Minor in Mathematics.
I have applied to a few Ph.D. programs in economics and am excited to start in August!
It's very fun seeing what everyone has done (school wise). Some very different than others, but all seem pretty happy with their choice. Very neat that we are so different.

Currently there, double majoring in History and English and taking any music classes I want to, which means for me it's a lot of fun... Anyway I'm glad I'm there for many reasons, one of them being I wouldn't be smoking a pipe otherwise!
Antioch/Cornell BA Urban Studies... Yale: MDIV... Like to do more... but I need to win the lottery to go back...
I'm finally there, no degree yet, but I'm maintaining a 4.0 as a physics major (for now haha) and am feeling extremely fulfilled by it. The best part (well, there's a lot of best parts to this) is after a decade of insomnia, it disappeared a week after starting school, and I finally sleep when I go to bed. Never really got to use my brain at work. Looking forward to academic related jobs through school while attending so I can do exactly that. New term starts tomorrow here, so busy, busy, busy (gotta look into more scholarships too). This is a whole new world for me.
